Satnav Disc - How Important Are The Numbers?

[PCM]

Can anyone help please...

Although I tend to use my phone as a satnav, I would update my system if the discs were cheap ( used/ebay? ).

I have an RX300 and I know it's generation one. the numbers on my DVD are the 08664 are; 24121 and 70V311A

Q. Do I simply find a newer 'generation 1' DVD, or is it more involved than that? I see various used Gen.1 DVD's on eBay ...

What I did was to get the disc out of my sat nav and go onto Lexus-mapupdates.eu and put in the numbers from your present disc, and the site will tell you what is available, how recent it is, and what it will cost. The reason that I suggested that you had your disc with you is that there are several numbers on my disc and I entered the wrong one until I clicked on the help feature and it showed me the position on the disc of the required number.

Once you have completed the check on Lexus-mapupdates.eu you should have confirmation of your sat nav generation and the part number of the latest available disc.

Having just updated my discs I have a set of 4 2007/2008 discs complete with the manual which would be available very cheap if they were of any interest to anyone, but as mine is a Gen 5 sat nav I suspect that they would not fit yours.

Cheers

Roger.

Thank you.

On that website (Lexus-mapupdates.eu) I try my Generation 1 and either 24121 and 70V311A but neither give anything ... no results.

Is it me?!

( I'll check again )

I have 86271 70V311A ...

Would any of these fit? 86271-60W370B, 86271-60V660J, 86271-60W30, 86271-60A210 ?

When I went on Lexus-mapupdates.eu I entered the number from my disc and it did not recognise it, so I clicked the help button and it brought up a picture of the numbers on the disc, needless to say I was using the wrong number, I entered the correct number and disc was recognised and the recommendation for the uypdated replacement came up.

Hope that this helps.

86271 - 24121 works on the website and returns the following as the latest disc:

Thank you.

For the UK I found these;

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Toyota-Lexus-Navigation-DVD-E04-CENTRAL-EUROPE-/191596286596?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_205&hash=item2c9c075284

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Toyota-Lexus-Navigation-DVD-E04-NORTH-EUROPE-/191596286885?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_205&hash=item2c9c0753a5

Though neither look like they include detailed UK info.

I'll keep looking.

You need to find somebody in Europe who has purchased the disc set, kept the central Europe disc for themselves and therefore are willing to sell just the UK disc. That is why you find cheap UK discs on eBay.
