DJ - I'm with you; I should have done this years ago. Any luck on figuring out how to bypass the nav system so it can be utilized while you are driving?

MADKOW - I'm in Rockville, MD; which dealer did you end up getting it from?

kenny - bought through ebay also

I installed the new DVD myself based on the instructions provided in the forum (3/23 drb posting). It works perfectly, thank you!

On 4/21/04, I was headed down the highway at 75mph in my 2002 LX470 when I suddenly head a loud screeching sound and the steering wheel locked up for 10 secs. After recovering control of the car at the high rate of speed I pulled over and found that there was oil/grease all over the front passenger tire rim of the vehicle. Took it to the dealership and they claimed "defective ball bearings" and replaced both front ball bearings, knuckle(?) repacked and sealed and sent me on my way. Two months later (6/30/04), a similar situation occured (other than the sterling wheel locked up for 15 secs this time), and I continue to live/tell. The car is now at the dealer and I am hesitant to ever drive the vehicle again (2 strikes). Has anyone had this occur to them? Has anyone had to deal with a "case file" at Lexus national? Also, any advice on lemon laws would be helpful.

tried to install the new nav dvd and it says "disk error", "cannot read disk"; I checked the DVD and it has no scratches and looks fine. Also checked in my computer. Is there anything else I need to do? It appears that it didn't even attempt to update as mentioned above.

wil try tomorrow night and let you know how it goes; thanks for the advice drb

take it to your local dealer; should be able to program it at no cost to you

I recently purchase the October 2003 update release of the NAV DVD and I am trying to figure out how to get it installed into my car. Is there a drive somewhere in the car where I just need to pop it in?
