Does Anyone Know The Part No. And Make Of The 2007 Sat Nav Dvd

[LS430 Owner]

Hi, I have a 2000 LS430 and think that the Sat Nav is the original disc and would like the updated 2007 version. I have phoned Lexus and it will cost £140, but they were reluctant to give me the manufacturer, or version and part no. as they obviously did not want me to try and obtain one from elsewhere, if this is possible. Does anyone have the new addition and if so could you advise this info. I don't have the instructions for our Sat Nav, so can't even look at manual and haven't taken our disc out as yet.

Many thanks.

Hiya, I don't know the part number, but try here for a disc. I've ordered the CD update for my LS400 from them and their service is good.

Hi

This is the only other supplier of the DVD disc's

http://www.lexus-mapupdates.eu/

You will need to remove your disc to check the number on it, then enter it in the website and they will tell you if there is an update, they are cheaper than Lexus and are very quick to deliver.

To remove the disc, open the boot, remove the floorboard, prise out the plastic trim clip holding the right (drivers side) side floor panel, under this will be a silver box with a black front that you cant really see as its very close to the rear chassis rail. There are two 10mm bolts on top holding it down, use the spanner out of the tool kit on the other side of the boot and remove the bolts, DO NOT DROP THEM THEY WILL RATTLE FOR EVER!!! Lift the front of the DVD up enough to slide it open and press the button, I think you need to have the ignition on to do this. The disc will pop out and you can read the number.

If you want to try with my old number on the site (you need to put a number in to get past the first page) its 08664 - 50860, put this in and it gives details of the latest available, but don't order it with my number because the version will be different, mine was a 2001 disc.

The latest disc is a duel layer disc and is greatly improved over the earlier ones.

Good luck

Pete
