Used navagation dvd

[Nerle]

I just bought a used 2001 LS430 and would like to upgrade the navagation
dvd.
I have been told by Lexus parts and Sevice Advisor that a updated "USED" dvd
will not work. It has to be new. I see a lot of used one on sale on eBay.
Will they work,
or is Lexus correct? If someone out there has bought a used one and made it
work, I
sure would like to hear from them. Thanks

A used one will work, but you need to get the updated disk
that was meant for your 2001 vehicle, which I don't know
which generation is in that year vehicle.

I have a 2001 LS as well and updated my DVD via ebay. In fact, the
one I have now in my system is a backup copy of the original, so yes
you can certainly use a "used" one. Your system will know no
difference.

However, as Bob mentioned above, you MUST get the right generation
of DVD (GEN2 or GEN3). The newer generation DVD's (for vehicles
manufactured after 2001), will NOT work on our DVD units.

Nerle, you will need the following DVD to update to the latest
version:
