beecool Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 I brought my Lexus GS300 2006 from UK to NZ.The car came with a Sat Nav.I have approached Lexus New Zealand to buy a copy of NZ map but was told some other UK lexus had tried the Whereis map V6 but cannot read the data.The original disk in my car is DVD navigation map A Europe.It also states 2003-2005 Aisin AW Co Ltd,1993-2004 NAVTEQ,2005 Zenrin Europe BV,DvD Rom 86721-53030,86721-60V660J ,2005-2006 Ver1.The Nav system is Gen 03-TNS600. Can anyone please help in informing where to buy a DvD NZ map to fit this system or maybe modify the Sat Nav to read Whereis map supplied by Lexus NZ. Thank you and regards, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

E910 Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 There's two different disc, one for Lexus & one for Toyota. Both are V.6 They retail for over $500 so you'd be better of with a Garmin but then I can't see the point of a GPS in NZ. It's to small to need one IMO.

nice nige NZ Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 I brought my Lexus GS300 2006 from UK to NZ.The car came with a Sat Nav.I have approached Lexus New Zealand to buy a copy of NZ map but was told some other UK lexus had tried the Whereis map V6 but cannot read the data.The original disk in my car is DVD navigation map A Europe.It also states 2003-2005 Aisin AW Co Ltd,1993-2004 NAVTEQ,2005 Zenrin Europe BV,DvD Rom 86721-53030,86721-60V660J ,2005-2006 Ver1.The Nav system is Gen 03-TNS600. Can anyone please help in informing where to buy a DvD NZ map to fit this system or maybe modify the Sat Nav to read Whereis map supplied by Lexus NZ. Thank you and regards, Hi There, I have the same problem, I have imported a LS430 2005 from the UK and the sat nav system won't work. I have found out that the DVD player is not compatible with NZ and it needs a new unit, but I also am trying to find out if the new unit will work with the existing screen if I buy it! Lexus NZ and Lexus Aus are most unhelpful, just saying they don't deal with imported cars, and all I want is some info! Did you manage to sort yourself out in the end? If s, any hints or tips? I am going to get this fixed if its the last thing I do!!! Nigel Auckland NZ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
