Ls430 Dvd Map Update Help

[Maduggo]

Hiya folks

I have got myself a 53 plate LS430 62K miles in Bronze (more like gold to me but lexus say it's bronze) for £4.5k, full history apart from this year, now completed in good order.

Draws a lot of attention in our staff car park, damn it's a fine car.

Paint job done to a small area around the nearside front wing where it meets the front bumper under the headlight, cost £120 by chipsaway, looks stunning now, wish i took a photo before and after.

Only issue it does have is the DVD satnav, it has a disc in the unit and it runs ok, but i wish to update it to the current latest DVD map.

Lexus dealer in Nottm quoted over £180 including fitting, i'm sure i can get it cheaper from elsewhere but they did not give me a part number to work with.

The disc i have has DVD Navigation Map Europe, Ver 1st 2001, 86271-24120, 86271-70V310A printed on the front.

I've been told i can get an update dvd online for £40 but it's a copy, sorry but i would rather spend the extra for genuine Lexus parts

So the question is....

What is the part number or version number i need for the latest DVD to work in my car

Will it update the firmware (not technically minded but i assume this is what drives the DVD unit)

Any info would be greatly appreciated

Ta muchly

Hello,

Look at www.Lexus Mapupdates currently listing the 2011 version at 114.88 euros + p&p. Delivery 5 days.

I think they usually update around feb each year so 2012 is out early 2013.

you can also try eBay, people sell their old discs when they update so as long as you are happy with being one revision out of date it's a cheap way to get new discs. You do need to be very careful though, there are many different nav systems used across the Lexus range which are incompatible with each other.

The disc will update the nav firmware automatically if needed.

Lovely car but it looks like Amberley Gold colour to me. Mine is Nazcan bronze and much darker.
