Can you disable the Navigation system on Lexus models or ES if you prefer? Nav seems like a waste as most ppl seem to have a better system on their devices these days. I'd like to disable it bc I don't want that on any car I own. I don't use smart phones.
Seems like a lot of packages have to come w/ nav. Can I shut 'er down?
New owner of previously owned 2008 LS600hL and it has the recurring "PCS not available now" dinging message and i want to disable it for now. Upon researching it i found that it should be under the steering wheel presumably next to the TPMS reset button but I am not seeing it. The location I was expecting it to be (to the left of the TPMS reset) actually has two wires going into what looks like a blank plastic cover plate but no button.

View 3 RepliesEverytime I open the door to get out of my 08 LS460 the warning bell rings incessantly.
The only thing I can think of is that I'm usually in a parking garage and the lights are on due to the auto-feature on the lights. But, I think sometimes it rings even though the lights aren't on.
Sometimes you open the door but don't jump right out of the car. Is there anyway to disable this ringing bell?
I'm slowly reading through the ES-350 manual, picking and choosing parts to read. There are several 'Personalized Preferences' that I've noted down and will have addressed at my 1st month service.
I noticed on pg. 21 of the manual that there are settings to set and cancel the door-locking/unlocking functions. These functions are also mentioned in the 'Personalized Preferences' section, so there is overlap here (on paper anyways).
Anyways I tried a couple of times to follow the instructions on pg. 21 to disable the door locking and unlocking when the car is placed in Park and Neutral.
It didn't work for me. The instructions aren't all that clear to me, nor of what they are supposed to accomplish. I'd like to not have the doors lock when I place the shift out of Park and not have the doors unlock when I place the shift into Park.
I just sold my 2006 GS430 to pick up a 2007 LS460. So far I have no complaints.
First off: I am NOT condoning driving without a seatbelt. Merely asking a question.
In my gs430 I can go through a series of commands to disable the seat belt buzzer from beeping while i drive without a seat belt. I've browsed the forums and haven't seemed to find the same thing for the LS460.
Is it even possible it to disable it without having the dealer reprogram?
I'm taking a long road trip with my '10 LS. I'd like to pack items on the floor behind the driver's seat but am certain that the "auto away" function that moves the seat all the way back when you turn off the car will crush my items. I checked my manual and my Carista app but nothing about disabling this feature. How to do this?
View 7 RepliesToday my car came back from service, now when I reverse park I get this display where when you move the steering wheel you can choose the spot you park in. Before I was just happy reverse parking my car myself and get a different display showing me the back view with with green and red lines I think where the car is moving towards etc. I can't figure out how to disable this steering wheel park assist.

View 5 Replies2010 Santa Fe 3.5 AWD
Is there a way to temporarily disable the AWD, if one were to want it to stay in 2wd mode? Without looking much further into it, my first guess was looking at one of the fuses, but didn't really find one that would stop the AWD from engaging.
And if there is a method, would it be just as simple and turning it back on, or would there be potential to screw things up and have to go back to the dealer to get it fixed again.
I have a 2010 Santa Fe AWD which I suspect the AWD is failing. This is my 3rd viscous coupler (2 previous replacements under warranty). I am now out of warranty and am not willing to replace it again because I am sure it will fail.
I remember a tech had disabled my AWD in the past while waiting for a part to arrive. How to disable the AWD? I do remember it was from underneath the vehicle.
The reason I want to disable it is because it is intermittently delivering power to the rear wheels and it bucks and kicks when accelerating.
