Drew, you have to go through the DVD menu on the touch screen.

I think it's behind "menu" or "info", then DVD and there should be a "eject" button.

BTW, when mine was in for maintenance I got a replacement and the 4-DVD box 2007-2008 was in the glove box. No need to say that I took all discs for a spin in my computer if you know what i mean ;-)

There were 4 discs: Europe North, Europe West, Europe East and a Lexus Maintenance (or was it Evaluation) disc.

that sounds good but would they work, are they not protected files, 2: is the update worth it, 3: do have copies! for backup, off course :shutit: :shutit: :shutit:

Can someone help pleas I can remove the clock hazard plate but how do you eject the dvd I cant see a button, or is ther an other way to eject it

Thanks

Heres the steps i've got from another thread: Little tricky to do though

1) find the "in car tools" in the trunk, in the tire jack kit which fits next to the spare. They are easy to miss.

2) use the rods to push back through the holes. Use lots of force.

3) this will loosen the clock display. then you'll need to jiggle it and pry it off.

4) then eject the old map dvd.

5) turn car off.

6) remove fuse #4 (TV.1 or something like that) from the fuse box right above the parking break pedal.

7) turn car on. (it'll complain in english and japanese that the dvd can't be read.)

8) insert new map dvd (in my case the patched 7.1 with 5.1 loading.kwi file). It will take a minute to load.

9) put clock cover back on, and you're done.

The hardest parts are: 1) finding the "in car tool" picks; 2) prying the clock display off; 3) prying the fuse out of the fuse box.

Remember, all your stored nav info will be lost when you do this - you're starting from scratch again.

You need to put the #4 fuse back in before you turn the car back on. Not that any of you wouldn't figure that out. Also found that a small pair of needle nose pliers worked best for pulling the fuse and then you can use just your hands to put it back in.

Oh and one more thing. Do NOT use a DVD with a self-applied label. It will heat up and start coming off and potentially ruining your NAV.

Good luck!

chears thanks for the info but Im stuck at point no 4

I believe it's located behind the panel that has the hazard light switch and time on it. There are two small pinholes on either side of that panel. There is a tool in the Lexus toolkit in the trunk that goes into these pinholes to open the cover and change the DVD.

ok I have managed to remove the clock hazard panel but can see no way to eject the dvds to find the ver no.

what about an is250 06plate I can remove the clock hazard part but can see no way to eject yhe dvd so I can update

hip hip its ok fokes I have managed to find out how remove it but Im wondering if its worth it

are you able to remove the dvd to obtain the ver No. without haveing to reinstal the dvd
