I have a lexus is200 se on a 2000, the sat nav really needs updating because i cannot search by postcode and it doesnt pick up most no entries, is this the case that search destinations by postcode is due to updating the dvd? and will any newer dvd disc work in my car?

are you sure yours is the DVD version, and not the CD version?

i think in both instances, there is no postcode searching....

some one will be along soon enough to confirm this for you.

sorry its a cd based

Hi there,
I have an IS200 (99) so just wanted to find out if I can get updates for my built-in sat nav? Please help

Check updates on here....Map Updates

no postcode searching and update discs are expensive...

Might as well buy a Garmin (or similar) as they're better anyway and a good price.

mine is the cd based system in a 99 is200, a lot more user friendly than any of the cheap portbale sytems, it might not do post codes but the update disc allows yoy to search by street name and house number (what more do you need? postcodes could cover a large area afterall) and is lot more complete than the early disc en terms of the amount of street names.
purchase from the site above, think it works out about £80 but well worth it.

I really like the Satnav on my 05 Is 200 despite the lack of Postcodes, nice big screen and makes it clear which lane you need to be in on an unfamiliar junction.. The big plus over the Tom Tom in my van is that it is fixed in to the dash of my car so it is not so easy to steal unlike my Tom Tom which needs to be hidden when I park up.. Already lost one, smashed window and dented door
