2007 Lexus LS 460L Reinitializing Seat Position Memory (Detailed Steps) Occasionally when the battery has been disconnected, the Seat Position Memory becomes non-functional. It does nothing, not even beep. In addition, if you use the manual controls to move the seat or the seat back, you may hear repeated beeps. These are indicators that the seat position memory is lost and needs to be reinitialized. Here is a procedure that reinitializes the 2007 LS 460L and most likely will reinitialize this feature on other Lexus years and models as well. 1. Standing outside the driver’s door, open the door and using the long manual forward and back seat switch, move the whole seat fully forward until it stops. 2. Now using the same seat control, move the whole seat fully to the back until it stops. You may hear repeated beeps during this motion. 3. Now use the seat back tilt control to lay the seat back fully down toward the rear seat. Again, you may hear repeated beeps. Continue laying it back until it stops. 4. Using the same tilt control, now tilt the seat back fully upright until it stops. 5. At this point, the seat position memory should be reset as it has counted the rotations of each of the associated seat motors and now knows the seat’s actual location. 6. Get in the car, close the door and start the car. Leave the car in Park and remove your foot from the brake.. 7. Using the appropriate manual seat controls, move the seat to your most comfortable location and preferred degree of seat back tilt. At this time, you may also set your outside mirrors and telescoping steering wheel position using their controls. 8. Once you are satisfied with all the positions, press and hold the Set Button on the driver’s door and then press the appropriate L1, L2, or L3 Memory Button. Continue holding both the Set Button and the selected L1, L2 or L3 Memory Button until you hear a single beep. The present seat location and position are now programmed into the corresponding Seat Position Memory. The fact that you heard a beep confirms that the Seat Position Memory has been reinitialized and is now capable of capturing your preferred settings. 9. You can test your memory settings by using the manual controls to move the seat anywhere away from your ideal position and then press the appropriate L1, L2 or L3 Memory selection. The seat should return to your programmed setting. 10. You may now set the remaining seat memory positions starting with step 6 above.

I have a loaded 2007 LS 460 L and still love it. It was identified as one of the cars that could possibily have a flaw in the alloy used to make the valve springs. Consequently, Lexus contacted me and replaced all valve spings at no cost. There were no complecations. Even though my 2007 LS 460 L is the first of this model, it is an exceptional automobile and I still get a great thrill out of driving it. I can certainly recommend buying a "refreshed" version of this outstanding ride.

The Navigation System Hardware for the 2007-2009 LS 460 and LS 460 L is GEN 5. GEN 6 hardware is on 2010 and newer cars. While the latest Map and POI updates for both are version 10.1, the GEN number is tied to the year of the car and remains constant. A Hard Disk Drive Map and POI update version 10.1 for GEN 5 hardware is now available via a Lexus dealer. The part number is: PT219-HDDG5-10. The MSRP (retail price) is shown as $199.00 plus installation. One great improvement in version 10.1 is that the "I AGREE" screen will disappear, on its own, after 5 seconds. You won't be forced to press "I AGREE" every time you start your car. What a relief.

My 2007 LS 460 L had this problem as well. When I cranked up the volume, the Audio System went dead. Had to shut off ignition to clear condition and reenable Audio System. My Lexus dealer replace the 450 watt Amp system and it has not failed since, and it has been nearly three months now. My dealer has been very helpful and professional.
