Confused - 2009 Ls460 DVD/Nav Update
I have searched through 7 pages of search results regarding the 2009 LS460 DVD/NAV update.. Maybe my search terms are off, but am I understanding this correctly? There's no DIY for updating the 2009 LS460 Nav? In previous/other models, I recall putting in a DVD (in the glovebox).. hitting an "update" button in the NAV menu...voila.
I can't seem to find a clear answer on this question. is this something you *have* to have the dealer do? Again this is for a 2009 LS460.

Augh, that SUCKS. Something so likely very simple.. made complicated. I get it if Lexus wanted to charge customers for the Map Update CD/DVD.. a lot of work goes into that. But then to not give the customers an easy way to update? Lame.

To update the 'new' navi (late 09+) you need a special kit AND a dvd. Not available to public AND expensive. The kit includes a special usb cable that plugs into the glovebox USB port and allows an upload to be performed.
OR you can extract the HDD from the navi headunit and perform a manual update. Search.

So- I will look in the Glovebox and see if there's a USB port. I'm not sure if mine is "late" 2009 or not. But after reading the Owner's Manual, it never mentioned a USB port. Assuming it's the OLDER system, is it still like the old LS430, where you take the CD/DVD tray out of the trunk and replace the disc? Or, is it actually a HDD? I will search those terms, so thanks for the guidance.
