Do you need just the screen replaced ? Or the nav headunit ?

Then you can't afford a Lexus B)

gsean300, You are a very, very lucky young driver at this time, Pay and learn. Your future depends on your actions now...If in fact you were speeding you are very fortunate that an accident didn't take place (and we all know the outcome of accidents ) Listen to Nc ;) Get a Laywer and never forget what you have avoided.

I am taking your word on this one Nc ;) I will take the plunge

Coffee

Bingo !!! What is the issue ?

Well, how was yours ? Filet mignon and lobster for me with a glass of bubbly..... That's it.

I will certainly look to see if I have a headunit for you B) Probably ;) Thank you, minds of the fritz. Speaker balance is all over the place and the garage has diagnosed it to the head unit..... I just happen to have a headunit nakamichi for your 99 GS. B)

To our many members @ LOC B) May it be safe and Healthy B)

I will certainly look to see if I have a headunit for you B) Probably ;)

Does the cd play ? It will not eject if there is a cd set to play. The cd has to be set back into the magazine before eject will work.

Seriously look into the trunk hinge wiring harness fix, You will be amazed when everything works as it should. Seriously ;)

Yeah, That is a great idea, Do you know somebody that will hang on to the front of the vehicle while going 55 mph ? When the cooler is actually having the heat being disapated over the fins/stack, In other words when the cooler is actually functioning.

Does the changer play ? Is there a Magazine in the changer ?

B) Happy New Year

It would be interesting to temp the fluid before and aft the "factory cooler in the wheel well " Compared to a cooler in the front of the vehicle. Yes ? What are your drain and fill intervels ? Factory specs or Mobil specs ? Thanks for the info.

The cooler the fluid the longer the fluid lasts and remains more effective If the trans fluid is operating at the temp it was designed to, lowering the temp will provide no benefit. Coolers are used when you are operating in a maner that will overheat the fluid (extensive towing, etc). The RX has a trans temp light which will indicate this. The RX has a trans design problem, not a trans temp issue. I use the cooler to extend the life of the fluid, The tranny only has to heat up to 153 degrees to operate properly, Although full temp is quite above 153, So keeping the fluid cooler is a benefit. ;) What makes you think fluid running at 153 will last longer than fluid running at let's say 170? I can see the need for an additional cooler (remember you already have 2) if there is a design problem where the tranny runs above the intended temperature or if some use such as extended towing is raising the temp above the design intent. However, throwing on an extra cooler just to lower the temp below the design intent is not always a good idea just because you saw it on some high performance race car. Not the case that I saw it on a race car :P Tranny fluid at full engine temp runs around 200 degrees so I run 190 or cooler, There is only 1 line that runs through the bottom of the radiator. B) Either way you look at it , The cooler temp extends the life of the fluid. I am not sure what you mean when you say there is only 1 line that runs through the bottom of the radiator. There is a second factory cooler in the fender well. The cooler you say that is installed in the fender well is aftermarket, (PICTURES of the aftermarket cooler PLEASE ) Just like the cooler I am refering to. Although the fender well is not the best place for the install. B) It's not aftermarket. It is factory and has been discussed over and over many times on the forum, along with the pros and cons of the location. Just take a look at your right front fender well. You do have a RX right? This is an RX forum and I was only refering to the RX. It looks like you may have some other Lexus model. So, If Lexus has a second factory cooler, Then it certainly has benefits, Right ? Back to > ( Is anyone using Mobil1 Syn ATF? Its now T-IV compliant? Any experiences? )

You are making those statements having no idea of my situation. You naturally assume that I will make a big deal over the evidence - if there is any. Please allow me the latitude to make my own judgments and handle my situation the way I see fit. I really do appreciate your advice. I know that you are only trying to help. I am not on a "witch hunt" and I do not intend to make a big issue of this matter. Does anyone have any information on the ability to review GPS history on the LS430? ~Thanks History is not going to happen, Do you have Lexus Link ? Lowjack or anything comparable ? Ask your relatives to be truthful. Although you know the borrowers better than any of us. Personally, I would never lend out my Lexus. OK, To the wife only..... Good Luck There is no memory in the nav system like a black box or the like.

That may be the case but how do I do the inside part of the lens? There are posts on "How To's" You have to remove the assembly and bake it in an oven at 190-200 degrees for 5- 15 minutes and this will soften the adhesive that holds the lens on to the housing, Polish the inside of the lens and reassemble after a good cleaning, Seal with a good epoxy and reassemble. If you do this It is advisable that both lenses get the same treatment.

I agree with SW, Maybe a vacuum line was cracked or creased while you removed the TB and/or replaced it, Make sure all of the vacuum lines are connected to there proper position and fully tight.

Oh, Here you are, Your other post in the GS forum should probably be deleted ;)

You may get more responses in the LS forum, This is the GS forum ;) Did you disconnect the neg. battery terminal before the uninstall/install ?
