Hey sorry, this may be too late but the rear module is just the roof mounted screen assembly. That’s what I sent to them.

Update: the DVD monitor was indeed broken. I shipped it off first to a repair facility in Atlanta, who quoted me $1400. I asked for it to be returned. I had already received a quote from Supertech in Australia for far less. $750 AUD, which works well with the exchange rate to USD. So I shipped...

That's a lot of good info to check before I send this off. I'm going to have to read it several times and head out with my multimeter.

I have not, but will give it a try.

I'll dig around in there again, but as far as I can tell there are no options to delete any of the subsystems in that menu. Thank you for suggesting it.

Yeah, I did wonder if any came without the RSES. There are no options to change in the maintenance menu that I can see. It's mainly status checks and calibrating the touchscreen. I do wonder if there's anything that could be done in Techstream but I don't have access to it so haven't been able...

What did you do? I called my local junkyard and they said they didn't see one available in the whole US. There's one on eBay but I think I'd rather have the repair than get a potentially bad or about-to-go-bad unit.

I've been following a few threads about the missing remote and how to get around it. I bought a Logitech Harmony (I forget the model) that has IR input to learn from a factory remote, and can be loaded with custom profiles too. I went to my local "What's Happening in XXX" Facebook group and...

Yes, I actually removed the DVD display, and cleaned the contacts. While it was out, I did start it up and give it a try. It showed the same error message as when it was plugged in. For good measure, I removed the head unit display and disc drive portions, and cleaned those connections too. All...

I have a system-wide loss of audio in my 2011 LX, and it has been traced to the failure of the RSES DVD monitor in the roof. The head unit self-diagnostic is what points to this, showing "NCON" for the RSES. Apparently all the audio runs through this. The head unit powers on correctly, and all...

Just to add to this list, I got codes for the "USB BOX" for B1585, B15BB, and B15DF, and they all seem to be related to incorrectly formatted USB drives being inserted into the system. 2011 LX570.

Yeah, could be. It's hard to get a sense for the volume, but I'd bet what I'm hearing is much louder than that. I'll have to jump out and check the next time I hear it. That's the best option I've heard though. I wonder if it throws any trouble codes before failure, or if my generic code reader...

What about SAI? When it goes out, does that pump get pretty noisy?

No, I would not associate it with braking. I did apply the brakes and the throttle while this was going on, but the sound was not affected. I was leaving my neighborhood, which is fairly hilly and curvy for this coastal area, so even with up and down and left and right turns, the noise was on...

No, it was a Florida car, and now South Alabama.
