New Sat Nav Cd In Older Car?

[Nicola]

I thought I would be kind and give my dad a much needed xmas pressie, up to date satnav.

He has a 2001 IS200 with the original satnav disc and data. He has asked his dealer over the last couple of years for updates and they have said no or offered it as the silly high price.

I bought him a 2004/5 sat nav cd so he could have up to date info, but it does not work.

Can you only have updates on the older Lexus models and not new discs?

Have I wasted my money, or does anyone know how to make the satnav disc work?

Thanks,

i think the easy way to check is the size of the screen

I can't check the car as I am now 100 miles away from it.

So do the newer cars run from dvd and the older ones cd?

(the disc was not advertised as a dvd, but I think it is)
