The subscription is free for the first three years of ownership, and it can be easily renewed. The price for a two-year subscription is $169, and the system will continue to automatically update via the cloud as long as your subscription remains current.

To update the navigation system, you typically need to visit a Lexus dealership. The dealership will order the software and install it for you. Each map update is protected and cannot be copied or downloaded. The cost of the update is $169.
Please note that Lexus Navigation is not available as an aftermarket accessory and must be installed at the factory.
