Good Navi Version?
Good Navi Version?
so i just recently picked up an is350 with navi but the friggin dealership didnt come with the DVD for the navi. whats a good version to order? i was planning on ordering it on ebay. 7.1 good? or just go for a 5.1? whats your opinions guys?
First congrads on the car! Glad you found something worth getting.
Second PM VikH on the Navi disc as he has done some research as of recent, maybe you can buy his disc if he gets the new one and you can save some $$
I dont know if he got the new disc or not but he was talking about it.
You need to get the car clean and ready for our meet in the next few weeks.

I lot of people like the disc that came with the 08's becuase of the automatic "I Agree button"
I lot of people also like the disc that came with the 06s because of the override screen.
If you want the best of the both worlds make a hybrid disc

if you can find the 06 version stick with it, I was told the newer version doesnt show the 355 extension and there is probably minor changes to it that you will notice.
Is the car under warranty still?

i think only its factory warranty. i called in mcgrath asking about what would happen if i bought the car from a non lexus dealership and how would warranty be and they told me 40,000mi or 4 years, which ever comes first.

warranty is warranty and should be fully transferable... 4yr 50,000
"Basic Warranty
The Basic Warranty coverage is for 48 months or 50,000 miles, whichever occurs first. Wheel alignment and balancing are covered for 12 months or 20,000 miles, whichever occurs first."

Starting at release 7.1, you don't have to press the "I agree" button each time you start the car.
Version 8.1 is the latest.

I believe the voice recognition is greatly improved with version 8.1. The loaner I used had no difficulty understanding numbers I wanted to dial. I'm sure the same would apply for voicing nav addresses as well!
