my 2001 doesnt have a DVD icon...

i think on mine you can follow steps 3-9 on any screen but since my nav has been fubared for a minute (nav ecu went out) i dont remember exactly (i dont remember having to hold the override....just touch it!)

Default I just did this in my 2001 GS430....

1. Hit Menu button
2. Hit System info soft button
3. Top Left (A)
4. Bottom Left (B)
5. A
6. B
7. A
8. B
9. Bottom right (C)
There are NO buttons where you are touching the screen....just touch ABABABC and you should get a diagnostic screen. Don't touch any of the options except for Override (you can lock up your Nav if you guess wrong).

I couldn't perform this with 100% reliability....works for me about 33% of the time (so I just do it again until it works).

Good luck!

You definitely have to hold it down. Do you have to do this every time you start the car?
