Howto: Change Your Maps Dvd

[Aircon]

Was at Lexus today having some work done to my brakes and I asked about the availability of Maps V16.

Still not available but they have dropped the price of V15 from $399 to $325.

Dont mind paying for a service, but $325 for an upgrade is highway robbery.

thanks for the update.

If someone has V16 original DVD, can't you just make a copy?

It hasn't been released. Trick is - all new Lexus cars come with it but the separate $396 AUD version of it will be released within next few weeks so yes - if you own a new Lexus you will have the V16 in it.

Nothing to panic about. Give or take few weeks and it will be available for separate sale. Its not like it will take 6-12 months etc. :)

spoke to a lexus tech a few weeks ago, he said the latest version doesnt even have the clem 7 tunnel or new gateway bridge mapped in as yet and would be best to wait till the end of this year for the next version to come out. Thats for those guys who are from brisbane.

Just got it. it STILL doesn't have all the westgate upgrades, which makes me wonder what else it doesn't have.

ive successfully got it, just need t try it now...

will install it tomorrow, at least this ISO file works this time... thanks

[col]

Yes, so it all works fine... (thank you very much for your help)

At first I used a dvd-r and the screen just said invalid disc...

So i burnt it again to a DVD+R and see worked in no time at all (about 30 seconds)...

Also updated the LC200 Sahara while I was at it...

I am a bit disapointed my street is still not on V16, its been here for over a year now...

Oh well guess ill have to wait for V17 before I can use the "home" button :P

hm..

i cant seem to get that stupid cover off

any tips?

[Atlantis]

My tip is, don't snap the tool like I did :(

Once you shove them both in, just work it out gently by rocking side to side.

I did the same, and the snapped end put a large scratch on the panel.. I've ordered some plastic polish to try and buff it out :-/

[Atlantis]

Damn, that sucks... I guess the tools aren't as strong as they could be. Fortunately it looks like a decent toothpick or thin screwdriver would still do the trick.

Yeah, but it's only on the clock panel, not the rest of the fascia, thankfully!

Worst case scenario, I buy a new clock panel... I'm a little fussy like that
