Firmware

[bluenose1940]

Hello folks, I've been on the Portal this morning to see if there has been any updates to the firmware since I last did mine but, I couldn't even find anything relating to it.

My firmware appears to be VD12103A  Does anyone know if this is the latest please.

Many thanks.

I Believe it is not seen any newer updates

Geoff:  My new RC (see my post of today) has this version.  The car was produced in Japan in June and delivered to 

Europe in September, so I assume it was fitted with the latest version.  Another clue that it is up to date is the presence

on the satnav maps of speed-cameras that I know for a fact were not there until early this year.

Thank you Phil and Rabbers.

you normally get it done on services at Lexus(although there is a link on the forum for you to do this yourself which I did  its really easy) it is just the operating system update fixing bugs and improvements.It is not a sat nav update this is available on the Lexus portal but lexus charge £££ for this.

I just bought the latest micro Sd card from the eBay seller mentioned on this forum. The serial number ends in OL. 

Cost was£70 including registered postal delivery from Ireland.  Works fine.

That is the latest map update released in Sept/Oct 2016. 

Was planning on getting it myself.

I updated my firmware last week to VD12103A however I'm still having issues with receiving premium traffic via wifi tethering so went on to the Lexus phone compatibility checker and it listed VD12103B as the latest available software version so it does appear there is a recent update, it's just a matter of finding the matching bulletin number and following your procedure detailed here, any chance you've got access to this?

I've just a look around the Lexus tech website and I can't see any reference to the firmware version you mention or a corresponding bulletin ID.  The latest bulletin published for the IS300h appears to be for the non-premium media system.

Hmm bit of a mystery then, here's what it showed me:

Just a little update, ordered the micro sd card maps off eBay as mentioned elsewhere including above and it also updated my firmware to VD12103B, result!

[pobrown]

Had a feeling it would be on the latest card - wonder why they haven't put it online yet.

Which seller is that one?

Thanks,

That all sounds good but I am wondering if this sellers SD card will work in my NX300h.

If anyone has made use of one for their NX, I would be interested to hear how it went.

If you have the Premium Nav with the remote touch controller then yes.  The latest version available is PZ445-US335-0P.  It will be replaced soon (normally Oct/Nov).  Search for this part number on eBay and you should find a number of sellers.

If you have the Standard Nav with the rotary controller then no.

[bluenose1940]

Thank you for that Phil, sadly mine is the standard jobby.
