Where would the fuse be? Ive check under the hood and I don't see a fuse that belongs to cd/navi. I have try disconnecting both battery terminals. And my CD player works for about 5 sec. And stop. Then I try disconnecting the whole center console unit and plugging it back in still no work.

I don't know a fix, but my suggestion is to be patient on this thread to see if anybody have other suggestions to try.

If not, I would start looking on Ebay and local salvage yards for a used replacement. I would also try to search or to ask ppl if anyone knows any repair shop around.

here is what I found on a repair service from Japan, advertising on Ebay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/TOYOTA-LEXUS-RADIO-NAVIGATION-SYSTEM-CD-DVD-REPAIR-SERVICE-/251222569347?pt=Car_Audio_Video&hash=item3a7e083183&vxp=mtr#ht_449wt_1172

Ok so I've read some where online. It told me to press menu and upper corner and lower left and the disc will eject. But remember i did it blindly because my screen is pitch black. So now that I got the nav disc out. Now what? I've talk to a guy thru a member here he telling me since my disc comes out and touch screen isn't powering on. And still works from touches most likely it's a bad screen. I would like some more input before I spend 400 bucks on a screen.

What kind of help do you need? You already diagnosed the problem and narrowed it down to the Nav unit. Replace it! The one you bought on ebay has probably the same problem yours has. Return it and get your money back.

Then go to the junk yard you've been few days ago and buy the unit that works for $1150. Maybe they will come down to a $1000 or so. It is one of those tdeals where you have to decide what its worth for you.
