Lexus should just make the map free to download instead of making money on them since using GPS been free ever since its inception.

[@netman88]

Lexus doesn't make the maps. There's lots of effort to make the maps. If everyone starts working for free and companies doesn't make money (non-profit).

[@rezafaraji8855]

I have a 2019 RX and installed after market carplay module for less than $300. Definitely worth it. Lexus original navigation is like a black/white TV while everyone using a LED TV.

[@netman88]

There are tons of aftermarket ones. Lexus can void the electrical warranty if done wrong.

[@keronsingh1]

Where did you get the aftermarket flash?

[@joseph12566]

Which after market CarPlay module did you use? I have the 2016 RX and would love to upgrade to Apple car play because the Lexus system is basically useless.

[@portuguese1985able]

It's not an easy install look it up

@@joseph12566check out Beat Sonic or Nifty City. I have the Nifty City CarPlay installed in my 2019 GS350. No issues.

[@budcourtney4006]

I'm wondering where you purchased your map upgrade. Per the Lexus website, the very latest is dated 2018! If you did get it from a dealer, please let me know exactly which dealer you used! FYI, I have a 2019 RX-450h. I'm frustrated that I can't seem to locate map data newer than originally installed. My 2011 Edge has annual updates (I usually only get one every 2nd or 3rd year). Thanks for any help!

[@netman88]

yw, I purchased it at the Lexus dealer. Best to have the VIN#, year and model. You can try Bell Lexus. They can get the part # and price for your vehicle.

Tenho um Lexus rx350 2016 Pioneer que não aparece imagem. Pode ser SD card interno?

Good man... Please show us a solution to update navigation maps on 2010 RX350. Thank you for sharing.

[@glutenfreerecipe]

I stuck in the 2023 update mini SS card at least 10 minutes ago and it has done nothing. After I installed it I hit the start button twice as you instructed. Any help would be appreciated.

[@glutenfreerecipe]

I had to go to map data in the navigation settings and it said to insert my new SS at any time. It showed my new version’s date already.

[@netman88]

Is that card for this vehicle? Did you shut off vehicle and turn back on?

[@drizzle824]

I bought my wife a 2019 rx350. There was no sd card and the previous owner took the card when sold to Carmax. What do I need to do to get her GPS working in her car?

[@netman88]

Yeah if vehicle is equipped with gps, get one from a lexus dealer parts department.

[@drizzle824]

@netman88 is it going to cost me a arm and leg to get one?

[@Esteban_Herrera]

Complain to CarMax. Everything on your car should work. I made complaints to them about Shocks, Bumper Trim, Missing Plastic Fasteners and a odor in the carpet. They fixed it all free. Have to stand your ground.

[@drizzle824]

They ordered me a new one for free

[@michellemyers6960]

What does it actually update? Half the time the system doesn't understand me. It's built very poorly. Unfortunately no simple way of getting android auto on this unit. So frustrating.

[@netman88]

Just updates the GPS maps with newer maps. The other parts, talk to your dealer.

[@Esteban_Herrera]

Not that I would ever find a used card in a junked car, but would a used card from a junkyard work? I assume not since I don't see used ones for sale.

[@netman88]

Nope, buy a new one from Lexus for the latest maps. Junkyard ones maybe outdated also.

[@Esteban_Herrera]

@@netman88 Thanks for the reply. Your answer included information I didn't ask. Forget the old map new map thing, that's a given. Lets say I just updated my map and totaled my 2017 RX550. If I pull out the SD card and bought another 2017 RX350 that needed a map update. Will this SD card update my replacement 2017 RX350?

[@justmejo9008]

I heard if paired with your phone there is a way to display your phones map screen. Anyone hear or know this.

[@netman88]

Well, first the vehicle has to have support for that technology. If you have Apple iPhone you have to have carplay to see the maps from the phone. If it's Android Auto, you will need a an android phone. I don't think I saw screen mirroring for the Lexus/Toyota vehicles as an option. Some vehicle may allow you to buy a dongle to setup carplay/android auto but your vehicle would have to support it. I have been researching for a solution for our 2019 RX also but not finding anything.

[@jeanelderbordes]

They asked me $400 for one at Lexus Kendall for a 2019 Lexus RX 450h F Sport that I just bought. The salesman I bought it from told me to go to service because he didn't know. Next, he told that I had a 2 year-bumper-to-bumper-warranty that covers it. The same manager told me to use my phone. I asked him why would I do that. It is safer to use the navigation system of the car instead that of my phone. Iwill ask to speak to the manager when I go back to pick up the car.
