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.

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