In this video, I'll show you how I upgraded the Lexus ES350 Navigation maps. I didn't see any good videos out there on this subject so I thought I share what I learned.
I make no guarantees about this video, please research before using the information.
1) This video will demo the 2012 to 2018 Lexus ES350 but this works for the GS350 as well.
I did the same update on the 2016 Lexus GS350 (thought the menu was different a bit).
For the Gen08 radio for the 2012-2018 ES350, you'll need to buy the 2020 update and it will feature the 2019 map version. Per Lexus dealer, the maps sold in 2020 will be 2019 completed maps that's how it works. Part # PT219-GEN08-19 for the 2020 calendar year.
The GS350 uses PT219-GEN09-19. Note that the last 2 digits as in "19" are the map version. It's always 1 year lagging for the calendar year.
The update for 2022 will use 2021 maps.
PT219-GEN09-21 (PT219GEN0821)
For vehicle models:
ES350/300h 2018
GS350/450h 2016-2020
LS460/600hl 2016-2017
LX570 2016-2019
2) Before upgrading the maps, you will need to buy the MicroSD map from a Lexus dealer. The MSRP is $210 + tax.
3) *DO NOT POWER ON* the vehicle when you are removing or installing the MicroSD.
4) Also before performing any update, park your car in a safe place before starting the update. It will take around 20 minutes total to complete based on my experience.
5) VERY IMPORTANT STEPS:
DO NOT TURN OFF the vehicle while it's updating or it will damage the vehicle NAVI System.
Wait for everything to finish before turning off the vehicle.
** SPECIAL NOTES**
If you are not sure, please spend the money for the Lexus/Toyota dealer to install the Navi maps. It will be much cheaper than buying a new GPS system which will be very expensive if you are not able to follow these directions.
