Default Nav system update

How do I know if my 2002 RX 300 needs the nav system update or if it's already installed?

Most likely your 2002 RX still has the old version. Check to see if you can get Canadian coverage. And also the version of the software, if it says version 2000.1, that's old.

Got the Update!

Excellent! I just installed the new update, version 2001 for my '02 RX300.

It's awesome, and absolutely love it. It covers Canada at last!

Cheers,
Hendry

Just curiouse:

Did the dealer charge you, or give it to you under warranty? My understanding is the part is $499 plus labor.

Thanks!

DD,

No, the New Car Sales dept covers the charges for me. At my dealership, the cost is $600. Install is very simple, just swapping out the discs.

I didn't get it free because of warranty. My RX is year 2002, and it should have been equiped with the latest update.

If you read the thread below, you'll know why they cover the charges.

hleo1,

I picked up my 02 at the end of March. I am able to select Canada when choosing regions, but haven't really played with it much. If I remember correctly when I go into the setup menu it says it's version 2001, the car came with it that way. What was your old version and what is the version it brought you up to? Just wanted to know that I have the newest version available. Thanks.

BTW, did you have to pay for the upgrade? Also did you get to keep the old disc? STill think $600 for that disc is outrageous.

Andy,

Your nav is the most up-to-date. My car came with the older version: 2000.1

Now they gave me the 2001, same as your version.

Enjoy!

Hey All,

Which parts of Canada were not covered in the old version that are now covered?

I think the easiest excuse is to say I've been planning to drive there for some time and since the literature said it had extended Canada coverage... etc. (besides, we are planning on driving up north some time, but I dont know exactly where...)

Bioart,

My old navigation, version 2000.1 didn't have Canada At all. So even if you drive up to Canada, your screen map will be blank once you pass the US border. Just like I did. I live in Seattle, and frequently drive up to Vancouver, B.C. One easy way to confirm this is try to change the region map in your Nav. If you don't even see the button "Canada", then you don't have any Canada at all.... Otherwise you should be able to select "Canada" region...
