In my year and a half of ownership I have had this issue twice. I enter a point of interest into my navigation - everything looks good the route shows up on the screen and navigation begins but there are no verbal directions given by the navigation. Has anyone also had this issue?

You need to go into the settings. And turn on or turn up the volume for the voice.

A 5 second search of Club Lexus Forums found this.

What happens when you push the map button? Does she speak then? Or is she "broke"?

I usually have her set to "shut up" mode and push the button when I need assistance. Plus I can then get her to repeat the instruction if I didn't understand by pushing the button again.

Not to be rude but did you actually read my question? It has only happened twice and then functioned normally without changing any settings. FYI I did do a search.

Navigation voice was silent - destination was reached - when I returned to car and put in new destination it worked just like normal. It has only happened twice - but just seems odd.

I'm not sure what happened, but I will offer one possible idea. I can't remember if route guidance is temporarily halted while you are on a bluetooth phone, but that may be a possibility. Also, you can halt route guidance. I use that last function often. But, I am not sure how you would accidentally stop route guidance.

My bad, I missed the word " Twice "

3rd Generation RXs have numerous issues with the Radio / Navigation controls.

I five minute search of Club Lexus Forums found these. And about 50 USB and Bluetooth issues.

Seems like the common issue is the Media ECU.

Your RX is new. Take it back to the dealer.

Ive had it happen twice in the past 4 months. It shows the up on the screen and it highlights the route too but she doesnt speak. So i ended up deleting destination and entered it again and it worked fine.

Intermittent problems are the worst to find and fix. Just need to document some who, what and wheres and see if it can be replicated.

I haven't had a bluetooth versus nav problem in the '10 and '12, but this morning I put in a test route and drove on a couple of streets not on the map and she went silent and pushing the map button didn't wake her up. While she showed the name of the street, she would not speak until I got on a street that showed on the map. Which makes sense, 'cuz she's lost until she finds a known street. I didn't even get the speech about following directional arrows.

What you just explained is i think what happened to me the two times i had this issue.

I prefer silent navigation all the time. First thing I did on my 2010, and now my 2013, is turn off the voice. I don't really need a backseat driver within my navigation screen telling me when to turn, when all I have to do is look at the map screen or HUD for all our destination entries. So much more peaceful driving. Way back when I had a portable GPS my wife recommended turning her off, and have never gone back. Just my opinion, and works for us.

I believe I've also experienced David's issue in my 2013. Plus, the Navi doesn't seem to always know when I've arrived. If I put in the aqddress of a restaurant and drive there, then come out after dinner the destination is still "active" - it doesn't think I've quite arrived. I know this because if I go to Destination I see the "Del Destination" button available. Yet she is not trying to give me any guidance and there are no blue route lines on the map. My wife's 2012 ES 350 behaves the same way.
