I want to install an updated navigation disk. Where is the navigation drive located on a 2005 ls430?

Replying to: junkittwo (Jun 10, 2009 1:16 pm) You will have to remove two 10 mm bolts to tilt the unit up and eject the old disc to replace it with the new one. Do this while the car is off of course, and don't drop the bolts in any crevices around the unit. |

I just bought a 2003 Lexus LS430 (in near-showroom condition, with only 23K miles). It's a great car, but the nav data is the original 2003 information. I've seen plenty of update DVDs available online. However, I'd like to make sure a new version will work on this 6-year-old car. Can anybody give any guidance? My current DVD is version 2.1. Will this DVD work? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=260446208662&viewi- tem=&_trkparms=tab%3DWatching&salenotsupported#ht_500wt_1136 Thanks, Rodney

Replying to: rodneyr (Jul 16, 2009 11:19 am) The disc drive is under a panel under the passnger side of the trunk floor. Once the panel is removed, you will have to remove two 10 mm bolts to tilt the drive up, and then eject the disc manually. Put the new disc in and wait for the system to boot up before buttoning everything back down again. Hint: Don't drop the bolts when removing them, as retreival may a be quite a pain.

Ok, after reading several posts here I'm confused. I just bought my mother the 2010 navigation CD upgrade for her 2003 LS430. I thought it would make a nice birthday present even though it financially set me back. My question is how to install it (of course, it doesn't come with instructions), currently it has the original 2003 navigation CD loaded. I don't know if I need to use the override button first, if I have to dive into the trunk in order to swap out the CD's... or both! I assume that once the system reads the new CD it must stay in the car in order for it to work. Can someone please help me as I really don't want to pay 1/2 hour of labor which is what all the dealers want to charge. I thought it was pretty steep buying the upgrade version ($180+tx) just to be hit with a $62+ labor fee on top of the CD. I found it strange how every dealer wants to make more than the other as each price is significantly different! Thanks for any help you may be able to send my way. Rose
