Nav updates are generation specific...

And to the OP, Oct/Nov is usually the release of new nav updates.

Nice. I received the email from my Lexus Dealer earlier today. Came to let you guys know.

FYI my dealer also now offers the "old" 2011 NAV Update for 139 USD (new) while supplies last...

Sewell has them for 165.92 + tax + shipping with CL discount. If i were you i'd cancel the order and order from L-tunedparts.. saving yourself at least $10+

I notice that Gen 7 is also listed there now.

Hey guys if you order from Sewell, you also have a mail-in rebate of $40 if you send in your 2010, 11 update disc. It may take a while to get it but it's your money to take and that will bring the total down quite a bit.

A quick update. I just got back from leaving the car at the dealer to have the update installed. When I gave the service advisor the USB drive, he said it wasn't a hard drive nav unit and I needed the disk. I said I was certain it was a hard drive because it was a Gen 6 nav in the 2010's. He called one of the tech's and the tech confirmed it was a hard drive. He tried to get himself off the hook by saying that the 2010's were the first year for the hard drive nav's.

The installation price is $125 (Lexus of Las Vegas). That seemes really steep, but since this might be the only update I'll do, it makes that price easier to accept.
