Default Has anyone updated their Navigation SD Card?
I was wondering if anyone else here has updated their navigation map SD card. Is it as simple as popping the old one out and popping the new one in or did you have to do anything else?

I got a new card, PN 86271-78013 and it is stuck "checking data" forever and never gets anywhere.

I have a 2015 IS350.

Thanks, I should have posted those links as I was aware of them and followed the instructions, as difficult as it is to see them on that website. I just wanted to see if anyone has actually done it and had success or if there is some little step that they assume you know about that I didn't do.

Thanks, I'm pretty convinced that I have a bad SD. I have swapped the old and new SD cards several times, it is not a seating issue as the old one works every time and the new one never works.

If all else fails, sounds like a trip to the dealer for a reset might be needed.
I was hoping to hear if anyone actually needed a "reset" to get it to work. I expect that the instructions you linked to would mention a reset if it was something that was necessary.

Because it's so easy to copy data from one SD card to another, Lexus has linked your VIN to the NAV updates. If you bought one online and not through the dealer then you probably just threw your money away.

Probably? Are you just guessing about this or do you have a source? How would my car know what map it should be running? Why do the Lexus install instructions (linked above) say that this is an update the customer can do himself?

I'm not guessing. One of my best friends is a director at Sewell.

As for installing the updated card, closely follow the directions here to install:

The Gen 8 instructions are second from the bottom on this graphic at the time of this post.



The Lexus Navigation site should give you all the information you need about how to update, what you need to update, what the latest update is, etc.

Happy navigating.
What i mean is how do i get my gps to use from the satellite, not from the sdcard. My car has the gen8 sdcard, but i want to use the gps live from satellite, not the maps from the sdcard that comes with the car

You can buy an iphone mirroring kit from beat sonic? By default you can't do what you're asking.

Well my friend has an IS350 and he is using the gps from Satellite, not the one from his SDcard.

You can tell your friend he's wrong. I just asked my service adviser and he says it's as easy as popping out the old one and popping in the new one.

I just can't believe no one on here has updated their chip.

I asked about this a couple weeks ago and most folks just said they use their phones instead.
