Can I play DVD movies with my navigation system?

Yes, newer Lexus models and Lexus vehicles with GEN7, GEN8 and GEN9 navigation systems do have the ability to play DVD movies while the vehicle is in stationary mode.  For your safety, the DVD movie cannot be viewed while the vehicle is in motion.  Also, you may need to have the Parking Brake engaged in order for the DVD to play.

Does installation of a navigation update change the way my navigation display looks or operates?

No, the navigation updates only update the map and POI (Points of Interest) information.
