New to me 07 LX coming from 91 FJ80 DD

[Mixelplix]

While my '91 3FE powered FJ80 has proven to be an extremely reliable daily driver, I recently decided to toss my hat into the 100 series ring.

After a few months of searching I came across a well maintained 07 LX 470 with 112k on the clock. It has six pages of service history through lexus up to 109k, with nothing unusual replaced. The timing bet and water pump were replaced at 93k. It's from Southern MD, and was spared from the rust that plagues vehicles from my area. It's extremely loaded, including night vision, but no rear seat entertainment (which wasn't important to me).

I drove it for about 3 hours so far, and I have to admit it's a hell of an improvement from my '91.

I intend to baseline all the fluids, filters and get some Fluid Film on the underside.



It has an ipod hookup that plays through the nav unit under the heading "Mini Disk". It also has a mystery switch:


I know I've seen that switch before. Anyone have some information on what that's for, so I can pull information off of the manufacturers website? When I activate either of those buttons, I hear a faint click in the dash like a relay was energized.

On a side note, I had no idea a vehicle could be so silent. My 3fe sounds like an industrial sewing machine.

Quite the upgrade from first year model to last year model on the next generation.

I'm not trying to be an azz, but is it what it says- a tv/ navigation switcher? What does your screen do when you switch it?

Nothing at all. I haven't loaded any dvds into the changer however.

Congrats - looked like it rolled out of the showroom floor!

Did/does it have a satellite tv receiver dish on it? There's a white 06/07 I see regularly around town that has one attached to the roof rack of it.

I wouldn't think it would have anything to do with a DVD system unless you had rear screens and it was being used as a changing switch.

Using the Googles, I think it's this: http://www.r-spec.com/electronics/tvnavi/index.html

For future thread readers, it's a device that apparently allows the use of the DVD player while moving.

I'll check it out when I get back in the truck - not that I have any intent of driving with a DVD playing.

Another aftermarket electronics mystery! Anyone have any idea what this beauty might be:



It has four network or phone cable ports on it.

I think it may associated with a radar detector / jammer based on a quick google search. Does it look familiar to anyone?

It's a Blinder M27 Laser Jammer.

You are correct. My truck apparently has a fully functioning LIDAR jamming system. Unbelieveable
