I posted here recently asking about a cheaper replacement alternative to the ~$300.00 OEM antennna on the RX350. The bracket itself was broken and had to be replaced. The parts alone, without installation were around $300.00. I had a few people point me to aftermarket sharkfin models which were nice but I wanted to keep the factory look. After shelling out the money to get the thing replaced today I happen to see a Scion Xb in the parking lot at my work. It seems to use the exact same antenna. I haven't called and gotten a price from the SCION dealership because I don't want to know how much I would have saved, it will probably make me sick. Hopefully this info will help others who have broken antenna, I see RX350's all the time with them.

Okay, I got the .51 disk from ebay stuck it in the car and tried to get to the secret menus. they will not come up. I am getting really frustrated. I crank the car, press menu, volume, top left corner, bottom left corner, top left corner, bottom right corner and nothing happens. What am I doing wrong? This is a 2009 RX350 if I failed to mention that before. PLEASE HELP!

I finally got all my 5.1 disk from ebay. How do I clear the memory?

Where is the disk located in the vehicle? What steps are taken to change it? Where can I get a 5.1 disk? I assume I can capture both disks to iso, replac the 5.1 to map data with my 7.1 map data and be good to go? Once the 5.1 disk is in there would I be able to get into the screen using the left top, left bottom, left top, left bottom? Currently that bring up nothing for me.

I have been all through these forums reading about how to make my NAV work while driving. Didn't Lexus have enough forethought to consider my passenger can work the NAV while I drive? Anyway, I can't get into the menus doing the menu, volume, left top, left bottom, left top, left bottom trick. I tried another method of hitting info then turning the lights off and on 4 times. That method got me into a screen to run diagnostics but that was all I could do from there. Am I just dloing something wrong on the first method? Did Lexus remove that screen? Will the over ride even work on the 2009? Am I going about this whole thing wrong? I read somewhere else to take a 5.1 disk with 7.1 maps and then the hack would work but I have no idea how to replace the disk or where to get the 5.1 with 7.1 maps. I "assume" but torrent would be the place to look for such a thing?
