Hello All,
New the Mud and a first time LC owner. I have been a 4Funner guy for a long time and always secretly wanted a Cruiser. Finally got a golden opportunity a few weeks ago and couldn't be happier, or could I?
Being located in Alaska, the nav system has left me a little let down. Nothing but a blank screen and a "you are here" icon in the center. I purchased the most recent v15.1 DVD, but still no Alaska maps. DVD system just doesn't have the capacity to be all inclusive.
I have now been pondering if there is any way to upgrade the system to either an HDD or SD based? The 2011 LC is a "Gen6" system that has DVD nav. A 2011 LX is also a "Gen6" but rather a HDD system. The most recent 15.1 maps for the Lexus system supposedly include Alaska maps. Would that system be compatible with the LC head unit?
Any other possibilities outside of sticking a Garmin to the windshield? Nav isn't big necessity in Alaska, there are only a few roads and I pretty much always know where I'm going, but we measure distance in hours not miles up here.
Thanks for any responses.
