Well, first of all, welcome to the LOC.

Second, You shouldn't type in forums with the caps lock on. Everyone thinks your screaming at them, and it's considered rude.

As for the nav disc, I've heard of booting issues alot. Maybe take it to your local dealership and show them what is happening. I'm sure they will give you hand with that. I can't see the disc, or see what your doing to be able to be any help here.

I also have a 2002 RX 300 and have experienced the same problem. My dealer told me that the ECU would have to be replaced at a cost around $1,100. They did not even take the time to look at it. The service technician told me this was the second 2002 RX 300 she saw that day with the exact same problem. Could these units really have a shelf life of just 6 years?

My RX300 nav system started giving me the same disk read error yesterday. If it's a 6 year shelf life, mine is right on schedule.

A voice mail was left today with my Lexus service dept. describing the problem. The call wasn't returned.

Can anyone tell me where the dvd drive is located in my '02 RX300?

Thanks in advance, Bill

I also have a 2002 RX with the same problem. Just started "No Dish Detected". My guess is that the LASER that reads the DVD died. Does anyone FIX these? Technically, it just a DVD player. Same hardware as any other DVD player.

FYI.

The DVD player is located to the right of the spear tire BEHIND and ABOVE the jack.
