Default Map udate

I have the 2012 lexus IS250 Gen6. I bought the map update USB from dealer. When I try to plug in the hole with letter “MAP” located next to OBD reader and didn’t fit it. I don’t know how to do that. Does the car has any USB reader left and where is that located? Thank you so much

Gen 6 can't really be DIY'd easily. iirc, there's 3 parts required. The key file (which is what you bought), Techstream, and the nav update tool (which will be impossible/nearly impossible to find). You're likely stuck paying the dealerships labor to update it.
