Default Nav disk update

Okay folks,

Please forgive my ignorance, but I can't get the search results to work properly on CL. Does anyone have the link on replacing your nav disk?

TIA.

Never mind, I guess things are really that easy. Following steps in case anyone cares:

So, sounds to me like the instructions are:
1. turn on car
2. open trunk and locate dvd player
3. eject old dvd
4. insert new dvd
5. leave car on while dvd updates ecu

It may depend on the year. I believe my 06 Nav DVD is under the front passenger seat.

Have you updated yet?

Yes, the location is actually under the passenger seat. Slide the seat completely FORWARD. The directions above were a simple cut and paste from another post. Meh, I'm lazy

How do you know? I know my 2003 GX takes the Gen 2/3 DVD, but is there a part number for the latest software?

I just looked at a ton of them on e-bay, and wasn't confident enough to buy one. I don't want to end up with the same version I already have.

That would be pirating the software. Discussions of making or obtaining illegal copies is not allowed on ClubLexus.

Does anyone know if the Gen 2-3 v6.1 update expand on the coverage outside of major cities? What I mean is, will you get point-to-point guidance in towns that have "full coverage" (the ones with a "Y" next to their names), or are we still stuck with major roads only? I hope it is improved. My PDA gives me point-to-point voice guidance and the maps and software are on an SD card.
