Navigation and ECU problem
Hi
I have a 2007 Lexus gs450h.I disconnected the battery,and after i reconnected it,my navigation didnt work.I went to the Lexus Dealership,and they told me,i need to change the ECU unit to make it work.Its $4500+tax))Woow.
Do u have any idea what to do?Can i buy it cheaper somewhere,or can somebody repair it?
Thanks for your help.

Do you service you car at thus dealership regularly? If so, ask them to work with you. Hey *can* warranty it for you based on your relationship with the dealer. It's called 'goodwill'. If you have no service history, you are out of luck for any goodwill chance. I'd suggest looking for a used one.
Did they mention how in the world changing a battery could have caused this?
Good luck!

Find someone with a working unit and as them to be the best buddy in the world and swap units... then bring it in. Unethical? Sort of, but DAMN that's an expensive fix. Hopefully when you or if you do it, your car doesn't short the new one out.

I'm just sayen... better to look on eBay or try the goodwill approach. Changing a battery should not have this effect as most components have protections against this. Call corporate if that doesn't work. :-)

So, if I understand it right, its not the Navi unit that is bad, it's the ECU computer, right? If that is the case, do you know where in the car it is located and what it looks like? Those computers cost gazzilions new, but you can find them incredibly cheap at junk yards, they hardly ever go bad and not too many people are after them.
