2006 Rx400H Navigation Ver. 10.1 Installation
larrytrk replied to cdfchief's topic in 04 - 09 Lexus RX330 / RX350 / RX400h
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. -

What are the steps involved for installation in an 06 RX400H? -
Iphone Integration With 2006 Rx400H With Nav
larrytrk replied to ereiss's topic in 04 - 09 Lexus RX330 / RX350 / RX400h
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). -
2006 Rx 400H No Telephone Voice Commands.
larrytrk replied to JayPM's topic in 04 - 09 Lexus RX330 / RX350 / RX400h
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? -
Mp3 Plug And Wire Begging To Be Used
larrytrk replied to mynewhybrid's topic in 04 - 09 Lexus RX330 / RX350 / RX400h
Did you plug in your i-pod and push disc to see if it works? -
"Remember that the mighty Oak was was once a nut like you" I have always found voice command, entertaining!!

Install 400h Gps Update
larrytrk replied to 2827karch's topic in 04 - 09 Lexus RX330 / RX350 / RX400h
Remember you will loose the override with the 7 disc!! -
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.

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!

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!

Does Your Rx "jump" Over Holes And Cracks?
larrytrk replied to LexRexBlue's topic in 04 - 09 Lexus RX330 / RX350 / RX400h
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! -
Install 400h Gps Update

The Nav unit is located in the back under area near spare tire. Do a search. -
2006 Rx400h Nav Upgrade
larrytrk replied to skirabbit's topic in 04 - 09 Lexus RX330 / RX350 / RX400h
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..... -
2006 Rx400h Nav Upgrade
larrytrk replied to skirabbit's topic in 04 - 09 Lexus RX330 / RX350 / RX400h
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. -
2006 Rx400h Nav Upgrade
larrytrk replied to skirabbit's topic in 04 - 09 Lexus RX330 / RX350 / RX400h
Does the DVD upgrade disable the override that allows changing info while in motion? -
Phone- Bluetooth Compatability
larrytrk replied to riwyle's topic in 04 - 09 Lexus RX330 / RX350 / RX400h
If they don't let you do it, go to the store of your provider and have a rep go out to the car or borrow their phone to try. I did that with my wifes Sprint Katana and my old Samsung. -
Check Your Cabin Air Filter!
larrytrk replied to skyfish400h's topic in 04 - 09 Lexus RX330 / RX350 / RX400h
? Check with parts dept., see what filters they use. Check receipt for part number of filter and ask. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/CHARCOAL-AC...2QQcmdZViewItem I think this may be optional, according to dealer? A search reveals both types of filters being offered, mine happened to be charcoal as OEM. -
Check Your Cabin Air Filter!
larrytrk replied to skyfish400h's topic in 04 - 09 Lexus RX330 / RX350 / RX400h
The OEM filter has charcoal imbeded in it which makes it black, Lexus replacements are therefore more expensive as the aftermarket filters lack this. You can vacuum and wash the filter, since it is plastic and reuse, however I don't know if the charcoal will still be active. You can check this info if you like. I replaced with a toyota filter, Non charcoal and will replace with the washed filter next time! -
For $27 my dealer will change my oil and install my oil, filter and crush washer, Also dispose of old oil. No need to Do it my self, for that price!

Brand New Rx350 Versus Rx400h
larrytrk replied to lsrxlex's topic in 04 - 09 Lexus RX330 / RX350 / RX400h
I never got more than 46K on my brake pads on my 2000 RX300 AWD and I thought that was pretty good. 120K sounds too good to be true! I do however expect at least 60K on my 06 RX400H AWD, we will see! -
Nav Dvd/tire Questions
larrytrk replied to shockoman's topic in 04 - 09 Lexus RX330 / RX350 / RX400h
The available i-pod connections will not show through the Nav. screen. They go through the radio LCD display. Easiest Bluetooth workaround is cutting the Baby Blue wire to the nav.(Speed sensor) as shown in previous posts. Allows full usage of Bluetooth at any speed. Only disadvantage is the ioiogram wheels do not turn! I agree screen is not worth worrying about! IMHO, unless you get full Nav use at speed, without setting overide. -
New Additions To My Rx 400h
larrytrk replied to itselectric07!'s topic in 04 - 09 Lexus RX330 / RX350 / RX400h
Have it on my Porsche, should have put it on my RX400H. Front ends are very easily marked by stones and bugs. Had a removeable bra for my RX300. More of a pain to use, the Clear Bra is a good way to go!!
