Has anyone heard of the technology in the LS460 failing before 100k miles? I'm referring to things like touch screen, nav, voice command, CD changer, etc. I haven't seen many posts on CL complaining of such things so I'm left to conclude the answer is probably no.

After purchasing my car last year I did an extensive search all the way back to 2008 and found the electronics to be well above average in this segment of car which is reassuring. Actually considering what I have seen on other forums it's down right spooky how solid the electrical are.
I noted only three complaints about the NAV screen going bad which is pretty incredible all things considered.
I noted two people that had the motors in the side view mirrors that went out and one person that has a bad motor in the light housing. There was an several posts about the tire pressure sensors but I would think this is a typical problem for all cars.

Apart from that most of the electrical issues were attributed by a failing battery and it was rectified when the battery was replaced.
Surprisingly with the amount of millage there were not many check engine lights for 02 sensor malfunctions or any other major electrical in regard to the fuel regulation.

It would seem the most complaints are in regard to some pesky mechanical annoyances that some not all are plagued with.

The Lexus LS technology and electronic are highly reliable and maintenance free compared with MB, BMW, etc. Lexus is known for its reliability and dependability and technology longevity. I've never heard of its technology failing before 100k miles. Lexus the pursuit of perfection.

When I bought my car that was the first thing I checked for because all of this stuff is really expensive and I didn't want to drive away and find half my dash was out. Everything worked as it should, which is a lot more than I can say about the A8s I looked at. Inside those cars buttons were broken, ***** were worn out, lights weren't operating...the lexus is a little higher quality.
