GS300h latest map updates ??

[Hardy]

How do you update the maps in the navigation system on a 2014 GS300h. I went to the lexus map update site but that said contact your local dealer.

I was under the impression that you could buy online and download to a USB memory stick with a unique code.

So, can this be done online or do I have to contact local dealer??

I know its cheaper to just use Iphone but if you can afford the GS300h then the cost of an update is minimal.

Can't be done online. Either there is a flap above the hazard warning switch which lifts up and you replace the micro SD card or you have a hard drive based system that needs to be dealer updated.

OK thanks Colin, will get in touch with local dealer.

You can buy them online and update yourself saving on dealer labour.

Here is the site: https://toyotamaps.online/map-updates/toyota-lexus-navigation-gen7-update

 

You just need to buy 32GB usb stick put files there and enter the code. It is way cheaper that going to a dealer.

Thanks Hangie, thats a great help.

Great link and defo cheaper than Lexus dealer who quoted me £200 for an update.

Did anyone use them before? Will it actually work through USB?

I used these guys, bought a MicroSD card, much, much cheaper than the dealer quote. Genuine Toyota/Lexus outlet.

See if they offer a way for your system?

Have been in touch with the sat nav update site :  https://toyotamaps.online/map-updates/toyota-lexus-navigation-gen7-update

They say that a new version will be out towards the end of this month (2018 v2). Therefore hanging on until this is released before I purchase.

Will post how I get on in October.

Well have updated successfully using the link above. The download file is quite big and a 64GB USB  is needed. Takes about 90 mins to upload in car after entering the unique code supplied. Cost $99 approx £75 and is the latest version 2018 v2 just released. Well pleased and cost less than half the price quoted by dealer.

Just got latest version of map update 2020 v1 from same site 75 dollars (£63).......bargain. Works perfectly.

Hi Robert,

No difference noticed, I updated for new roads in North West. Apologies for slow reply, only check site out roughly once a month.

Cheers, Brian.
