does anyone know where to get info on how to disassemble the dashboard (Nav and audio unit access)?

I've tried to get the service manual from my parts dept, but they said it will not be available for months...

My advise is to look at an earlier[2005-04-03] Removal instructions and that should/will bring you in the ballpark. I would post links but that is your job to find resoulotions, The internet is almost infinite, I do guarantee you will find the info you seek. Unfortunately some sites charge $$$.

(I haven't done this and wouldn't attempt it myself, but there it is, for what it's worth.)

That's the ticket...

It's eye wateringly simple. Definitley worth saving the $150 it would cost to have the iPod thing installed.

Thanks for the link.

I know it would be a large file but I would prefer the Factory Owner's Manual in one PDF. Is there any software to combine Adobe files?

One way is it use Adobe's pdf writer software that can create pdf files from just about any source. I assume you don't have this, hence the question. I have Adobe version 7 but not at my current location (2000 miles away from home with somebody's else's laptop). I will, once I get home, combine these individual files once I figure out the proper order, and figure out how to post them to this site. The 39 files total 7.86megs.
Don't know the size limit of files posted to this site..... I may have to post it on my MSN Group site and provide the link to it here.... unless someone else does it before I get to it...

That would be great, Stan. Thanks in advance.

Have fun with that new 400h when you pick it up. I really love mine.

The files are posted in the order one would find them in a paperback owners manual.

I opened up a few pdf files to check the contents in order to confirm the order to assemble the files. Assuming the file at the top of the web page is the first one, then the manual starts with section 3-2, Starting and Driving, pages 469 to 492. Hmmm, so I opened up files at the bottom of the list thinking the files were sorted bottom up. The last file, Seat, does not have a page number, but is a safety message to buckle up. So, the Adrian Monk in me says to go thru and open each file and see where it should go relative to eachother.
Page "Hybrid" is Basic Operations and contains pages 1 thru 15. Seems a good place to start. My manual is for my brand spanking new 2007 RX 400h that I just picked up this morning. Its quite different from the 2006 manual. So I will do the best I can to figure out how to assemble the files, unless the OP can provide me the sequence. I got a lot of time to read thru the 5# of manuals and books that Lexus provided. I'll begin on Saturday doing the best I can if I do not have the sequence from the OP.

They are posted in the exact order that they are listed on lexus.com.

I agree, Stan. The 2006 manual must be completely different from the 2007 I have.

Well, I did try to organize the files as best I could as the order they appear on the webpage starts with p 469 thru 624, then a Forward, some general info sheets, and pages 1-15 Basic Operation, well, you get the idea.
Included is a spreadsheet of file sequence.

I had to break the file up into 2 pcs as one file was too large for yahoo briefcase.

Nuts, Yahoo won't allow public access to briefcases w/o a paid subscription for storage space.

Lets see if this forum will take the files as attachments....

bump... DCFISH, are you still around?
