  1. Solved : Turns out that after switching to a Vais unit a different issue turned up . We sent a video and Vais suggested there might be another XM unit somewhere in the car . We searched to trunk and found a Sirius Tuner connected to an interface . We removed this unit and now everything works as it should . My thanks to Rick at Precision Performance , Davie FL. for being persistant .
  2. Any Radio xperts out there ? Installed an iSimple and XMv200 and it works great for about a month . Then everything blacks out .No nav , no camera, no volume control and no AM/FM. I go to JM Lexus and they reboot and voila it works . This lasts a while and bing it does it again . After several moths I switched to a Vais SL3 and while the radio works on all XM stations the Text showing the station number , genre etc is constantly flashing . I switched the xm tuner out and rebooted but same thing . Driving me nuts . Any ideas ??? Thanks
  3. I have an 06 GX470 with same issue , just developed. Garaged car, 35000 miles , no armor all. Hairline vertical cracks front of dash around air vents and Nav . Will try to get fixed by JM Lexus . Appears to be a factory flaw .
  4. LS430 maybe the best car Toyota ever made . Great ride , features, quality . I do have an issue with the nav, radio , screen . It always seems to stop working . I get an error warning that the local system is not visible . I bring it to Lexus and they reset it . Works for a few days and then goes out again . Any ideas Dark Helmet
  5. Want to add a classy touch to you LS430. How about this chrome and burl shift knob available as a Toyota part from Japan . Screw off the old one and screw on the new one . Available on Ebay from JZSINTERNATIONAL.
  6. Just updated the audio system in my LS430 with iSimple issr 12, bluetooth audio and V200 XM tuner . Very sweet and simple . Now I have ability to stream my Samsung apps to the car audio, I now have XM interfaced through the car audio system . I can watch a ball game on the phone on MLB.com app and listen to it through the car and I can watch a movie on Streampix or Netflix and listen to the audio throughout the car. The only thing now is the nav screen and system is outdated . definately worth the installation costs .
  7. Anyone have a nav screen sun shade for an LS430? I know one is made for the Prius but can't find for an LS.

  11. SC430 . Has anyone i9nstalled a rear view camera that comes through the nav. system
  12. 2006 SC 430 . A wind noise has developed that seems to be coming from the either the mirror or the top. Not sure and hard to isolate. Any ideas?
  13. How about a broken mirror bracket that causes wind noise . Ever hear of this issue ?
  14. So far the Dealer is pushing back on this. The car, an 06 ,has had this issue since 2007 and been repaired 3 times. I purchased an extended protection plan which of course doesn't cover it or the broken mirror bracket in the drivers door. This is a 22,0000 mile car that has never even been in a car wash . I have owned 9 Lexus in the past and currently have an IS, GX and SC. I guess all the costs involved with recalls and the tsunami have Toyota pinching pennies at the expense of their loyal customers. Looks like the battle is about to begin. :chairshot:
  15. Has anyone with an sc430 experienced a top hinge going bad? I have an 06 with 25,000 miles and several times the top will not fully close . The red light stays on and the top will not go down. I turn off and on but the top will not fully close or open. The chime always rings as if a door was open , rendering the car undrinkable. According to JM Lexus the hinge is bent and needs replacement for $4400. Of course the extended protection plan doesn't cover it. Has anyone had this experience and how was it resolved.
