Tom Tom is not the map-data provider; HERE Technologies (formerly Navteq) is. I know because I'm a regular map editor for HERE. https://www.here.com/en

All I know is my current navigation software is nearly worthless in many places. An example is whenever I’m traveling near Ft. Hood, the damn thing has me going in circles. It doesn’t use the correct exits & I have to use Google Maps. Had I known now how bad this system really is & how expensive it is to update, I would never have gotten this feature. The Lexus infotainment system has been my #1 problem on this vehicle so far. Unfortunately, it’s not like days of old where an aftermarket company made a replacement & you just swapped them out.

I anticipate it’s not as simple as swapping the micro sd. Likely some kind of signed registration to “key” the files. Otherwise people could perform a bit by bit copy. A few generations back they started signing it I think... could be wrong.

I think you are 100% correct! Otherwise, we would be hearing of people doing updates themselves. It really pisses me off that they have made such a racket out of navigation. I’m happy with a Garmin, but if you want the good audio system, you have to have their garbage navigation!

guess we'll find out when the update comes out if its a part or not, the dealer technology person may have the answer too
there have been no updates since mid 17, so only 1 for a 16 owner,
