Recently I picked up a 2015 Deep sea Mica ES 350 Crafted Line for my son and it came with a glitchy Nav screen. Sometimes it works flawlessly other times it won’t work at all. I did see where there is an update to download via flash drive and was wondering if that could be the issue. Thanks in advance for any insight.

I have a navigation update on USB that I got from Lexus for our 2011 RX 350. Is it absolutely necessary to have a Lexus service department do the update or is there some way I can do it myself?

I had the navigation system updated by the dealership at least six or seven years ago. Recently, they changed all the exit numbers on my area highways. It means the navigation instructions are hard to follow. Does anyone know if it’s possible to get the navigation system updated? my dealership says no. I guess I should believe them since they would make money on me if they could but just thought I would ask the group. Thanks all. Jane -

We have a new Lexus TX Though a Lexus owner since 1990 I find the new vehicle display and functions too complicated. The issue is there is no voice guidance. In other vehicles you could go to Settings and adjust the Volume under Navigation. I could not find such an option. Over the years we have had over a dozen Lexus vehicles, starting with the original LS 400. The SUVs have ranged from RX 300 through LX 470 etc. The one we got rid of was 2019 GX 460. TX is a big vehicle and we like most of the features. But the Navigation and Entertainment system feels too complicated. Any suggestion will be appreciated. TX being a new vehicle I could not locate much in the internet Thanks RKW

I have a 2017 rx 350 . Dealer tells me that Lexus has no updated chip to update the navigation . The latest version chip only goes to 2021. No after market chip is available due to Lexus proprietary chip technology. On my 2015 Camry I can get an after market chip and it works fine . Updated till 2023 . if Lexus has a proprietary chip and can’t provide an update and its their system we bought ( not cheap ) what are the legal ramifications to Lexus ? .

I apologize in advance but i haven't been able to find an answer to how do i bring my 08 RX 350 into the 21st century 🤔blue tooth is obviously hands free phone only (as far I can tell anyway). So like the title says...Whats the best upgrade for my 08 RX350 infotainment system? I'm totally a diy kind of guy, I upgraded my 01 with a unit from GROM audio which was great. I just expected more from my 08 RX 350. I don't know Whats available? Do i have to use the existing screen or replace it? as always your input is greatly appreciated, Bill -
Read the instructions, follow them are certainly complicated. In the CT (2017 with ML audio, sunroof, leather (synthetic) and all the extras available here) we have it is far simpler: Car is not turned on - take out the old microSD-card - insert the new microSD-card - turn on the car. Updated navigations system (2021) functions after about 20 minutes with car turned on. Have not updated since as the navigations system in Lexus is not worth using; often tells you to follow longer roads and sometimes against one way streets. Any smartphone has better navigations system and with completely free updates except for handing info about where you are while using the navigation over to Google. Most people do that anyway. Apple system is not better, also steal all the info available whenever using your phone.

Last night while out to dinner the battery in our 2016 NX200t died. We bought the car used about a year ago. The battery was original. Got a jump to get home and put a new battery in it this morning. Now the navigation screen is black and the radio won't turn on. I have read that this has been a problem in the UK with the European models but has anyone had that issue here. The car only has 50k miles on it. Thanks, Pete -
Does anyone have any pointers on when Lexus is going to release the latest map updates for navigation? Local dealer has been stringing me along since Dec saying they usually get them by December. Most of the roads on the installed navigation are outdated and with the amount of construction and new roads in the Dallas area, it's useless sometimes. I know phone has the latest, but I am not comfortable using navigation on phone when car has the feature. -
I used to be a Lexus Tech. I have this laying around and figured someone may need it. The CODE CARD is brand new and comes with this for you. I'm asking $40.00 which includes the shipping to you. -

How Do You Reset / Reboot The Radio?
Jhuff replied to 06GS300's topic in 06 - 12 Lexus GS300 / GS350 / GS460
Replace the battery in your key fob and it will fix the radio. If the key fob battery is low, the radio will not turn on or off at all. Sometimes your screen for your navigation will be blacked out too but replace the batteries with good batteries too not cheap ones. Otherwise you’ll have the same problem. This is what I found Work. -
After much thought - cannot replace my truck and want to bring it back to factory. It is under 100k miles and spent its life in SF Bay Area - minimal rust from drives to the Sierras but it needs lots of stuff due to general neglect, random dents and dings from city life, etc. Frame is straight and engine seems stronger every day… never skimped on the mechanicals so hopefully not too much on that end of things but want to make it look new again inside and out. An upgrade to some more modern infotainment stuff would please my wife but that is nice to have. Came across this video and this is what I would love to do for my truck: I am hoping someone here can help point me to someone in Bay Area or not too far away to help take on this project for me (as much as my dream would be to do this myself) as I just don’t have the time to devote to do this myself these days. All suggestions welcomed - truck is part of the family and not willing to say goodbye 🙂 Thanks!

I recently bought a 2013 Lexus GX460 it is in great condition with only 41,000 miles on it. The only issue I am having with it is that it does not sync well with my and my wife's iphones through the blue tooth. I have a 2014 Tundra DC SR5 and the audio system software is some much better. Is their way to upgrade the software of the 2013 Lexus touch screen and audio system to a newer version? I was wondering if anyone had ever done something like this without changing out the screen and audio unit? I appreciate any help you could give. Thank you

I'm selling my 2008 RX 350. How do I delete all the addresses from the Navigation System?

I have a similar model and the drivers seat height adjustment could be a little higher. It's not a problem for me, but my wife needs more height. One of the reviews I read did state that the riding position is lower. I would like a beep too if to put the turn signal on and there is someone in the blind-spot. On another subject. is there any way to lock-in a screen on the navigation, so when you turn it back on you get the same screen? Mine always goes back to a zoomed out flat default screen.

Hi guys, I'm new to this forum and new to Lexus ownership as well. I've had many corolla's over the years and decided it was time to finally step it up and get a big boy Toyota. A few months ago I bought an immaculate 98 GS400 for $3800 from a guy in Ohio and when I say immaculate it was this guys baby, he may have even birthed it himself. The car has been working flawless for me and I absolutely love it. The only problem I've had so far, and the car came like this, is that the head unit screen comes up blank. I found another thread on here with two lonely Lexus owners with the same problem, but it was only merely stated by them and they couldn't find any solutions http://us.lexusownersclub.com/forums/topic/41111-2000-gs400-navigation-screen-blank/ (that should be the link to it). With that long winded backstory out of the way, now to the problem, a lot of which I stated in that thread. When I turn my car on the screen comes to life and says Lexus in big dramatic letters, but then after that all it shows is a solid color screen, either black or yellow depending on what button I press (menu, destination, audio, etc..). The strange thing is that the outside temp, climate control, and radio station on screen bubbles still pop up and are perfectly clear, so I believe the display isn't completely gone. I can also still use the touch screen capability to click on things and hear the little beep noise it makes, but sadly I then have no idea what I clicked on. I've taken out and reinstalled the entire head unit and I've also taken out and reinstalled the nav computer in the trunk, I even tried using the nav computer without the hard drive in it (hopefully that didn't mess anything up). But at the end of the day I'm still sitting here looking at a solid color screen. Any ideas guys? And if I did anything wrong in this post I'm most sincerely sorry, and will repent to the Japanese car gods. -
Can I update the Navigation system on my 2024 GS350, without going to the dealer? -
Hey yall so my 2011 Lexus LX 570 Navigation Screen is now cracked and non functional as my nephew smashed an object into it. The AC is stuck on a certain level and the touch screen is mostly non- responsive. I can’t afford the dealership prices right now. Any links to any videos about fixing this? I have read and it appears the glass could possibly be replaced. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks!

Looking to buy OEM MARK LEV. RECVR AM-FM-CASS / Navigation complete set model # is P1760 on radio. It’s for 2008 Lexus GX470.

Great work on your project RX300. So as far as upgrading the struts you would be looking at an 08 to 2013 Highlander. This upgrade is beneficial due to raised spring perches on the struts allowing a slight lift ( about 1 inch) and improved clearance to run bigger tires. Thats the good. The bad is there is only so much room to space out the struts. Meaning that with your current spacers and attempting the Highlander struts together it wont fit! Another option is Strut spacers and stiffer coils. An ideal trial would be to do subframe spacers to effectively lower subframes and help regain some of the original geometry. Then go forward with additional spacer height. Bottom line there is only so much lift without major modification. Hope that helps!

Have you resolved the issue with the navigation. I have a similar problem. I had my battery replaced by an independent mechanic and ever since the radio and navigation do not work. Lexus charged me 850 dollars to do a diagnostic and they say the whole head unit needs to be replaced at a cost of about 5k. I am not doing that. Of cource the mechanic who replaced the battery says they did everything properly when replacing the battery. Anyone else have this issue and how did you resolve it? Thanks Anthony -
The backup camera still works fine. However, the Navigation and Radio not working. The left 2/3's of the screen is always blank; occasionally the right 1/3 of the screen will come on, but none of it's functions work.
