You can overcome this by performing the manual override; you can complete the manual override anytime you wish but it will not persist after you shut off the engine.

BTW, how are those Pirelli's working out? Figures you get the winter tread and winter goes away, huh?

For now I guess I'm burning my Dunlops to the ground, but damn this car handles so good and it was 51 degrees today in Indy, I HATE to buy the winters yet.
BTW, I'll call you when I'm in a snowbank next week

nothing gets rid of the "I agree" screen. If you don't need to use the NAV regularly, switch off the "automatic display switch" so you can still see the Climate and Audio screens without going through the "I agree" screen every time you power up.

I saw that there is a kit available for the Prius navigation which does get rid of the "I Agree" screen. The kit basically looks like some re-wiring, so I was hoping there may be a similar solution for Lexus. Here's the link for the Prius kit: http://www.coastaletech.com/nav_kit.htm. Maybe one day there will be an available kit for Lexus which accomplishes the same things.

OMG, I was doing it at night as i type, I just cant get that vent off.
It is taking an hour and it is still not off. I am pissed... plus, I dont have any plastic pry tool, so this sucks.
Any sugestions??? everything is still open. I need to get this done before I go to work tomorrow morning...
thanks

John,
I use the flat srewdriver and it worked fine. Removing the vent was the pain for me. But now i know, if your fingers are small enough, just slide the tip of your finger in the midle part and pull them out, then pull on the both side of the vent and it will come out easily. I wouldn't use the screwdriver if i ever do it again. If you're not careful, it might cause a big gap between the vent and the dash.

you can stick anything that is bent at the end(90 deg angle or greater) into the vent and just give it a good pull. It will pop out. It's only a couple clips holding it in.
