Have you tried Display menu screen? Touch top left corner, bottom left corner and repeat this few times? Not sure about 08, on 07 this works.

^^ Well I can confirm that this *does* work on my '08 GS350 - must be a GS460 thing

Only thing I can't figure out is how to exit this screen, short of turning off the ignition. You can also get into the Nav menu and see how many birds in the sky you're tracking and also the exact GMT. . .

Is it possible to obtain the Diagnostic menu screen if the car doesn't have nav?

Thanks.

lol yea.. totally, and i did it on the way to work and I couldn't exit that stupid thing!

so I drove 20+ miles to work, without music.. without anything!

listen to the tiny rattles on the car wasn't pleasant at all..

I hate this diagnostic thing, I might've been confused with the NAV Override menu on the 06 GS
