My 2004 LS 430 navigation system is not displaying the last three characters of the current street name. Instead, the last three characters are replaced with "..." There is also an unknown icon shown on the map, even though all POI icons are off. The last navigation update was Special Service Campaign 4LG in April 2005.

After this TSB was performed on my 2004 LS 430, the throttle tip-in response became more responsive and uniform at city speeds. I could tell no difference in throttle response at highway speeds.

I like the idea of relocating the antenna from the trunk lid to inside the front windshield. I wonder if the 2004 LS 430 kit will be revised?

I searched http://www.nhtsa.com/ for Service Bulletins on a 2002 LS 430. Brake issue found only refers to front "groan" noise from brake application. To Lexus' credit, they do service their vehicle well during the warranty period, such as in your case: rotors and pads replacement to address the squeal.

I have a 2004 LS with factory wheels. They are silver 17x7.5 6-spoke, like those in this auction. When I looked at the identical full size spare, I thought the offset was 35mm. These pictures show 45mm. I know that the factory 18x7.5 have 45mm offset. Maybe I made incorrect notes while looking at my spare. Could any one advise? 17" CHROME Lexus LS430 Chrome Wheels Rims LS400

The Sprint Sony Ericsson T608 works with the 2004 LS 430 Bluetooth system, except that the car's audio system will not signal an incoming call - it does mute for incoming calls. The phone still rings, and phone book transfers fine. http://www.t608.com/ Perhaps one could use a laptop, Outlook's contacts, and Linksys Bluetooth adapter to upload phonebook entries to the Lexus system? http://www.linksys.com/products/product.as...cid=38&prid=581

I have a 2004 LS 430 with Smart Key. I drive the car about one or twice every two weeks (winter season). Smart Key fob is stored less than 25 ft away in the house. Has not experienced battery drain. Dealer should be able to diagnose bad battery, alternator, belt, etc.

The 2004 LS navigation system utilizes a disc that is in DVD-ROM format. It is not in CD-ROM format. Even if you can find a PC that will read files off the DVD-ROM disc, the program files can not be run on a PC.

The navigation system in the 2004 LS 430 actually has two vehicle position tracking methods: 1) GPS (2-D and 3-D) 2) Autonomous The navigation system uses both of the above methods for fine-tuning, auto-correction and re-routing. The autonomous system is relied upon when GPS is obstructed, e.g.: - in a tunnel - in an indoor parking lot - between tall buildings - under and overpass - in a forest or tree-lined path - extreme weather or cloud condition The autonomous system relies on data from gyro sensor and vehicle (wheel) speed sensors.
