  1. pop-out the old DVD and pop in the new one, that's it. Dont shut off the car or do anything at all till the system is loaded, about 25 seconds. Direction come withy it when you buy it from www.lexusparts.com for $300.

    On my Mercedes, the navigation data disk also contained software. So, the functionality, within the limits of the hardware, would change - hopefully improve - with database upgrades. Does it work this way with the Lexus?

  2. What is the $700 kit from the dealer and where does it store? Where can I Gget info on this other than from the dealer?

    i KNOW THIS IS A TOPIC THAT HAS BEEN COVERED HERE BEFORE, BUT NOT FOR SOME TIME. I AM GETTTING READY TO CHUCK THE RUNFLATS ON MY 05 SC430 AND REPLACE THEM WITH NON RUNFLATS. IT SEEMS MOST PEOPLE ARE VERY HAPPY WITH THE MICHELIN PILOT SPORT A/S. STILL TRUE? IS THERE A BETTER REPLACEMENT BALANCING COMFORT AND PERFORMANCE? IS THERE ANYWHERE TO GET A COMPACT SPARE FOR THE CAR WITHOUT HAVING TO BUY THE $700 KIT FROM LEXUS?

  3. What were the symptoms that made you change the O2 sensor? Was it easy to get to? Where did you get the replacement ? from the dealer or an aftermarket item?

    No, it's out of warranty. actually I bought it as an used car half year ago, 26K milage for 40K, from its previous owner. on that time the 4 years warranty was just over. i think this was the reason why he sold it out.

  4. I use the cassette adapter to my Ipod. It's GREAT ! Much better than the wireless FM which is noisy.

    I have a 2003 sc430 and just purchased an i pod. I have checked with lexus and was informed they do not offer adapter or kit. I have also checked with Crutchfield and can not find anyone that makes an adapter. Would appreciate anyone with any suggestions or answer.

    Go to: http://www.vaistech.com/home.html They have a system for you.

  5. Believe it or not my dealer here in NY did it for free too ! Most dealers will not charge you anuthing for this service.

    See attached. Good luck.

    Thanks Marty - - I found another dealer who would do it for nothing while the State inspection was being done.

    But this should be useful info to have on the site for others.
