Hi everyone,
I now have destination input while in motion even with the DVD version 1!
I just wanted to share some info on the newly released Nav maps that allow the imput while in motion.
I live in Italy and have a RX 400h purchased new in March 2008.
I was very interested in the possibility to input while driving, not only destinations but also Mp3 folder browsing and phone dialing.
After searching here and other sites on the internet, phoning Lexus and a couple of dealer I was not able to have sure answers on what exactly the new maps were allowing. So I was lucky enough to find a very helpful dealer that let me try the dvd in my car for a test. He swapped the central Europe Map DVD in the reader with the new release the answer is:
ONLY the destination input was allowed, NO phone or audio input.
But here comes the amazing part: after reinserting the original dvd in the reader in the trunk I STILL HAVE THE POSSIBILITY TO INPUT DESTINATION IN MOTION! And this was 3 days ago so I used the car normally in this period and still am able to use the option!
My suggestion to all those interested is to go out and try, as I don't think this is limited to Italy or just a lucky fact: I think the recent DVD changed something in software and now is permanent!
Alex
