Punisher, follow the instruction with the exception of step 7 just click on update history. That should help.

1. Download Update Software

1)Download the software update file to your USB memory drive.2)Bring your USB memory drive to your vehicle and proceed with the remaining steps in these instructions to update your multimedia system.

2. Software Update

1)For this and all following steps, keep your vehicle parked in a well-ventilated open area outside, suitable for running the engine, not in an enclosed structure such as a garage.Note: The entire process may take up to 15 minutes. Example screens are shown in these instructions. Actual screens may vary by model.2)Start the engine ("READY" light on on hybrid models)a)The LEXUS emblem will be displayed on the navigation screen first.b)Then wait for the display to switch to the "CAUTION" screen, and then select Continue. The map screen will display.3)Insert the USB Flash Drive into the vehicle USB port. Refer to your Owner's Manual for the location inside your vehicle.Note: Be careful not to close any doors/lids near the USB port to prevent damage.4)Press SETUPa)Press the SETUP button (models without Remote Touch controller).b)For models with a Remote Touch controller, first press the MENU button, then select Setup from the navigation menu.5)Select General.6)Select Software Update (may need to scroll up or down).7)Select Update.8) Select Update Software on the Software Update screen.
Note: This selection will be "grayed out" if the software on the USB flash drive is the same as or older version than what's already on the Multimedia system. If this happens, there is no need to update the Multimedia system.9)Select Yes10)Wait for the software to install.11)When "The software is ready to update." displays, shut off the engine (shut off hybrid system on hybrid models). Then, start the engine again ("READY' light on on hybrid models).a)DO NOT shut off the engine or hybrid system again until step 13, AFTER THE MAP APPEARS ON THE NAVIGATION SCREEN.b)DO NOT Remove the USB memory drive from the vehicle USB port. The "CAUTION' screen may appear on the multimedia system for several minutes during this final portion of the update.12)Once the navigation screen is present, the update is complete.13)Remove the USB memory drive and shut off the engine (shut off hybrid system on hybrid models).

how does one update the map software? I got a 2017 map microSD but it sort of just freezes for a long time.

Mine just rebooted on it's own when on the way home from my 15k service. I guess I have the update. Will have to check the version.

JB, must of the time the issue is with the formatting and/or the flash drive. I had some issues the first time and had to reset the complete system.
