Got sick of searching so much for these when I needed them, so here's a summary if you're interested.
Post any discrepancies you see in other model years. Also, post other hidden gems if you have them...
Have fun...

Summary of reset maint light, Nav override, hidden menus, door lock option
Reset “Maint” light - tested and works on ’03LC, not sure about other years.
1. Make sure your ODO is NOT in either A or B trip mode (needs to be in total mileage mode)
2. Switch key to OFF position
3. Push and HOLD ODO reset
4. Switch Key to ON position (while still pushing ODO reset in)
5. Maint light will blink and go out
Door Lock Programming - tested and works on ’03LC, not sure about other years.
This action will change (toggle the feature on and off) the “all doors auto locking function” upon putting the truck in Park (auto unlock) and then Drive (auto lock)
1. Make sure the truck is in P (Park)
2. Put the parking brake on
3. Turn the key to the ON position
4. Move the transmission to N (Neutral)
5. Hold the back of the door lock switch on the driver's side for “exactly” five seconds and then let go (reports are of this not working if you hold the lock too little or too long – if that happens just try again)
6. Once you let go all the doors will lock and then unlock signaling the change was successful
Accessing Hidden Service Menu on the Nav screen – tested and works on an ’03LC, not sure about other years.
1. Make sure lights are in the OFF position
2. Switch Ignition to ON position but don’t start the engine
3. Pull up handbrake up
4. Hold down the “Info” button next to the Nav Screen
5. While holding down the Info button switch the PKG lights ON then OFF THREE times
6. On the screen you will see a number of options and a whole new menu including engine codes and resets, GPS calibration etc
***********Careful, use at your own RISK - there are probably ways to #$%@ your Nav or computer up messing with this, but there are some cool things as well… **************
Link to Toyota trouble codes – not sure if they are all applicable to the Land Cruiser, but I think the Toyota codes are mostly generic between models

Navigation Override (to use while in motion and possibly DVD override on some models) - tested and works on my ’03LC, other years below, but check for yourself if they work.

1. Press MENU then select SYSTEM OPTION
2. Perform the 5 point hidden button routine: Top Left, Bottom Left, TL, BL, BR.
3. The Debug Diag screen displays with blue buttons
4. Press OVERRIDE DRIVE button for a few seconds (it turns from blue to green)
5. Press BACK (upper right)
6. Override is effective until ignition is turned off.
’03LC/LX

2. Press the DVD button (on screen) in the top right hand corner.
3. This will show you a version screen.
4. Then you proceed with the top left, bottom left, top left, bottom left, & bottom right (with a full fingerprint).
5. When the blue screen comes up, press override until it lights up (about 3 seconds). Then hit back and you’re done.
6. Shows several other screen options
’04-’06 LC/LX
1. Press Menu button.
2. On the screen that appears, there is a volume button--press it.
3. On this screen, there are no buttons at the top left corner and bottom left corner, but press in this order; Top, bottom, top and bottom (Upper left and lower left) .
4. A new screen will appear with multiple buttons. Press and hold the one titled "override"--it will change colors and BEEP.
5. Push the "Back" button to exit and you're good to go.
