[SS430]

I'm new to this forum, so i don't know if this question has been asked and/or answered. I just bought a 2003 gs430 and it didn't come with a navigation manual. I wanted to know if anyone knew how to keep the audio display on the screen while driving, instead of the map. If anyone could answer this I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks.

I have a recently purchased a 2001 LS430 (very similar to your GS430, except larger) and I didn't think I had the manual either. However, the car has two glove boxes which was a pleasant surprise to me and it was in one of them. Also, I guess you have already found the leather folder stored in the trunk on the passenger side which also has some manuals.

I went to Lexus.com web site and registered my Lexus and logged in to their support site. There I downloaded the navigation manual before I discovered that my car already came with one. The printed navigation manual is also sold by Lexus and available on Ebay.

Now for your question: From my limited experience, it seems that if you agree to the guidance system, your screen will flip back to the map from audio after a preset time. If you don't use the guidance, I think the screen will stay on audio or climate. In the set up menu, I think I saw a setting that controls this feature. Go into the menu or set up screens and look around and see what settings are available. I do this about twice a week and have not memorized where things are yet. Still learning.

Ok, I tried it and it worked. Thanks. I appreciate it. I'll check on downloading that navigation manual too.
