I just recently purchased a 2013 GS 350 and have noticed the maps have never been updated. How often does Lexus come out with new updates for the nav system? How difficult are they to install?
View 10 RepliesMy ipod wakes up only 60% of the time when I start the car engine. For the other 40% i have to disconnect and reconnect the usb cable for a link to establish. I read somewhere that a firmware update can work but a firmware update seems to be bundled with a map update which I am reluctant to pay.

View 6 RepliesI could not find a picture of the 2013+ SFS headlight harness connector. I'm trying to wire a 6 ohm resistor across the turn signal as my LED upgrade is causing the fast flash problem(I expected this). The only place I can tap into that circuit is probably the headlight harness, preferably through the connector. I tried to measure the voltage on the connector, but the contact is too small and narrow for the probe to make physical contact. I even tried to put a cutout paper clip into those tiny holes, but still no dice. The wire colors are different between driver and passenger side, and the Sonata forum was indicating it is the top right corner for the positive lead of the turn signal. Which wire is the + & - for the turn signal.

View 2 RepliesI'm installing a new amber light on my 2013 F250 signal cab and was wondering where most people run the wires into the cab. It has a magnetic mount and I didn't want to put a hole in the roof. I have a cap on the truck and I also don't have a sliding rear window. This will not be a temp. install. Putting the wires in through a hole in the 3rd brake light?
View 3 RepliesHaving issues with their RNS-510 in regards to inaccurate GPS performance? It was fine before I upgraded the maps and firmware. Now, it seems to lag the behind the car by about 10-20 meters and on side streets will sometimes jump over to the next street and back?
Its a revision G-unit (J after the update I think). I have reset the unit multiple times, cleared the GPS data, nothing seems to work.
The only light that comes on when entering the car is the dome light. Do the map lights not come on when entering the car? Very irritating. All of our past/present vehicles have the feature of all interior lights coming on before starting.
I have a 2015 Camry SE (non moon roof). If in fact the maps lights don't automatically come on when entering the car, can another map light fixture from a higher trim level be used instead? Or is this just a Camry thing.
Is it possible to update my 2005 camry GPS maps without losing all of my locations and addresses.
I have a new CD: 86271-GEN04-15 purchased from the dealer as a gift.
I am enjoying my new (pre-owned) 2010 Gen III prius and it has been a pleasure so far. My only whine is that the navigation map mode is always in 'North up'' and 2D mode.
In this day and age of the GPS/MAPS world I suppose it wouldnt be too much to ask for a 3D view of the map and default 'driving direction up' mode? Also can the daylight mode be selected even at night or when the headlights are turned ON?
I have a 2013 6.7l super duty Lariat. I want to install flashing LED lights to work in conjunction with the hazard lights. The leds have their own controller and will be separate from any other lights/wiring. What I need is some way to trigger a relay to turn on the led's. Was hoping to tap into the hot lead off the hazard switch itself but that's not an option!

View 6 RepliesI have a 2012 Camry LE and I always use bluetooth connectivity between my iPhone 6S and the car. I use an online radio app called "Tambura" (similar to pandora but something which caters to Indian Hindi songs). Now I also use my phone as a GPS navigation device on need basis. The problem I am facing is that, whenever I am listening to music using the radio app in my camry's speakers with volume on around 15-20, whenever the Google maps voice says something like "take next exit" or whatever, it is almost inaudible. I expect the sound to be on same level as my music but that does not happen.

View 5 RepliesI just replaced my front rotors and brake pads this afternoon. I took it for a test run around the block and had allot of smoke come off the rotor on drivers side. I concluded that it had seized, and replaced it with a new rotor. I then test drove it a good two miles to fill the girl up with gas, when I got home I saw that my passenger side rotor had a faint amount of smoke. Granted I did a sloppy job and there was brake fluid everywhere. With all that being said, when I drove her to get gas it did not pull to the right, jerk or pulse. I was able to stop on a dime, I guess I want to know if this small amount of smoke is just the new pads adjusting to the new rotor?

How you did your install and routed the wiring? I would rather not keep the hood up during charging.
I notice that I am not getting much if any cool air out of the front seats when I have that feature on. I assume that the filter needs to be changed in my '08 LS. The Lexus bible says to see a Lexus dealer to have that done. I want to know where that filter is and if I can buy it and install it myself.
View 4 RepliesI am getting ready to install DVD headrest players in my RX400h. I am stumped on how to remove the read shield of the seat if that makes sence? I believe the are held in by clamps from middle to top but not sure what needs done at the bottome. And I can also feel two straps at the bottom.
How to remove the back so I can run the wires down the seat from the headrests? Pictures? Diagrams?
