  1. My $200 Garmin, with voice commands, in my Saab, was set to answer to GARMIN, works for my wife, for me it answers to HERMAN. I refuse to upgrade my V6.1 and loose on the fly changes, just on the chance a few new streets may show up.
  2. What are the steps involved for installation in an 06 RX400H?
  3. And you get voice dial to work on the 06 400H, through the car system, how? The Vaistech SLI I have had for a few years shows all ipod info all the time, (on the radio screen) as well as providing an aux input for my XM Radio( Not shown on the radio screen).
  4. Hi, I too just purchased the same car. I had my dealer install the iphone so I don't know how to do it, but you might want to have the dealer/seller set that up for you? They wized through the screens so I never would have figured it out. But I do notice the voice commands are way off. Saying "Auto A/C on" comes back with "Turning audio system on." Are you saying that if you hit the cars phone button, you have voice dial with your Iphone?
  5. Did you plug in your i-pod and push disc to see if it works?
  6. "Remember that the mighty Oak was was once a nut like you" I have always found voice command, entertaining!!
  7. Remember you will loose the override with the 7 disc!!
  8. I'm not sure this is entirely true, if you cut the top Blue VSS wire, it was my understanding that it only affected the bluetooth screen. The only change I've noted over the last several years is that the ideogram wheels don't turn. VSC worked perfectly for several very slippery hrs, this past winter. My suggestion is if you cut the wire, put in a switch, just in case! I've also noted that my Vais SLI update did not remove the "I agree screen". It may be because of the cut VSS wire or I may just need to reset the unit. If anyone else has noted this change, please let me know before I remove panels to reset the SLI.
  9. Is the i-pod music coming through at all & info not showing up? if not push disc button again and see if it works and i-pod shows up! Otherwise check with the installer on how to work! My Vais unit works just fine!
  10. I had an inverter wiring problem on my 06, last year. The inverter was replaced twice before they found out there was a short in the harmess, which, once replaced, fixed the problem. Guys flew in from Japan to check out the problem!
  11. Mine does it over speed bumps on my street, especially in the rain. I think it's related to the brake regeneration cycle & ICE. Dealer had no comment!
  12. The Nav unit is located in the back under area near spare tire. Do a search.
  13. Our Garmin's ok for geocaching (its a game ... pretty fun), but those too, can be a major rip off. When it comes to upgrades? Our garmin ... can get an update that's 2 years newer than what you have, for HUNDREDS, only to find out your 5 year old community, with 10's of thousands of homes, are STILL not yet incorporated into the new edition. (shaking head) No guarantee that this won't happen for your $250 Lexus upgrade.....
  14. Let me get this straight, for $250 I can update my 06H Nav with new software that will disable my override while in motion, not really update the maps in my region and provide no other important improvements! What a winner! I believe, for the money, I'll just pick up a garmin with, voice recognition, text to speech, traffic updates, i-pod and bluetooth voice dial.
