I think I will just change the oil on my 2002 LS430 with 130,000 miles on it. I won't drop the pan. Just a drain and fill.

Being in Louisiana, The only areas that were affected were New Orleans and the coastal parishes. The car is probably fine. We are in Lafayette, LA in Southwest LA. We had no Katrina or Rita flooding. Find the town the car was from. It may help you. The above poster mentioned why would anyone with a Lexus not evacuate when asked. We had a Mandatory evacuation order for all of New Orleans. Good luck! Dave V.

Does anyone have a PDF copy of the 45 page manuel to reset and or repair the VSC (Vechicle Skid Control)?????????? I heard there is a downloadable PDF from TIS (Tech Info System). Please email it to me at davidvar@bellsouth.net Thank you, David V. :(

Sounds as if there's no disc in the unit. If that's the case you should get a message 'no disc detected' and there's no maps etc. If that's the case, just try inserting the new disc. If it goes in then that was the answer...if there's already a disc in the unit, another disc won't go in.--Roger Silvey There is a disc in there that came with the car that I am using now, I just want to take the old one out and replace it with the new one I have. Just be sure the car key is on to get it to pop out. The unit needs power to open. Read the instructions at the top of this post again and be sure yoiu follow it exactly. It is very easy to change out the disk. Dave V.

It's possible. I can override the system while stopped then can use all the functions. Its tricky and every version has a different code. Read up on some of the old post. do a search for "override nav" My dvd override is press menu press dvd press the top left of screen press the bottm left of screen press the top left of screen press the bottom left of screen press the bottom right of screen a blue screen appears press and hold "override" for 5 seconds it changes colors press back go to map as usual you then have it overriden until you turn the car off.

B) Now I feel like a Man! OK, I'm 50. Still feelin' like a kid playing my drums on weekends. But, I am a busn. professional. I love my BRAND NEW 2002 LS430????? Well, brand new to me. It holds my complete drum set with room to spare (my wife). Really, I have always driven CARS. Not trucks. I enjoy luxury and gadgets. Dunno why? Lets ride with comfort! Dave
