I used to make that Winchester to Herndon run back in the day right through middleburg on Rt 50. We are at the Outer Banks quite a bit as well. If you are computer savvy, you will love this tech stream gadget with the mongoose cable.

Yeah. I was down in Roanoke, Va., visiting my son, minding my own business, when we went to a local used car dealer. They had this gorgeous metalic blue GX470 on the lot, and I just fell in love with it on first sight. I was driving a black 2001 Landcruiser, with 245K miles on it. It was time to get newer, so we bought the Lexus. Original asking price was just under $40k. Final negotiated price was $36,800 + sales tax, licence, title. I feel like I shouldn't drive the Lexus until I sell the Landcruiser.
Is this it?

FYI your GX has LoJack installed.

You'll never know where it's at unless you tear apart your entire GX. My Dad had it installed on his s/c Vette and they wouldn't even let him watch or tell him where it was installed.
You have to contact LoJack to get it re-activated.

You cannot stream music via bluetooth on the GX. Since you have a 2009, you should have the Aux input that you can wire from your phone to the input. However, you can setup your phone to use the bluetooth for voice calls. If you are playing music, the bluetooth will override it. You have to pair your phone to the nav unit.

I have several Windows XP laptops that I keep about because I have software that doesn't run on any newer OS. So, I shouldn't have any trouble installing the cable device drivers, or Techstream software. I can't wait to start checking things out, changing settings, etc. It's gonna be just like Christmas all over again in April.

Also, I've read conflicting information on whether my CD changer can play DVDs. Some places in the literature say yes, as long as the car in not moving. My changer has a DVD symbol on it, indicating that it plays DVDs. I tried to play a DVD, could not get an image to show up on the NAV screen. My GX470 does not have the rear DVD entertainment system. Does anyone know the answer to this?

When you change the setting to shut off the DLR's, does that shut them off regardless of the what position the lights are set to on the steering column stalk? Or does it just keep them off when the stalk is in the "off" position but let them stay on when the stalk is in the "auto" position?
