Default Rx350 Nav Dvd

Do you know where the NAV DVD is in the car? I want to remove to make a copy of the DVD. Has anyone tried to do that, and how?

Thanks for your help!

To answer your questions:

Yes, I do know where the Nav DVD is in the car, and

Yes, people have tried to copy the DVD.

They tried to do it by using software designed for that purpose.

On the website - Sewell Lexus Parts - you can drill down to the RX350 Nav upgrade disk and there are install instructions for the nav dvd.

Thank you, Ken, for the very helpful link.

Also, thank you, tfischer, for answering my questions very percisely without giving any information. You must be in Seatle working for Microsoft! - Just kidding. Appreciate the rely.

Dave is correct regarding the copying issue.

However, I could disclose the secret location of the DVD, but I just don't want to. As an owner, I had a lot of fun looking for it, and don't want to deprive another of that joy.

I found it, I found it...
And I had fun too. You got to give me a break. I just got my car, just had 5 miles on it, and I paid nearly 90K for it, unlike some of you just have to shell out 40K.

But why I can't do the Menu, Volume, top left corner, bottom left corner, top left corner, bottome left corner thing like some folks said they can do with their '07 RX350?

What's so special about Arizona that makes cars cost twice as much?

That code was disabled (or more likely, changed) in the 6.1 Nav software, which you apparently have.
