Have a 2008 RX 350. How do I install the new DVD?

If you have the Navigation Manual it will show you place. In my 2005 it's in the trunk under the mats. Might want to look at the other threads on this subject instead of posting a new thread since this is a very recent topic already.

After you get your new Version 9.1 NAV disk installed use it and try to enter a new destination or anything else while you're driving.

Then go to the following thread to see how to fix that problem so you can enter "stuff" while the car is moving.

The disc for my '07 is located beneath the cargo mat under the tool tray.
The tool tray has to be removed. There it is. Turn the ignition on, press the
button on the unit and out pops the disc. Install the new disc and all is well after you replace all the items you removed. Insure the correct area you desire is set on the nav unit. Enjoy!!

The navi for the 2008 is under the tool tray also. If what you have so far isn't enough, there are other threads you can find by search. it's a very easy change.

Thanks very much. I tried to lift out the tool tray after removing the two plastic rivets on the sides. I can list it up a couple of inches and it snags on something. I really don't want to break anything! Is there a trick to lifting this thing out ? btw I couldn't find anything on this in the Nav manual

Yeha the Nav manual is very general. It gives a small illustration and arrow pointing in the area of the compartment I would not even bother since you found it already.

ours is 2009 but I think it's identical to the 08 in this regard. I've had it out a couple of times and didn't have any snags or troubles. I don't remember if there are more than 2 pins or not so look it over closely. And seems obvious but be sure the lip of the tray isn't catching on something when you lift it. Otherwise I think the only choice is give it a harder pull or try to flash a light under the clearance you can get and see if you can see anything. Good luck.

1) Remove rear tool tray( NAV DVD player is underneath)
a)fold down rear seats
b)find velcro tabs on each side of rear tray cover where it meets back seats
c)lift velcro tabs
d)slide fingers gently along edge where rear cover meets rear seats to release 5 plastic push pins.
e)Use 12mm socket to remove the 2 now visible hinge bolts
f)remove tool tray cover
g) remove tool tray, There are 2 black push pin on both sides that pry up easily. NAV DVD player should now be visible on passenger side
2) Put ignition in ACC position
3) If there is a dust cover on unit remove it. Mine did not have this. Some do.
4) There should be a "slide type button" on your left of the unit. Slide this button to your left(facing unit). DVD should eject
5) Insert new DVD
6) Slide button back to original position
7) allow NAV to update before turning off ignition( check NAV Screen)
8) Reassemble in reverse order.

Hope this helps. I just replaced mine in a 2008 RX. It may sound like a lot , but I was finished in 15 minutes.

Tip: If you are uncomfortable with DIYs, take your time and think it through.
