Someone gave me a Navigation disc from 2005 ES. Will it work in my 2001 LS? I want to try it out because it's the newer version than the one in my car right now. Also, is it easy to install? I'll try to run a search on the forum here to see if I come up with directions how to install, but if you have a link handy, please post. Appreciate replies. Thanks a lot!!!

 

i highly doubt (does the 05 es has 4th gen nav?) but not 100%

 

Here is what the disc has for description:
DVD NAVIGATION MAP
NORTH AMERICA
W41 D

DATA VERSION 04.2


and 2005 ES has Gen4 nav. I just saw the layout of Lexus models to Nav version on lexus-parts.com

 

in that case then i think it won't work. 4th gen nav has voice recognition and it's a completely different system

 

thanks rominl.
mine has voice recognition as well. what happens if I try it out. will it freeze up? just want to make sure I'll be able to load mine back in...

 

no it wont work

 

personally i wouldn't recommend trying it out, you could mess up the stuff inside.

and yeah i mixed up. your car has voice recognition too but it's of different generation

 

That's what I'm thinking....not worth screwing things up. Thanks koolaidman. Thanks ROMINL.
