Default Disable sport graphic?
Does anyone know how to disable the navigation screen from showing the graphic that displays when you put it in sport mode? I would like to limit the designation to the gauge cluster only.

Thanks!

LOL if you have an anxiety-filled girlfriend like me, sometimes it's not the best to put that on display. She sees that sport mode come up and has a death grip on the door!

You can't change it unless you find the designer of the Navigation system and then persuade him/her to give you a custom firmware where it doesn't show that. Good luck.

Out of the wood word all these threads about how to disable the cool stuff now like this Sport/Eco graphic and the other thread about the ambient blue lighting related to throttle input around the gauges

Definition of "cool stuff" is a personal one. Some things are viewed as gimic'y. I would add the throttle sound generator to this list. I prefer refinement which Lexus is known.

You know you can remove that, right?

It's more of a remove and replace. The intake from the 3GS is the same, minus the sound generator.

Yep, just swap the intake from the 3GS, $200 or so.
