Dr.Gee Posted February 27, 2006 Author Share Posted February 27, 2006 http://us.lexusownersclub.com/forums/index...250&hl=Override :D Check this out it should help! thanks. Does "top left" mean touch the top left screen or a specific button on screen? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ADVocate Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 I was talking to a Lexus dealer and he was telling me there are some hacks you can input thru the nav touchscreen. ever hear of this? If you go into that service mode. Be very careful about what buttons you do press. There have been a few incidences of an incorrect button being executed, which requires the japanese version of the Nav disc to be inserted. And that means a trip to the dealer for a non-warranty service. Just an FYI Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LEXIRX330 Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 Method 1: Get into your sound menu press top left press bottom left press top left press bottom left I am not sure if you have to be in park but on the 2006 this should work! My boss has a 2006 just like yours and it works fine on his. Just touch corners and it will work keep trying...It took me a while to get it to work on mine! Good Luck!

stearnes3462642 Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 We have 2 - 2004 GX470's and to get into the "service mode" you need todo the following. Top Left Bottom Left Top Left Bottom Left Bottom Right This is done from the DVD information screen. It has to be done while stopped. After this is completed you can add a destination while moving!!!

We went to a meeting this Thursday and while he was driving on the highway I did Method 1 on his and override the system. The above method will not work on yours, make sure that you are going into the sound menu and at the corners just press as described in the other post. I hope it works for you because if you look at the 1st post that I put in I was frustrated and ready to give up thinking that this worked on everyone's Lexus but mine. I finally got it to work and I hope you will be able to also. This is the most annoying problem... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After the input sequence will you go to a new screen or do you have to go manually? Now that you can do it with ease, what were you doing wrong looking back? Ive tried at the very corners(touching plastic as well as sceen) and offset a little. Ive tried slow and fast sequences. brief taps as well as longer ones.
