That is rather unusual as there were no Lexus navigation maps for Canada at that time. Are you sure it is a "real" Canadien car. Perhaps it is a US spec car sold in Canada.
Looking in the user manual there are many small differences between US and Canada models, typically in symbols, markings and warnings.

.. the navigation has Canadian maps , it had a bunch of address in memory from Toronto Canada, it works fine in US and Canada .
Oh, thanks a lot for all that information and documentation!
It was my understanding (from posts on this forum) that the 01-03 LS430 came with Gen. 2/3 navigation for which there were no Canadian maps and correspondingly no need for navigation in the car. So what may have happened?
Perhaps maps were updated? Or perhaps the Gen. 4 navigation was introduced in Canada on the 03 models? Any information of that in your documentation?
The Toyota/Lexus navigation generations were not introduced uniformly around the globe. As far as I know, in Europe also the 04-06 LS430 came with Gen. 2/3 navigation.
And that hot-water tubing on the windshield - never saw that before! Is that a Canada-only feature?
As you can see the Navigation user manual was printed in 2002 and Canada I'll post few pictures . As far as the tubing on the windshield I never see that so the glass shop, we called the dealer around and they were in the clouds as well for sure it's Canada models only .
It must be a Canadian model - I put the VIN# into the Lexus Drivers site and it couldn't tell me anything except the year of the car.
I really like the look without NAV. Plus, it's essentially obsolete now.
Got on Lexus Driver site input the vin of my car witch it's 100% built for Canada , got just limited information like exterior color , model , body type , transmission and date of first use .No specification of county was made for or port of entry .
