Default DVD Navigation Upgrade DVD installation

Will anyone give me information on how to install the 2007 DVD update disk for a 2001 RX300? Thanks.

Default Nav update

The computer is located next to the spare tire, on the am/fm antenna side of the vehicle. You should be able to take the large plastic tray with the jack handle and some other stuff molded into it out, then behind the jack is the computer. Turn on the ignition, slide the switch cover over, towards the DVD opening. It will then expose the eject switch, press the switch and the dvd will come out. Put in the new one and then close the switch cover, as soon as you put it in the drive, you should see it start updating on the navigation display.....

To make certain you don't scratch the discs, either the one you're removing or the new one, I'd recommend you turn the tire jack's crank so it is as far down as possible. Don't forget to turn the crank the 1.5 turns back up to keep it in place while you're moving.

I've had issues with getting a decent read on replacment discs, so I've gotten to where I can, at a stoplight, go back there, eject/reinsert it, and get everything back in place. 30 seconds, tops, after you've done it a couple dozen times.
