You sure thats a DVD and not a CD?
"old man" quipped:
the navigation disk is a dual sided DVD.
The navigation is a HD. DVD did not become available until the re-design in 2001
I think you typo'd HD meaning CD which is what my 400LS 1998 has
I believe that the Navigation system in the 1998 LS 400 had a hard-drive (HD), not CD or DVD based.
My late 98 LS has a cd, I've updated it since owning, a friends 99/2000 LS also has a cd
Where is the CD drive located?
Boot, left side (looking to the front) under the mat, between wing and spare tyre well. Pull a lever and the unit swivels up and ejects the cd. I'm using a cd I burnt on the PC, origonal cd stored.
Ray, "oldman"'s CD drive is located in the glovebox. You can "update" the CDs by taking them out of the 6 disc cartridge and putting in new CDs. Then your music will be "updated". However, that's the only CD you can update in a 98 LS. You are correct (as was my spelling) in that the
98 LS has a HD (that's hard drive) based system.
Ah, now it's clear. United States spec cars are HD based. "oldman"'s use of the words "boot" and "tyre" must mean he's in the UK...and they don't even drive on the "right" side of the road :-)
But, to answer the original poster's question, even with a CD based system, you would not be able to upgrade to DVD; different generation=incompatible technology/electronics.

Not glovebox, boot / trunk Also shown in the Nav.manual as cd I have a 2004 cd as well as the origonal 98 cd
My 2000 LS has a 6 disc changer for audio CD's above the glove box, AFAIK, the navigation system is HD based.
No, we drive on the wrong right side of the road, excepting when we leave the pub, then we drive on the right wrong side of the road :)
