I ran into that situation while conditioning my seats. Apply the conditioner/shampoo to the cloth first and not directly onto the perforated sections. Not too much on the cloth either. That way, it won't build up in those tiny holes. Worked for me

For that matter, the majority of the damage I saw was confined to areas where 2005 Lexus ES330 vehicles would have never been.

wow

I have a 2004 LS430 ( I beleive it is Gen 4 system) with map data 3.1.

What is the latest data update I can use which will allow me to use the override steps you describe in the tutorials section. Also any suggested places to buy the disk?

Any post you can refer me to for intallation instructions?

Thx Ernie

Hi Ernie, the latest nav software with the override menu is version 5.1, which is pretty out of date, as the latest navigation software is version 7.1. I've sent you a pm with more info, and can send you install instructions as well.

Thanks for that! I have apparently been misapplying conditioner and cleaner!

Take a mechanic or knowledgeable friend with you to inspect the car if you're that set on getting the car. However, as cars move past state lines, many details are lost such as a salvaged title. Good luck. I would wonder why they had to move it so far from Louisiana to try and sell a low mileage car.

Send me an email and I will send you a pdf file showing you how to do it.

Sent you a pm.

Thanks for the info!

I heard a rumour that the "I agree" screen was removed in the 08 version of the navigation DVD. Is that true?

No "I Agree" touch required on mine. :)

Yes, because you have a generation 5 system....

anywho, how is the prius compare to the 400h? I commute 70 miles a day on my 400h and I started to feel it's such a waste to put that many mileage on a Lexus, I'm thinking of getting a cheaper and better fuel economy car just for work like a Prius (and still keeping the 400h for leisure), but that's gonna stack up more debt :(

If gas prices continue to rise like it is doing, you may able to make payments towards the prius with the gas money you would otherwise be spending on the rx!

The I Agree button has been removed in the generation 5 systems only, with version 7.1

Generation 2,3,4 still have to press I Agree with the 7.1 version, unfortunately.

Do you have a disc installed in the navigation drive?

Good news, the destination includes private roads (very posh)! Your address is indeed in the 7.1 navigation release. You'll need to find a source for a generation 5 navigation disc, version 7.1.

I have an '06 RX330. Can anyone tell me how to determine the version number of the Navigation system that came stock with the car?

I'd like to upgrade the maps, but I just saw a dealer advertised price for their DVD, and I had to take two nitroglycerin tabs to recover ...

Thanks.

If you are using the OEM original disc that came with the car (2006), you are currently using either version 5.1 or 6.1. You can check by either looking at the navigation disc located in your trunk area, or by pulling up the dvd menu (Tap Menu, Tap Map Disc).

What disc are you using? I would try an OEM disc.

I'm waiting for Step to check his system. If it finds my house then I'll upgrade the Nav

I'll know by tomorrow afternoon and let you know. Had a busy day today!

I hear ya brother. The majority of people need to realize the left lane is the PASSING lane, and not a lane to cruise in at the same exact speed as the the other lanes!

If it happens that often to you, I would say you were tailgating, or maybe following too close for their comfort.

Lexus has added to the navigation database with the more recent navigation 7.1 dvd release. The new dvd covers the entire provinces of Quebec, Ontario, and British Columbia.

They have also added coverage to Alberta:

- Rebuilt 4 Interchanges on Hwy 2 in Calgary Area

- Realigned 2 interchanges of TCH west of Calgary construction of Hwy 43 fro Gunn to Glenevis & Greencourt to Fox Creek (Lao Ste Anne)

- Added 25,114 addresses and 1,180 miles of streets

Though you house may have been there 20 years, it all depends on if it was covered on the map database. The map does show coverage of Calgary and Edmonton on the map coverage screen. If you want, pm me your address and I can see if it shows up on version 7.1.

The above updates only reflect the changes from 6.1 to 7.1, and so if you have an earlier version, there will have been more updates made.

Sorry but idling the engine will not recharge your battery.

Sent you an email. I will need to know the year and model Lexus to provide the appropriate info.

If you have any stains that you want to take out of from the leather, try a solution of 1 part woolite to 4 parts water. Leather conditioner is also recommended.

Matt, a copy won't most likely work in the 2002 SC.

Could be a separate fuse for the memory seat buttons and the seat adjustment.

You may want to pull off the sticking switch cover (if you can) and clean any buildup that is causing the slider to stick.

I have a ls430 2006. Which version of maps do I have and how can it be upgraded?

The 2006 LS430 has a generation 4 system. Upgrading is the same as in all Lexus dvd navigation systems, accomplished by simply inserting the new navigation dvd. You can email me:
