Navi Screen and Radio Turns Off/Resets While Driving
I was just wondering if anyone else has had any issues with their navigation screen in the '14 IS. Twice now in the last week, while driving, it has reset. The screen goes black, music/radio turns off, and then everything comes back up after a second or two like nothing happened. Also, probably just a coincidence, but both times it happened in roughly the same location on my drive to work. I've also asked the dealership about it, but still waiting for a response.

Ya, it's not bugging me too much since it reboots quickly, but definitely annoying. Also, I do have an Ipod plugged in through USB. I wasn't playing music off it at the time but I do have it plugged in.

happened to me too three times while driving from boston to ny and LEXUS said they never heard of this happening meanwhile a review of the car on car and driver im pretty sure said it happened to them too...i took it to service and they reinstalled the software and now its perfectly fine...it may have to do with the navi memory card or something of that sort....no issues now

Just an update that confirms what others have said (that Lexus knows about it)
This was part of the response from the dealer:
"I checked with our shop foreman to see if he has heard of this problem, and it seems like it is an occurring problem here and there, and that Lexus Corporate is aware of this bug. I was told that corporate techs are working on a firmware update fix for the problem."

Ah, the fun of getting a brand new model with all the new updates. If the Gen III is like the II you'll be having issues for quite awhile. But that's what early adoptors are.....test mules.

Navi screen reboots while driving
I'm experiencing the same thing. I've had the car not even 2-months and the navi screen has reset 3-times while driving. In addition to that, the heated seats are terrible. They barely get warm but that's part of another post.
Anyhow, wish me luck. The dealer is picking the car up Monday to look at it.

Bottom line: there's no known fix, and those of us who are on our second or third nav/radio are waiting for Lexus to acknowledge this problem and engineer a fix (the software fix doesn't work either). Your dealer needs to do its homework before attempting diagnosis and/or repair on your car, otherwise they're wasting your time.
