Default Help with Nav system. "Cant read program please contact a dealer"

Hello guys,
I just got an LS460 2007 model .am not sure if it was tampered with but I keep getting the message on the Nav system "can't read a program Pls contact a dealer". The challenge is I cannot get any one who can assist with resolving this issue .I could see there is mean to be a DVD loader in the glove compartment but this is not the case as I can't find anything there .please any assistance and a step by step guide would be most appreciated .this is my first Lexus and haven't used it for a day before this. Thanks.

This usually means there is a problem with the HDD-based navigation (the HDD itself). There is no DVD reader in the glove box - it's in the center dash. Unless you are very capable with car audio installs, electronics and HDD cloning, this is not a DIY project. Unfortunately, it's also an expensive dealer fix. Best solution is to use googlemaps navigation on your phone and bag the cars system.

thank you for your reply .we managed to get hard drive out . And busy looking online for a possible replacement. Would have junked the whole system, however I can't control the fan speed, Bluetooth and all other things on the screen. I also noticed the radio stopped working after taking out the HDD. Quite a frustrating process. Would appreciate any heads up in getting a new/used HDD. T
hanks .

How do you plan to clone the software?
