  1. I already purchased mine from Sewell Lexus in DFW; received it and installed it yesterday.
  2. I received the new v7 NAV DVD today and installed it in my RX. It appears to have a few new features on the map screen. Does anyone know where I can find the updated user guide or manual online to learn more about the new features?
  3. No reply from this site nor another Lexus RX site. taba82, did you ever find this out? I would be interested to know.
  4. I posted this a while back and didn't see an answer, so I'll try again... I have the latest NAV DVD (I think its v6) and am unable to use the "volume screen hack" to select the override button to use most of the NAV features while driving. Has anyone with the latest NAV DVD figured out the new "backdoor"?
  5. Gruss, When I updated my RX330 DVD, the hidden button no longer works. What sequence do you enter for the hidden maint screens? Mike
  6. I finally figured out that I had to slide the button to the left while holding it down to open the door.
  7. Have they changed the hack or completely eliminated it? I just installed v6 about a week ago and the hack is the same as the previous versions. I'm sorry to report that version 6.1 by Denso does not work with the old "Volume" hack. Lexus "Toyota" has now prevented end users from using a key combination to bypass the lockout when driving.
  8. I tried the one on the Volume screen and it didn't work for me. Is that the one you were able to use?
  9. Has anyone found the "hack" for the v6 DVD (like the one in v5 on the Volume screen) which allows you to override the system so you can enter destinations while the car is in motion?
  10. Has anyone found the "hack" for the v6 DVD (like the one in v5 on the Volume screen) which allows you to override the system so you can enter destinations while the car is in motion?
  11. I recently received the new v6 Nav DVD. I've found where the player is located but when I push the button on the outside of the box, it does not eject the CD. Anyone know how to get the current DVD/CD ejected?
  12. Shebco, My objective was/is the same as yours, to go in eyes wide open. I read your post and have a few questions: * I'm not sure I understand your comment "you really had to work hard to get playlists to play correctly." Could you please explain this further? * I was able to get an electronic copy of the installation/operations manual. The manual shows the unit can be disconnected from all of the cables. If this is true, why would I have to remove the head unit cables if I need to remove the VAIS unit? * I was aware of the 2 comm speeds but understood my iPod Mini could connect with the high speed. Is my understanding correct? Regards, Mike
  13. digitalfx, I can't thank you enough for your post concerning your experiences, likes/dislikes. When you were playing a song, did the radio display the artist, song, album, etc? Did it scroll or did it function as the RDS does for the radio? Mike Overall I am very pleased with the unit....but there are several things that could be improved. First, tech support is weak at best. I called several times and the only response I got was "thats the way it was designed" when I offered suggestions for improvement, it was like they had no idea what I was talking about. In order to play songs from the Ipod, you must create playlists. The playlist cannot contain more than 99 songs. The VAIS will not play music unless it is a playlist. The problem this presents is that it limits the way you access your music....for example if you want to listen to a specific artist. The work around I am currently using- I created a playlist for each artist and placed all the songs for that artist inside. This works ok except scrolling thru dozens of artists on the Lexus radio is a royal pain. The "feature" that I have the biggest problem with is the way they implement the Random mode and Disc Random mode...these do not work well. Specifically Disc Random, this mode only randomly selects albums inside the current playlist. Since I created numerous playlist by artist name I would like to see Disc Random mode pull from all the available playlists. NOTE: a playlist on the ipod is treated like a DISC. You scroll thru the various playlists using the DISC up/down buttons. Therefore it is natural for DISC RANDOM to randomly select songs from the various playlists...this is NOT the case. I have talked w/ tech support about this several times and offered suggestions, but each time I was told: "Thats the way it was designed" I noticed today that when I receive a bluetooth phone call the radio display blanks out as the radio is paused. The phone conversation is now over the radio speakers. When I disconnect the phone call and the Ipod starts playing again, the display now says "NO TITLE" . I have to cycle thru all the radio inputs to get the display back. One other issue which was reported earlier in this Forum- You have to cycle thru the inputs twice to get to the CD1 (Ipod) input. For me this is not a big issue as I use the Ipod 99 percent of the time....although it should be addressed in an update. Again, overall I am pleased. Install was simply, sound quality is good and it interfaces well with the Lexus radio.
  14. digitalfx, I'm interested in this product but have read mixed reviews about its installation on other Lexus models. Now that you've had the SoundLinQ SLI installed for a few weeks, what problems (if any) have you experienced? Were there any surprises or information you learned about its functionality that was not known before installation? Regards, Mike
  15. I have owned the DLO iPod FM "cradle" for over a year. I mostly use it while on the road in rental cars but also have used it extensively since purchasing my '06 RX330. The quality is good but only as good as using a freq that does not have a nearby radio station. If there is a radio station within one dial position from the one being used for the iPod, the quality will not be as good. Mike
