Doesnt your car still under warranty? I dont see why Lexus dealership would want to charge you if your navigation unit is still cover under the bumper to bumper warranty which is 4 years 50k.

Do you service you car at thus dealership regularly? If so, ask them to work with you. Hey *can* warranty it for you based on your relationship with the dealer. It's called 'goodwill'. If you have no service history, you are out of luck for any goodwill chance. I'd suggest looking for a used one.
Did they mention how in the world changing a battery could have caused this?
Good luck!

something has to be missing from the story. i dont see how disconnecting the battery and then reconnecting it would cause this. did you disconnect it and accidently touch something with the terminal?

Find someone with a working unit and as them to be the best buddy in the world and swap units... then bring it in. Unethical? Sort of, but DAMN that's an expensive fix. Hopefully when you or if you do it, your car doesn't short the new one out.

I'm just sayen... better to look on eBay or try the goodwill approach. Changing a battery should not have this effect as most components have protections against this. Call corporate if that doesn't work. :-)

So, if I understand it right, its not the Navi unit that is bad, it's the ECU computer, right? If that is the case, do you know where in the car it is located and what it looks like? Those computers cost gazzilions new, but you can find them incredibly cheap at junk yards, they hardly ever go bad and not too many people are after them.
