bking12747 Posted May 1, 2004 Posted May 1, 2004 on the 2004 ls430 bluetooth cellphones interface with the car automatically. lexus has intentionally disabled access to the keypad and phone book when the car is moving. Does anyone know if there is an aftermarket software fix? Lexus will not help.
SW03ES Posted May 1, 2004 Posted May 1, 2004 No, the only way to fix this is to install a switch that deactivates the navigation system's speed sensor momentarily and allows for use of all navigation functions, LOTS of wiring, advanced electronics, and warrenty voiding there. Sorry :(
seany Posted September 10, 2004 Posted September 10, 2004 Actually the speed sensor switch installation is fairly simple. It's just a matter of finding which wire. But the NAV may or may not disable that bypass in about 30 seconds when it figures out the car is moving by the GPS signal. If you have a picture of the back of your navigation system and it's the same model as mine, I maybe able to tell you which wire. I need the model # on the front of NAV, lower right corner as well as the picture of the back of your NAV. If you can also get the close up picture of the bluethooth module, that'd be great since I'm trying to retrofit my other car for Bluetooth.
zube Posted November 9, 2004 Posted November 9, 2004 Cut violet/white wire behind nav screen. When you are looking at it from behind it is the wire that is at the bottom left of the plug. It doesnt mess the nav up at all. All it does is bypass keypad disable. Now getting nav screen out is not very easy. I usually get about $200 to do this. But since this is a forum and they are all about helping people out here ya go. have fun.
zube Posted November 9, 2004 Posted November 9, 2004 Also it has to be done behind display I tried to find the wire elswhere but that is the only place to do it. Good luck!
seany Posted November 9, 2004 Posted November 9, 2004 $200 for cutting one wire and installing a single switch???? :chairshot: Check out the link below. This mod will let you have that and more... (DVD on Nav, camera on anytime). http://www.siennaclub.org/forum/index.php?...indpost&p=45319 $200????
92Lex Posted November 9, 2004 Posted November 9, 2004 $200 for cutting one wire and installing a single switch???? :chairshot: Check out the link below. This mod will let you have that and more... (DVD on Nav, camera on anytime). http://www.siennaclub.org/forum/index.php?...indpost&p=45319 $200???? ← He has to make a living doesn't he? $200 he mentioned was for the labor of removing the hard to remove navigation screen...not for the cost of cutting a wire.
zube Posted November 9, 2004 Posted November 9, 2004 Thank you 92lex. Just to give a clue seany trim around inst cluster has to come out glove box and most component in center console.There is no switch my modifacation doesnt mess with nav at all. Also this is a $70k car not a $25k mini van. On a lighter note piping the vidieo into the rearview camera port doesnt that input time out after a certain time?
SW03ES Posted November 9, 2004 Posted November 9, 2004 Yeah hell, if people will pay him $200 why shouldn't he charge that? I would pay $200 for him to do it just so I dont have to dissasemble the dash...
SKperformance Posted November 10, 2004 Posted November 10, 2004 SO agreed not everyone wants to rip apart ehir dash , besides before he mentioned it a few people ( myself included) never knew it was that simple. It is not like he is being an !Removed! and saying come to my shop and for $200 he will fix it,he told you how for free which is a comendable thing in todays market
