Sat nav system

[tony withnall]

I have just acquired a Lexus NX300h Takumi model.( October 1st) I am trying to determine if it has the very latest sat nav system - any ideas how to check this out?

Also i have noticed on the Forum that there are quite a few references to new models of the NX coming with a 3year free update of the sat Nav system. - I must check this with Lexus derby.

Also does anyone have experience in using3D Buildings and landmarks - I have ticked the box in the set up.

Thanks

I haven't an answer to your questions I'm afraid, but as a new F Sport Takumi pack owner, I'm interested to know if you find out 👍😁

Menu----Set-up--Nav.

Derby do not offer the Service but let me know if they have changed their mind !

Latest version is 2019 v1

new version probably due in November.

Mine, also Oct 1st simply says this, I haven't a clue what it means.

I am awaiting a response from Lexus Derby as to what version is fitted to my vehicle - suspect it may be 2019v1 but no doubt will find out. Another member told me latest version is issued November time so about due.

Try checking the version at different times. I find that sometimes my system displays the nice name (2019 v1) and other times it displays the internal code number (like A36). 
I did have a list somewhere that gave the code number for each different version but I can’t find it.

Thanks very much for getting back to me.Looks like you have been with Lexus for some time.

I will take another look this afternoon. Do you have any comment on my relating to Route trace and 3D landmarks and buildings?

Although I have 3d checked I have never had it activate. If it similar to Audi which I suspect the 3d only activated in major cities. E.g. Liverpool, Manchester etc.

No 3D everywhere but no for me

do you mean 3D Buildings and landmarks or are you referring to the general Map presentation?

I don't see how you can activate it.Consensus at the moment is that it comes on automatically  as you enter major cities - find it hard to believe and the manual makes no reference to this area.

On the software update screen I'm seeing a great deal of information but nothing simple like 2019v1 - however there is reference to A36_4.

Going in to Lexus Derby tomorrow and they will hook up to the computer to determine how updated the system really is - or so I'm told.

From my (limited) research, I think version A36 is '2018 v2' (also known as 928)

The code name for '2019 v1' looks like it will be A4D or 929

 

I get some 3D buildings, but only in major city centres.
