2010-2018 Lexus GX460 Navigation software update and Map Coverage
youtube.com
I received this honorable mention from Audreyappliance:
This upgrade only applies to 14-21 models…. ’22+ might have similar upgrade but haven’t confirmed
The old 10-13 models have a convoluted method since they have a hard drive in them. They are upgraded via a Firewire 800 port near the accelerator pedal and require a one time use key on a USB stick that goes into the Techstream laptop. It’s basically dealer only. Only time I’ve seen them home upgraded was in Eurasian markets where someone was selling cloned hard drives to swap into the nav unit.
I’ve run across a few users who were confused about it since they purchased the USB thumb drive and couldn’t figure out how to load it on their 10-13 model.
Thanks! :-)

Another lesson learned from the GX professor Bob.
Thanks Jerry. This calls for a beer. Guinness anyone?
If anyone sees this, the 14-23 uses the same card and the part number is PT219-Gen08-23 for the latest maps as of today.
Thank you for the input!
@@GXBOB Anything for you my friend, you're the animated version of the book, Lexus should be paying you to design the onboard book in the 24.. imo anyway.. thanks for what you do..
Bob... with another Excellent vid. Best GX channel on the tube. Love my GX.
Thanks Gipstetz. Much appreciated.
@@GXBOB Seconded! and I don't mind the occasional product pitch like Mobile1 on the rear bumper or Harbor Freight ref's. I hope to meet you one of these days and if you come out with a product to support the channel (coffee mug, calendar, etc), I would totally buy one
@@MikeLikesComputers You forgot to mention the Gorilla 2000 penis pump in my powersteering flush video. If you can prove that you actually went out and bought that, i will definitely meet you up to test it out.
Newer to your channel, we are picking up our 2018 Premium with Support Design Package in 2 days. Looks like the one and only recall is inaccurate GPS location. It's supposedly a software issue. Thanks for the channel and education!
Anytime Jeff. I’m in here practically every day to help if i can. If i can’t, I’ll try to point you in the right direction.
Thank you for this, mine has this issue..

Hi again your video was very informative. Unfortunately I would need the one for the 2010 gx460 and was told that it has to be installed at a dealer because it has to hooked up to their laptop.
No it doesn't. If you look at the body of my description, it lists your year as using a USB drive (in which you have). You can hook it up to your own laptop using a usb cable and download toyota's techstream software. The thing with the software is that it is useful for other applications also, not just for navi updates. There are quite a number of tips and tricks if you go on clublexus.com for techstream suggestions.
@@GXBOB Are you sure about this tech stream software being needed to update the USB NAV? It has buttons in the GUI that are for updating the NAV. Mine just keeps says "device connection error" when I plug the USB in to the port and press update.
I was told the dealer had to do it also for the 2010. I am going to the parts desk and just going to ask for the part. The parts guys are pretty cool.
you can or you can do it yourself with the techstream software and a laptop. If the dealer is charging u for the usb w/ free labor then hell, i'd go for the dealer. But the last time i checked the dealership, nothing was directly free.
I'm here for the that's what she said joke. Informative video too.
Yeah...so....Erin....i decided jokes towards women were just degrading and i felt a need to start straying from them since my run in with God in my sleep the other night. My current jokes are more geared towards ethnic groups now.
Can you update the software with tech stream on a 2014 GX460?
I think San Juan is porto rico.
LOL. Yeah. I had a brain fart.
You must have a different model than I have. Mine is a base model and doesn’t have an sd card slot
@@daviddenham7919 look below the video in the description. I laid out the year and type it requires.
Hi Bob. I have a 2107 gx, it doesn’t have ssd card, so the navigation system doesn’t work. Question is, where can I get a ssd card that cover south America maps? I.e. Bolivia. Thanks for your support
Wait a minute.......how in the hell were you able to get a 2107 when the 2025 hasn't been released yet???

Winston is walking on eggshells.
Hello Bob. Thanks for the helpful videos. I've learned so much about my car. I was wondering if you would know what happen if your navigation screen wouldn't turn on? Is there something I can do or take it to the dealer? Please help
If you go thru my comments on this thread you’ll see some steps to reset your navigation system. Another person requested the same.
@@GXBOB I looked through all 111 comments and did a keyword search, i found nothing. what did i miss? I have a infotainment system with a blank screen and was hoping i could reprogram it back to life through the SD card interface.
Hi. How are you .
I have a question about the gx 460.
I have a 2012 gx460 and I have try to upgrade the front to 2019 .
I bought all the bumper and the fog and grill with headlight.
The only problem I have now is that when I was about to put the 2019 headlight the connector wire from the 2012 headlight does not fit the 2019 headlight the 2012 as like 6 hole mouth pin which the new headlight for 2019 as 4 hole mouth pin . I don't know if there is any adaptor that can connect the wire from my 2012 headlight to the new lighting. Pls I need your help.
Also all the fog light switches are also different. What should I do.
Hello Alao! Did you know that there is an entire forum that discusses the exact same issue you're having? I"m sure there are plenty of people in there that can guide you in the right direction since i didn''t do that mod myself i'm not able to give u a good answer. Here is the link:

Hi everyone and Bob
Should my dads 2017 lexus gx 460 should have come with an s.d. card ? He has the black screen.. reverse camera works but nothing else ...thanks for your help all
your 2017 should have a SD card installed already. If not, the previous owner took it with him.
Probably not a good Idea to pick up one of $35 ones on Amazon?
Dude, i wouldn't disregard the ones from Amazon. They are refundable if they don't satisfy your needs. I love Amazon.
@@GXBOB I love Amazon too but going through the hassle for something that doesn't work (this time) is not worth it.
Hi bob , my gx 2011 radio a program can’t be read plz consult a dealer , can you help me what should i do ?
Your radio is over 10 years old. Have you considered replacing it? There are plenty used ones online for pretty cheap.
What model year is your Lexus GX460 in this video? Thanks
2017
@@jfiocca1999 Yep 2017 .
@bob, try grom audio.
I knew there was a back alley to all of this! I love when i dont' have to resort to the dealership.
I have a 2013 and mine does not have that section below the volume dial. Can anyone verify, or tell me why he's saying it for 2010 to 2018.
If you hit the title of the video, it drops down the description page to cover all years and what’s required.
Bob that’s San Juan, Puerto Rico.
Dude....I"m a friggin idiot.
Puerto Rico is a USA Territory, we have USA citizenship since 1918, we are located in the Caribbean
@@vimejiasve Are you suuuuuuuuure.
Are you familiar with the Maya Millete case? She has been missing for over two years and her husband Larry Millete drove a Lexus GX460 and turned off his GPS system and drove approx 2 hours from his home. They claim they are unable to track his location due to Larry deactivating it.
Is there anyway to go around that?
It seems like that would be a feature the FBI should be able to access whether the user turns it off or not.
dood....you got me googling this shit.
Can you recommend a Lexus dealer that will sell an updated micro SD card for my 2014 GX I reached out to a few no response or they don’t even know what I am looking for ? Thank you
That’s because the smart phone has taken over and made this obsolete.
Hi Bob , i have lexus gx 460 2014.
I just purchased sd card from lexus dealer. I insert in the new sd card in but it doesn’t seem it updated . I try to navigate a street near my house but it cant find the address.what can i do ?
Insert the SD card while the vehicle is powered off. Then turn on vehicle. Wait for the onscreen directions to load. But very important to start off in the "engine off" mode first.
I have a 2012 GX460. So, basically, do I have to go to the dealership for the update?
Click on your model and year in the link i provided.
Hey Bob.. I got a 2016 lexus GX460.... the nav screen goes out from time to time in which I can't operate the climate controls or play the radio. Stays off for a few days then comes back on. this happens a lot. It's now winter here and I need that defroster to work and I can"t access it, getting to be a dangerous situation. Any ideas on what it is and how to fix? any help would be appreciated. thank you.
I’m willing to bet the previous owner removed and reinstalled the radio navigation console for whatever reason. God knows I’ve done it a million times. One of the plugs in the back is loose and wasn’t pushed in all the way.
Unfortunately not the case. We are the only owners and nothing like that was done.
;(
Hi Bob. I have a 2016 gx460. My screen is telling me it can,t read the disc. I thought that my navigation just needed to be updated or something so I took it to the dealership. They told me that the radio needs to be changed but sometimes the screen does work. What u think it is?
It’s because your disc is the incorrect format. Try other discs such as mp3, mp4, wav, region 1, etc…
Hi Bob, how do you disable the TPM of the 2011 Lexus GX460?
This only works on the GX460 and not the 470. Behind the rear quarter panel trim on the driver side is the TPMS sensor unit. There's a plug with a bunch of wires going into the unit. Unplug it and jump the yellow and pink wires together without cutting the wires. I can put this tutorial together but it'll have to wait a bit. I have a lot of requests of other How-to's do do first.
@@GXBOB thanks a lot!!!
Hi Bob, thanks for the video. Any ideas for how to get a stuck SD card out? I accidentally inserted the card with the label side the wrong way and now it is stuck. Thanks so much
Invest in some manicure tools such as tweezers. Other than that you might try taking the radio out and disassemble it. I have videos in removing the console and it’s not that difficult to do.
@@GXBOB Thanks. I tried with tweezers, tape etc. but without any luck. Looked at your video of removing the console but it looks like the SD card box is so tightly integrated into the the metal encasing that it will be tricky to get out. Not sure what to do at this point...
Bought a 2010 ES 350 and am wondering how to update the maps. I do have techstream, but having a hard time finding what else I need to update the navigation data. Seems like there may be a kit or USB cable needed, along with the map data discs to load into the PC? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Bob, your best bet is to get on the Lexus ES forums. Even though some of the platforms are standardized across each model Lexus's, i can not confirm or deny its correct application since its not a Lexus GX to which i have more experience on.
@@GXBOB Ok, will do. Thanks for the quick response.
Cool
I got a friend with the same name. I keep calling him Marco without the S at the end. He swears you're supposed to pronounce the S.
2010 gx. Will this update make it to where my unit will now be dvd capable?
Hey Jack, i don't know if u noticed but in my other video, i played a dvd without having to update anything.

Thank you 🙏
This video does not cover Lexus GX from 2010-2013. My 2011 GX does not have an SD port. It has a USB port and a different side button layout. It is updated with a USB stick. I have tried updating mine and it says device connection error. I am searching for solutions and found this video. My search continues! But I would update your title. This video does not cover the early GX460s that have USB. *I do see you have the part number for the USB version in the description.
Hey Thomas. Click on the title and a dropdown will appear with an update to the installation for pre-2014 GX460's.
@@GXBOB I see you updated the title. That will be helpful for future people to avoid the mess I am in. The local dealership refuses to help me because I ordered it "off the internet" even though I ordered the part from another Lexus dealership.
Just get a Apple CarPlay for this car. Cheaper in the long run. Map updates every few months
I just use my cellphone.
My 2013 doesn't have that slot there any idea where else it would be located?
Your 2013 is usb. I believe you use the same USB slot you typically use for your cellphone charger. Then you go to your auxillary input options on your nav screen.
@@GXBOB I assume parts are the same? Just USB format is all
I might visit my Lexus dealership for a map update, do you know how much they cost? If it's truly $219 not interested.
I mean.....nobody really uses the navi with all the stuff cellphones can do nowadays. My Nexar dashcam even has a navigation app built into it that mirrors onto my phone. I really can't stand the Lexus one.
$100 ? f them
thank God for G maps
LOL. You can't cuss on TH-cam....its not allowed.
I was thinking this video it is going to make you download the software to just update and save money. Idk why you are showing a video that you are promoting to go to the dealership.
Because for every comment that people make assuming the video is to download software but in reality sends them to the dealership, TH-cam sends me a paycheck.
Can the 2018 sd card be compatible for the 2015 Lexus GX460
I listed all the years and models in the description page
@@GXBOB much appreciated friend. My apologies
Hey man, how do you get weather updates ? I have a 2016.. and i live in Boise.
Have you tried Google?
@GXBOB I tried ChatGPT but it only knew the weather up to 2023.
I have a Lexus 2010 gx460 and I don't have that micro sd slot or I can't find it. Is there another place it could be?
Nevermind you answered my question
Not sure how i answered but i'm assuming I covered it in the commentary or video description page. Hope it helped!
My 2013 had a Navigation DVD that was under the passenger seat.
Can I change American maps to the Arabian Gulf maps because the car is from America and live in the Arab Gulf and SD Maps of America؟
That's not the hard part (since its just a universal SD card application). The hard part is finding a dealer that uploaded an Arabian map for your navigation to recognize. I would visit a Lexus dealer somewhere in your region to find out.
@@GXBOB thank you
Can I get a copy of that micro SD?
I didn't even think about that Cheddar Bob! I'm sure we can come up with a fair trade like maybe a 1 hour back massage and foot rub.
@@GXBOB Haahaa!!!
@@GXBOB your local to me, when are we trading?

Mi camioneta no tiene esa puerta para la tarjeta micro sd y es 2012
si miras el cuerpo de mi descripción, dice que de 2010 a 2013 usa usb, no tarjeta micro sd.
Great video.
Thanks Ali !
This is not correct for a 2013 GX460.
Ronald, click on the title below the video. A drop down will give you the year and model and part number
The micro SD card that you get from Lexus, contains the map information. It is supposed to stay in the slot. Nothing more needs to be done. There are no updates or patches or rebooting needed. Just take out the one that is in there and put this one in and then turn on your vehicle and your nav will use updated maps. This video is completely wrong about the process of updating maps.
I also need this memory card, where can I find it?
The body of the description. Click on the title of the video and it should list what type of card you need. Usually dealership item for card and updates.
send me your email
Possible to share file , i can try copy to an SD card, will it work??
@@AhmadKhan-mh1jb do you have a copy I can get?
I have a 2010 GX460 Premium and I can’t find the SD slot.🤷🏻♂️
Thats because a 2010 uses a USB drive, not an SD slot. Click on the title below the video for more information.
