We finally got the new hard drive and it was a snap to install. However just a wee bit of disappointment with it: Revealed when we touch the Info 'button' on the screen is that the data is Sept. '03!!!! We ordered and thought we were getting the sep. '04. I'm off to send them (Sewell) an email asking what happened. We were jipped... by how much I don't know but jipped nontheless, don't you think? Bill

Thanks for the information. I'm still confused. Is there anyway I could find out for sure that I myself could do the intallation? I'm no geek or nerd. I will try the above web site for the part. Maybe they will have some information on that. Also curious about what the screen difference would be between the hard drive variety and the dvd Navie? Thanks again, Bill

We want to upgrade to the '04 info and understand that the Navi in our car is the hard drive variety rather than the dvd. We have been told that we'll need to replace the hard drive, which resides in the trunk. My husband wants to just send for one and install it himself. Sounds like a matter of simply placing and plugging in. Is that close? Would appreciate advice and encouragement of anyone who has done this. Thanks!

My husband was talking to a Lexus salesman and during the conversation, he mentioned he had a '91 LS400 to trade in. To which the salesman replied :o You don't want to trade that in! "Did you not know that 91 and 92 were hand made automobiles?" No he had no idea. Is this accurate information? Please advise. PS the LED for clock and temp on ours is dark until it sits in the sun but goes back to black soon as the interior becomes cool again. Will that be the case if we buy a '97 or '98 LS400? Any informed opinions would be appreciated. Thanks! Katydid
