Sounds like you are grounding the WRONG side of the yellow wire... Try grounding the side coming from the harness...

OK, then I cut the purple one, and left it separated... .I couldn't see what this did or didn't do by having it cut or connected......?

Then I first cut the red, on accident that I thought was the pink on the far passenger side... I put it back together, no problem here.

I then cut the white wire with the spotted silver spots from the middle plug. btm left one.....

Now my problem is this.....
Without the yellow wire put back to it's original position, (as if I never disconnected it) I can't see the picture.

I put quick connects on both the yellow and the purple wires so at any time it's painless to reconnect them...

But I am still not able to see a picture..... (if the yellow wires are disconnected.....)

Suggestions please.

Thanks.

yup, did that and walla... it works no prob.

Mind reading my posts in the forum about this issue and getting back to me about making the nav smooth.. what steps I need to take with not doing a switch b/c I have the 5.1 and will do the touch screen hack.....

I'm referring to the white with silver dots and the purple wire....

Thanks Technique.

I want to speak for Sonartech just a bit... I followed Sonartech's procedure and created my hybrid nav disc successfully, for more than two months now, so if you follow the precedure then you will succeed. I even provide the free download site for "one" software... https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...&postcount=275 Simple as that!

memasterac or Sonartech,

When using a hybrid navigation disc compiled of 6.1 data with 5.1 loader, will I access the bypass menu the same as if it was a 5.1 disc? (ie. volume, up-down, up-down).

Thanks!

Default iPass & cup holder mod

I didn't like the the white iPass (ezPass) that is near the review mirror so I took off the labels, shot it with primary and then flat black paint.

Empty diet Coke cans would rattle, I believe Pepsi cans rattle also, so I cut a piece of black shelf material and placed it in the cup holders.

Long time lurker, first time poster...
I have a 06 GS300. Which comes with the 5.1 DVDNav. I have an access to the 07 IS350 which has the 6.1DVDNav.

Following the previous procedures I am planning to swap the Loading.kwi files so that I can have the 6.1 Data onto a 5.1 Firmware.

Basically this is so that I can enjoy the 6.1 Data in my 06 GS300 and at the same time enjoy the benefit of 'override' function as I drive.

Would this work? Before I go off and buy a DL DVD, I'd like to bounce it off of few people in this forum (esp technique, sonartech...) if this would be a good idea.

Thanks!

Press and hold the ODO/TRIP Button and then press the Start Engine Button twice. Wait ten seconds and buckle the seat belt. You'll see the buzzer toggle appear in your dash, the default is set to on. To toggle between on/off, press the ODO/TRIP button.

Worked perfectly the first time for me.

Yep. You access the "Over Ride" the same way. The only difference I saw is that I had newer map data. To this day I haven't found any ill effects from doing this change, in either my RX or ES-350.

Not so sure about this one. Primarily, I'm concerned about any changes to the map data format going from a 4th-Gen NavDVD to a 5th-Gen dataset. I personally think it should work OK - but there could be additional data in the v6.1 Map data that only supports a 5th-Generation Nav system. If your 4th-gen system doesn't like it, I expect it would safely puke on it and just give you an error message. That is, I don't think anything would "break" on you, especially since you're not trying to load 5th-Gen firmware on your 4th-Gen Nav System (I don't think it would let you do that, anyway...)

Have you tried putting the 5th-gen MapDVD in your 4th-Gen system? How brave are you?

http://www.coastaletech.com/BASIC_LOCKPICK.htm

You'll see that it just automatically switches to the volume screen and apparently does the upper left, lower left, upper left, lower left commands, then the override screen appears, the override button is selected, then the back button is selected... So it appears that the lockpick requires the override sequence...

So if they come out with one for the V6.1 DVD nav, then we'll know an override sequence exists!
Coastal Tech now has lockpick 3 out for 2007 Lexus. Has anyone ordered or tried this to see if it works? Does this mean there is an override sequence? Since I don't believe the lockpicks come with a DVD disc this can not be a software override.
