  1. It means that you have locked your drive shafts. You can unlock it with a button to the lower left of the steering column.
  2. It's very simple to remove the front bumper and airbag sensors are not connected to it. Just remove all the fasteners around the perimeter of the bumper and it will slide right off. Put a blanket on the ground under the bumper - to set the bumper on and protect it from scratches once you get it off. To get little dents out, use a heat gun (cautiously and carefully) on the inside of the bumper. Then, with leather gloves on, carefully work the plastic with your fingers and palm while the plastic is hot and soft.
  3. If there is dirt on the INSIDE of your wheels, it will often fall and settle on one side of the wheel. Then, when you go for a drive, the wheel will be out of balance. Look on the inside of the wheel and make sure it is clean....all the way around.
  4. The GX460 would work well for travel as it is a comfortable vehicle to ride in. But, when get a full-time 4WD vehicle for travel/highway use. Perhaps you should look at a Yukon Denali.
  5. The parking assist senson sits in a bezel and it is always the bezel that cracks and breaks. (I know because someone bumped into mine and broke it). A new bezel is $5 from a dealer. Then, you must pull off the bumper cover to install the new bezel. Taking off the bumper cover is quite easy. Once you get it loose, unplug the wiring harness and set the bumper cover on a blanket (to protect it from scratches). Put the new bezel on and then put the bumper cover back on. Simple as that. Easy to do in less than 1 hour.
  6. Oddly, even standard Toyota models have the marker lines on their backup cameras.
  7. Press the Start/Stop button with the vehicle still in gear. The engine will turn off, and your radio will stay on. :) Then, simply put your gear shift in Park.
  8. On 2011, 12, 13 + vehicles, the 'Maintenance Required' display will display User Defined maintenance items which can be set in your Nav/Display on your dash. It will also display 'Maintenance Required' every 5000 miles to remind you to check the oil (even though the oil now only has to be changed every 10k miles). When the display is reminding you of one of the User Defined Maintenance items, you can simply reset it by resetting that item on your dash display. However, if it's reminding you of an oil change, the procedure is a little more secret; hence unknown!..... At least until this moment, which I will share the procedure with you! :) If your "Maintenance Required' display has come on at a 5k mile interval and you have checked or changed your oil, then you can reset and clear that display by: 1. While the ignition is on, press your Odo/Trip button until the Odometer is on Trip A. 2. Turn the vehicle off. 3. Press and hold in the Odo/Trip button and, with your foot OFF the brake, press the Start button TWICE and keep holding in the Odo/Trip button until you see the 'Maintenance Needed' display clear and reset. 4. Turn off the ignition. Cheers
  9. Yes, it is possible to load an earlier version. Version 5 is the last version that had override in it. Look on ebay for Lexus Navigation, version 5
  10. Look on ebay for better deals for the latest dvd updates!
  11. Check out the Sennheiser Noise Cancelling headphones (available from Amazon.com). They work wonderfully with the system and cancel out all road/car noise. Makes riding in the back seat LOTs of fun!
  12. Go to the Viastech web site ( www.vaistech) Then have the modules you need and can give you good instructions on installing it if you want to. I strongly recommend sirius over xm. I get real tired of the commercials and verbal commentary on XM. The sound quality of the Viastech modules with your Levinson system will be INCREDIBLE since you are putting a digital signal directly in to a digital system. When you get done with the installation, it will look just like it did when you drove it out of the dealership. Good Luck!
  13. Can anyone tell me how to reset the tire pressure sensor system on my GX. My tire pressures are all correct. However, the light occasionally comes on. On other Toyota brand vehicles I have owned, it was possible for the User to reset the system. I hate to have to go to the dealer for (what seems) to be such a simple thing!
  14. Get rid of the wife. The GX is a GREAT vehicle.
  15. Hello, Yes, you should rotate your tires at least every 5k miles. Also, take it easy when cornering (that goes for any car!). Easy cornering will save you LOTS of rubber down the road!
