    Succesful 2001 Nav upgrade to 4.2?

    Yeah, I'm almost positive now that you are correct. I found a listing on a Lexus forum stating that the Gen 2 Nav systems (which I think mine is) needs a different version that's not often on Ebay...an upgrade version that very clearly says on the disc a warning to the effect of "This will...

    Speedo cutting out?

    Thanks for the response and suggestion...I'm going to do just that, leave it overnight. My Toyota guy was a little embarrassed when I called him so hopefully he'll refund me some dough. Thanks again...will post back when I get the real issue identified and fixed.

    Succesful 2001 Nav upgrade to 4.2?

    I presume it's OEM in that it's copywrited Toyota Motor Corporation and Denso and NavTeq. Is there a way I can tell for sure?

    Succesful 2001 Nav upgrade to 4.2?

    I bought it on Ebay. Just did some additional looks on Ebay and found a listing for what appears to be the identical disk which says it's compatible with the 2004 and 2005 LCs, but makes no mention of previous years. I suspect I have a version which is not compatible on previous gens of the...

    Succesful 2001 Nav upgrade to 4.2?

    Hey all-- I apologize if this has been asked elsewhere in the forum...did several searches and didn't find anything. I have a 2001 LC with the original Nav software. I purchased the 4.2 data version DVD after a fair amount of research and just received it in the mail today. The DVD was...

    Speedo cutting out?

    Ok, I should have listened, but a new $300 speed sensor later and the issue still exists. Seems to "repair" itself once the engine comes up to normal running temperature. Does this sound like a loose connection that's magically making enough contact once the temp increases enough? Should I...

    To lift or not to lift, that is the question...

    Hey, thanks for the reply. The Discount Tire near me is highly recommending the Goodyear Forteza in a 285/60/18. They say they can get them in within 1 day, as they're supposedly in stock at another store in Columbus.

    To lift or not to lift, that is the question...

    Thanks for the quick reply, Greg...greatly appreciated. I think I'm going to sit on the 16"s for just the same reason...if I can get up the wife's permission, I'll probably throw a set of mudders on them and keep them in garage. If I change my mind, however, I'll be sure to let you know...

    To lift or not to lift, that is the question...

    Hello...recently purchased an '01 100 with some fairly chewed up 16" alloys and in need of new tires. Got a sweet deal on some '06 LC/LX 18" rims which I now have in hand. Looking for advice, as I would like to upgrade the "look" of the truck without compromising ride quality (sound...

    Speedo cutting out?

    Hello...New '01 100 owner and very happy with the purchase, short of one issue...the speedo and odometer started to "lock up" on cold mornings, but seem to recover once the engine warms. Toyota tech at our local, rural dealer says "probably speed sensor, but no way to tell without replacing...
