Default How can I upgrade my stock 99LS 400 Navi w/o buying one from the dealer?

It still has the yr 2000 maps and its outdated like hell ... Is there any websites I could visit or is there anyone selling the new maps (CD) that runs on the 99ls?

Even the update disk is OLD!
You can probably save up and get a used climate control on ebay and upgrade to a doubledin Nav
Looks better too

you can buy upgrade disks on craigslist sometimes...

but like dranom said, a complete doubledin upgrade would probably be better.

you would need a new nav/radio and doubledin kit though. this would cost roughly $600 for a good one and then you have instilation cost...

1- We don't allow discussion of any pirated software including Lexus Navigation Map disks.

2-'98-00 LS400s don't have disk readers, they have hard drives iirc. A complete hard drive would need to be purchased with the map data on it, and it has been discontinued for ~5 years as I recall. Last update was in 2005, current cost is ~$350 + $500 core charge for your hard drive. http://lexus.sewellparts.com/accesso...1999/2642.html
