    Nav to Non-Nav Conversion Walkthrough

    Y’all know what the latest firmware is on these units? I think I want to update my software and or firmware. A couple quick questions/updates: 1) I was able to maneuver my way around in settings and set the car up as “raise<Pardo(AMP/rear). Although I would consider this progress since I was...

    Nav to Non-Nav Conversion Walkthrough

    None of the interface looks like this at all. Everything is much more cryptic, and I’ll have to take a video to show what it looks like. For example, I can’t choose a car manufacturer… Just a bunch of weird protocols like, Ruiz Chang, vehicle information, radar, volume, open door alarm sound...

    Nav to Non-Nav Conversion Walkthrough

    Yeah, it shows as unknown. I’ve tried looking and programming (code 8888), and no dice. It’s just not getting signal. When you do the conversion, where does the CANBUS feed in?

    Nav to Non-Nav Conversion Walkthrough

    Hey guys. My GX was born as a navigation unit, but I converted it to NAV back. Everything went pretty smooth, and I installed a joying unit – the new 9 inch with the volume knob. Overall, it’s pretty great. The only problem I’ve run into is that the head unit will not recognize the can bus. I’ve...

    Most common problems GX460 for current owners

    No, it’s not worse on turns. I did the dive test to double check the front bearings initially and it makes no difference. I also sat in the back seat/rear seats to listen in the rear. Nothing more than any other spot. The weird thing is that it only gives off that growly tire sound when I’m...

    Most common problems GX460 for current owners

    I’ve got a question for y’all that’s on topic, but also off-topic… I have a 2010 GX 460 (139k on it) that has recently developed a vibration/road feeling issue at highway speeds. At first, I thought it might be a bearing, but it’s not. I had it checked out thoroughly by a mechanic that I trust...

    GROM VLine Owners (Please post only if you've owned this device)

    Installed a vline2 I to my 2010 GX460 for CarPlay, and I’m having a couple issues. 1) When I first installed it I had disconnection issues and bugginess with sound and mic. Like not working at all. 2) Once I got it “working”, the sound would not play until I activated Siri and canceled. Then it...

    Warranty worth it?

    From Lexus Driver Portal -- looks like it already happened. And bags have also been done. Alas, my dream of free gas has evaporated... I should have known someone had messed with it, seeing as when I did the Uni-mod the foam insert looked tip-top. 06/18 -- 104K SERVICE: R AND R SECONDARY AIR...

    Warranty worth it?

    This is great info to have. I’ll check in on it via the Lexus portal, but I don’t think I saw it there before. And bonus...free tank of gas! Are there other TSBs that I may qualify for? Anything for mediocre leather? ;)

    Warranty worth it?

    I was thinking self-insure is the way to go too. It’s a base, so the air ride liability is moot. I just wasn’t sure if there are SAIS issues like the 470s, or any other really predictable problems (cough...exhaust manifold...cough). Sounds like there are fewer issues.

    Warranty worth it?

    Hey guys. I picked up a new to me 2010 GX460 this weekend at a local Ford dealer. The truck seems to be in really good shape, but they did offer me an extended warranty under written by Ford for $2400 for two years and 24,000 miles. The price seems a little steep to me, but I’m not as familiar...

    Media GX460 / Prado150 pic thread

    New to me 460. New shoes (265/65R18). I’m digging the switch from 470 to 460.

    Ticking options -- Doug Thorley Long Headers + 2007 GX470

    I'm in the same boat. Trying to get some sound while also trying to keep the truck as family-friendly. I'll probably go catless though, since MN isn't a testing state for emissions. It'll probably add a bit more noise, but such is life. :)
