2014 IS300H - how to check software / media firmware versions?

[corpjones]

Hi All

Does anyone know how to check software or firmware levels on the 63 plate IS300H  premier model? 

As part of buying a approved used car I wanted them to update this if out of date but the reply I got was a bit vague, be good to know how I can verify myself if its not the latest version 🙂

Usually, when you enter your VIN and GPS serial number, the Lexus website will tell you which tools and firmwares were installed from the previous owner. In my case everything was installed and I was surprised I do not have to do anything unless they release something in the near future.

The process itself is very well described into the guidelines and takes ~1hr.

Ah, I've not picked up the car yet so will try that when I get it

You will be able to find it here:

https://www.lexus.co.uk/owners/about-my-lexus/my-lexus-portal/lexus-link

When you create an account and later add your your vehicle VIN and the GPS serial number to your account, the portal will tell you which components were installed already and which aren't.

This the best way to see which needs to be installed and upgraded.

Edit: I forgot to mention, I am using MyLexus portal, instead of MyLink app, as the app is not available in my country for the time being.
