Think you have to go to the dealer, you can't use the whereis disc maps with the HDD system.

Whereis V20 can now be downloaded, but requires DVD-R DL (double layer) disks - the ISO file size is just a little too big for the standard disk (4.7GB). The GPS took a bit longer to verfiy the DVD but worked fine first time (on 2010 IS250 SL) - should probably work the same on most models.

For those in Sydney I've got a stack of DVD+R DL discs that worked fine for me.

As a side note, I got too excited this time around and broke one of the tools to undo the clips...it was not a fun day.

I updated my maps effortlessly to V20 from V17 on my 2010 IS250 after locating where the two picks were :)

As the ISO was too large to fit onto a SL DVD, I had to remove the file LOADING.KWI from the ISO, recompile it using PowerISO, and then burn it onto a DVD+R SL at slower speeds (x4). The DVD worked first time I popped it in.

Is there anyway I can purchase a copy from you since I know nothing about these DVD stuff, tks

Same here....

Come to think of it, if there's someone in Melbourne that could help me swap out the disc?

I've tried what you suggested and followed all the steps, Gshyoung - but didn't use PowererISO - have used a freebie JihoSoft ISO Maker - the resulting ISO is only 2.08Gb - while the original ISO was 4.68Gb - seems a bit weird. Since I don't know how to compare the maps of one version against another, not sure what to do next!!:-(

RustyJarz and Wind Chaser, swapping information about pirated Maps is not permitted on this Forum, so can't help you, I'm afraid. Sorry.

Only issue i had was to burn the dvd in 2x speed to get it running. but i used a mac to burn.

If you're buying the Dual Layer DVDs, they come in + only, AFAIK.

- is fine for standard DVDs.

Im down with getting the latest maps too...

yeah me too...

I do have a suggestion and that is if we all chipped in to buy the official Maps DVD and then 'back it up'. Obviously a trust based system is needed.

Yeh id be happy with that.

Im unable to do the backup as im pretty useless with computers lol

Uhhh....I got the Whereis V20 ISO file. Haven't burnt it to a disc yet to test. Mainly since I don't have the tools yet to eject the drive bay cover.

 

Apparently the tool picks are already located in the car somewhere?

To be honest the Lexus Navigation system and route guidance is quite horrible.

Not sure the updated maps would solve much.

I'd +1 on that!

Still would like an update (I already have v20)

In the tool kit in the boot.

 

If you get it to work ill pay you for a copy?

Well I found the tools. Got the panel open real easy. Didn't even have to pry it open :)

If Plankton can source one for members that'd be great.

However, I'll burn a few copies and test the copy I have just in case others want it.

I do agree, it does feel clunky. I've tried the 3rd Gen IS and the feel of the joystick is very figgity as well IMO.
