I know my dealer will sell me the SD card with updated navigation data, but can I get it somewhere else online? Can't find it on Amazon

 

The dealer will update your Nav data for ~$250-300. The annual updates become available in the Fall. You can get cheaper updates on eBay, but they could be pirated versions.

 

Take this with a grain of salt, but my father bought a map update for his Prius Prime from eBay, installed it, and now maps don't work anymore. Dealership tried reloading them after and they say he needs a new head unit.

Granted, the Prius and LS are very different machines, different electronics, and different storage methods , but just be careful with your data source. May be worth spending the extra money vs risk? Maybe our experience was a total fluke? Your call.

Let us know if you do find something that works that doesn't cost a kidney though

 

This guy is asking $125 for this navi update. I had it in my watched items for over a week. I just got an email because I expressed interest (having it in my watched items), I could have 30% off if I buy it within 30 hours, My 2014 is on the original one and it was only $88...

For $88, I figured I would try it it… I'll make sure I use the best USB drive I have to do this.

I'll post back with my results...

 

I just don't see a point in spending $300 at Lexus dealer for Nav updates. Maps will be behind times anyways. Just save the money and get Carplay where you can use Google maps/Waze. It will cost you about $600 but way better and will make car up to date with many other features.
