We are constantly faced with numerous misunderstanding issues with Middle East customers related to Toyota and Lexus vehicles imported from the United States, and the question is whether it's possible to change maps to the Middle East.
Well, we can definitely say that this is the one of the most complicated and pressing questions nowadays.
Unfortunately, today there are no official easy solutions to change navigation maps from the United States to the Middle East. Toyota and Lexus cars, especially for the US market, have a rather complex and secure system that doesn't support changing the map region.
The same is for other regions as well. This operation can only be performed by replacing the hardware and must be carried out by qualified specialists under service conditions. Moreover, this procedure is an unauthorized intervention and will void your manufacturer's warranty.

Hello. Unfortunately, there are no maps of Azerbaijan for Toyota/Lexus vehicles. You can install an Android-based navigation unit like NT3325 (replaces factory navigation unit) or RDL01 (preserves factory navigation unit).

Yes, you have a quick solution: to install the same system of the smaller Toyota’s car that uses Android/Apple. But you don’t want for some reasons so the top SUV of the biggest car factory in the world cannot use a nav syste!
You should consider to hire me to fix your “not easy to fix” issues.

Gigi, please note that:
1. ToyotaMAPS Online doesn't belong to Toyota, we are just a third-party service that sells map updates and vehicle equipment, and thus your request is actually at the wrong address.
2. We are considering developing a solution for using UAE maps in American models, but we can't yet say when this will be possible. We mainly work with European models.

Do you mean that I’m going to buy a Land Cruiser V8 VXR and I’ll not have a navigation system in Dubai? 330’000 dhs and I can’t use my navigation system? It’s better if you find a quick and good solution to this, ridiculous!

Hello,
If you're going to buy a Land Cruiser from the American market, then you won't be able to use maps of the Middle East. At least, officially. You will need to modify the system firmware in a third-party service, or replace the head unit. Currently we have no easy solution for that.

Hello,
If you have a European model, you need to install the extension unit first (HARMAN). Also you can consider buying an Android-based unit like NT3325 or RDL01, you can find them in our Equipment section.
