Followup to previous reply:
Went to the car this morning and thought that we were talking about different systems. The lower left presses lacked an Icon. Much to my surprise it worked. The car was parked and motor was not running. That might make a differents in programming the destination. I am still confused on entering the destination, perhaps you can expand on that portion of the procedure.

Slightly confused on your reply.
After you get the black letters is that when you enter the destination, or is it after you press the back button that the destination is entered?

I posted this message March 2005 and received no replies that I could ascertain. It looked like I got about 23, but I couldn't find them. Thought I would give it another shot and see if anybody has a response.
March 2005
I have a RX 330, 2005 model. I would like to play DVD's through the navigation system; I understand that this may not be possible because of the coding charactorists of the player vis-a-vis the disk (incompatable systems) I would appreciate a comment or two on this subject.
I would also like to bypass the DVD lockout when the vehicle is in motion. I have found www.rocoto.com/siennamods/body_dvd_mod.html
that speaks to this modification on a 2004 Sienna. It appears to be very simple task.
My question pertains to the wiring diagram supplied at this web site:
1. Are these the same color code as on the RX330......... THE ANSWER IS NO!
2. Where may I find info on removing the bezel. (Toyota does a remarkable job of hidding entry points!) see below
Found out how to pull bezel
Remove the following clip on parts:
The simulated wood cover cover around the shift lever
The cover on the dash that has the 12vt source
Both these items snap off
Remove four bolts that hold the radio panel. All bolts are 10 mm. Two of these bolts are about 2 inches into the dash. Suggest magnetic socket. Two are up front and easily seen (leave the black screws alone)
Remove the radio and bezel from the dash (clipped at this point)
Remove the upper navigation and bezel by removing two bolts and then pulling to unclip.
The bezels are attach to the radio and the Navigation display (Info Only)
There are two connectors going into the nav system NONE COMPLIES WITH THE REFERENCED COLOR CODE ABOVE. (red/white and purple/white)
Does anybody have the proper color code to perform the above modification and to which connectors are they attached? This becomes a little bit trickie because there are two connectors and the the same colors wires go into the driver side and passenger side connectors on the nav unit. I believe one is for the TV and the other for the Nav unit???? Only an assumption
if you would prefer to discus this modification via email, please contact me at unemou@hotmail.com

I determined on an rx330, 2005, the DVD format is not compaible with the nav player.......I don't know if it is the same on your model.

Speaking for myself, and I suspect many other Lexus owners, thank you so very much for this information. I was stuck in the Rita hurricane evac and could not determine alternate routes because of this limitation. Traffic was moving at a crawl and provided little opportunities to access the nav system to determine alternate routes. This info would have been so helpful for my wife to search routes while I dealt with traffic.
When I talked to Toyota about a fix for this problem, this solution was never mentioned and I was told that any modification to the navigation system would void my warranty. It is my opinion, they have made the tradeoff on litigation vs customer assistance and satisfaction.
Again thank you for this information
