View 12 RepliesMy screen is supposed to be dimmer at night, but now it always stay bright. I don't know how to set it.
View 5 RepliesOut of the blue the main screen started to flash. "Synergy hybrid drive" logo shows up, then screen goes off (every 1-2 seconds). I've searched prius chat/google and could not find any useful info.
View 6 RepliesHave a question concerning the nav screens lighting/dimming. If I'm correct, doesn't the nav screen appear dark with highlighted details, at nighttime & during the daylight, the screen is bright (white) with dark detail? The other night I got into the car & turned on the nav system. It appeared normal (dark screen), but suddenly switched to the light screen. I thought it may have something to do with the dimmer switch,but i turned it on/off with no change. Is there something that I may be forgetting to try or could it be the sensor that lets it know whether it's night or day? Also, is that the sensor located on the dash (passenger side)?
View 3 RepliesI own a 2005 RX330 and all my dashboard is cracked. The model I have is the one with the simple clock screen. To replace my cracked dashboard, I found to the scrapyard a RX330 but instead of the simply clock, it has a GPS screen, I would like to know if it's possible to install this screen on my Lexus? The GPS will be functional? Below two links, first one is the kind of screen I have and second one is the kind of screen I would like to install : [URL] .....
View 1 RepliesAccording to the navigation manual (attached), the navigation screen should go to the home screen within 5 seconds. But my IS never goes to the home screen without pressing the home button, but it always shows the full screen map. I tried many different things including "Auto Screen Change" setting but nothing seems to work.

Any way to disable the auto-dimming of my dashboard due to lack of light? It seems like when I go into tunnels, the dashboard dims so much that all I can see are the needles.
I suppose I could also turn on the lights, but that seems like overkill.
I recently have been running into some problems with my 03 jetta 2.0. Last night as I was driving home my radio start to turn off followed by ABS, airbag and battery lights coming on and then lights on the dashboard were dimming followed by headlights going out for a few secs then returning on but dim. I stopped in my drive way to open door and when I tried to press the accelerator, my car completely died.
Over the past 2 weeks or so I have had to change the fuel pump and the alternator because i thought that was the problem. I noticed when i first had problems the fuel pump wasn't charging so i changed that. then days later my car started to completely die when I tried to start it(not turning over, no lights no nothing). i tried a new battery it would still die. So I installed a new alternator. My car worked fine for about a week-week and a half before last night.
I didn't even know it could do this until i read somewhere that it has this capability. How do i get my text messages to pop up on my nav screen? (2015 IS 350 F Sport)

View 14 RepliesI used the "invisible glass" product with a paper towel (since I was cleaning all my windows first) on the NAV/LCD screen and now it seems to be permanently scratched in many places. I noticed it on the first few wipes back and forth (maybe 3 wipes) and immediately stopped. Tried to clean it gently with clean water immediately and nothing changed.
The sad thing is the scratches extend beyond the screen so not only is it slightly noticeable when the screen is on, its fully noticeable on the sides where there is all that wasted screen real estate.
I've a 2015 IS350 F-Sport with the "sliding" dashboard. It is a moving part with a small motor, etc. And Lexus has made it such that it returns to the middle when you switch off the engine. So, for someone like me, who likes the dial on the right, that means a lot of moving side-to-side. Over a 10-year ownership period, I expect this will fail at some point in time.

2014 IS350 F, Having this issue of their screen freezing then restarting?
I had my radio swapped by the dealer last night due to an issue with the navigation screen restarting while driving an randomly blinking / flashing blue or white. However today the blinking / flashing came back just minutes after picking the car up from the dealer and again this morning while driving to work.
Just out of curiosity is the radio different in a Mark Levinson car or is it only the speakers, sub etc. that distinguishes the sound?
I'm considering ordering an IS350 F-Sport RWD in the next few months and I compare everything to my wife's 2013 BMW 335i Xdrive. I guess this is a legitimate comparison since both are in the same category. However whenever I look at the interior pictures one thing pops up : the size of the NAV screen. Why on earth did they leave around 1 inch of unused space to the left and right of the screen? It annoys me because everything in the interior looks more upscale than the 335, but this thing looks so cheap.

View 10 RepliesI currently have a 2010 Hyundai elantra gls. And for the past couple of weeks. I've been having to constantly deal with my dashboard lights going out..causing my tail lights and passenger park light to go out as well. My fiance has replaced fuses every time. But it pops again.
View 1 RepliesAt each car startup, after the navigation loads, it eventually settles on the map screen. Would prefer my personally adjusted home screen (the home button nearby the mouse) to just automatically appear on starting the vehicle. Is there a way to do this?
View 4 RepliesThe car is about a week old. Today, the NAV system (ML version), re-started a few times and then shut completely off. Re-starting the car does not work. Got a totally "off" screen and no sound. 2014 350?
Is there some way to reset it or turn it back on? I can't imagine that a brand new Lexus would have this sort of issue.
Is there any way to keep the radio screen up instead of it automatically switching to the nav screen after a few mins?
I've tried (i think) every option in the settings menu and i looked in the owners manual, but can't find anything.
I got my car today and am a little annoyed. When the car is started the navigation turns on and displays my Dealerships Name and Picture. Is there any way to get this removed and do I have to go back to have them take this off?
