I don't see any boat!!!

I hope you're aware of the enormous expense for this type of upgrade?? I only mention this because there are very few, if any, qualified installers that would do a perfect job in retrofitting a factory nav unit in your '02. Did you consider a dash mounted GPS like a Garmin or other brands. They basically are very satisfactory, and a whole lot cheaper.

In 7 years since the original mapping was released there has been lot's of changes......new roads & points of interest, aside from the fact that the new mapping disc also upgrades the internal software in your navigation unit.

So, I'll pose this question......are any of you Lexus owners going to buy an American car in the future?? ;)

Could be a defective ignition switch.

Thank's all for the good wishes. ;)

Good question......I've never found one either. :(

Year's ago that was a problem, but now I'm sure that any decent tire dealer is aware of car's that use a tire pressure monitoring system and have tire mounting equipment to avoid breaking the sensors. Just to be sure, I'd speak to the tire dealer and tell them your concerns.

That makes sense....thanks. I wish they would have clarified that in the manual. Actually, the heat/ventilated seats are NOT activated in the accessory position! The manual is not very clear in this respect. What they actually mean is, when the ignition is in the "on" position, without the engine running, you should turn off this control("0" position) to prevent discharging the battery. As an example, if it's left in the heating position it draws a lot of electrical current because of the heating elements in the seats. In the "ventilated" position it draws less current, but they mention to leave it in the "off" position just to be safe.

An upgraded DVD should be recognized, and automatiically upgraded by your NAV system, unless there was a problem with the NAV system in your car. In that case, you will need to go to a Lexus Service facility to have the unit checked out.

Besides my Lexus NAV system, I also use my Garmin GPS, both with the most current map updates. Sometimes the Lexus NAV has the points of interest I'm looking for, and the Garmin doesn't, and visa versa. This also holds true when trying to locate streets. This depends on the companies that create the mapping data. Now, that would be a great idea!

Maybe this illustration will help.

Firstly, welcome to the club. :) And to answer your question: Does the Nav provide turn-by-turn directions? Yes Will it pronounce steet names? No So far it's only saying the freeway exit numbers. Correct

Agreed...... Unnecessary.....Save your money!!!

Lexus did away with this indicator light starting with the 2007 ES350.

Of course this statement holds true, as it has for many years, but concerning my Lexus using 87 octane fuel, I have NEVER heard knocking(pre-ignition). On all my previous ES's, '91, '94, 03, 07, I originally started using 93 octane fuel, but switched to 87 since I didn't find any performance or gas mileage differences. Maybe you can tell me why the 6 cylinder Toyota Camry's requires regular grade fuel since the Lexus ES350 has the same basic engine....including the same compression ratio, etc. ;)

Hmmm.........I see you have excellent taste.

It's in the way you dress. The way you boogie down. The way you sign your unemployment check. You're a man who likes to do things your own way. And on those special odd-numbered Saturdays when driving is permitted, you want it in your car. It's that special feeling of a zero-emissions wind at your back and a road ahead meandering with possibilities. The kind of feeling you get behind the wheel of the Pelosi GTxi SS/Rt Sport Edition from Congressional Motors. All new for 2012, the Pelosi GTxi SS/Rt Sport Edition is the mandatory American car so advanced it took $100 billion and an entire Congress to design it. We started with same reliable 7-way hybrid ethanol-biodiesel-electric-clean coal-wind-solar-pedal power plant behind the base model Pelosi, but packed it with extra oomph and the sassy styling pizzazz that tells the world that 1974 Detroit is back again -- with a vengeance. We've subsidized the features you want and taxed away the rest. With its advanced Al Gore-designed V-3 under the hood pumping out 22.5 thumping, carbon-neutral ponies of Detroit muscle, you'll never be late for the Disco or the Day Labor Shelter. Engage the pedal drive or strap on the optional jumbo mizzenmast, and the GTxi SS/Rt Sport Edition easily exceeds 2016 CAFE mileage standards. At an estimated 268 MPG, that's a savings of nearly $1800 per week in fuel cost over the 2011 Pelosi. Even with increased performance we didn't skimp on safety. With 11-point passenger racing harnesses, 15-way airbags, and mandatory hockey helmet, you'll have the security knowing that you could survive a 45 MPH collision even if the GTxi SS/Rt were capable of that kind of illegal speed. But the changes don't stop there. Sporty mag-style hubcaps and an all-new aggressive wedge shape designed by CM's Chief Stylist Ted Kennedy slices through the wind like an omnibus spending bill. It even features an airtight undercarriage to keep you and a passenger afloat up to 15 minutes -- even in the choppy waters of a Cape Cod inlet. Available a rainbow of color choices to match any wardrobe, from Harvest Avocado to French Mustard. Inside, a luxurious all-velour interior designed by Barney Frank features thoughtful appointments like an in-dash condom dispenser. A special high capacity hatchback holds up to 300 aluminum cans, meaning fewer trips to the redemption center. And the standard 3 speaker Fairness ActoPhonic FM low-band sound system means you'll never miss a segment of NPR again. Best of all, the Pelosi GTxi SS/Rt is made right here in the U.S.A. by fully card-checked unionized workers and Detroit 's famous visionary jet-set managers. Even if you don't own one, you can enjoy the patriotic satisfaction that you're supporting the high wages, good benefits, and generous political donations that are once again making the American car industry the envy of the world. But why not buy one anyway? With an MSRP starting at only $629,999.99, it's affordable too. Don't forget to ask about dealer incentives, rebates, tax credits, and wealth redistribution plans for customers from dozens of qualifying special interest groups. Plus easy-pay financing programs from Fannie Mae. So take the bus to your local CM dealer today and find out why the Pelosi GTxi SS/Rt Sport Edition is the only car endorsed by the President. One test drive will convince you that you'd choose it over the import brands. Even if they were still legal....
