2004 GX470 Nav overide
In reading these posts I have come to the conclusion that there are no fixes for my 'older' system for putting in XM radio or overriding Nav system to allow setting destinations while moving. Is this correct?
Also I'm sure the salesman mumbled yeah when I asked about this car being bluetooth phone ready but how do I find out for sure before buying a bluetooth phone?

Hi Julieh,
No the GX470 04' is NOT bluetooth capable, this was a new feature for the '05 model and carried over to the 06' model. As for the Nav overide "fix", it really is an easter egg, or back door for the Lexus Service Techs to change some of the settings of the GX. So far, only the 05' easter egg/backdoor has been posted.
That said, I'm 200% sure that such an easter egg is available for the 04' model, just hope some kind soul will know about and post it here on the forum....
Good luck...!

Using Cap's post from above , I am able to overide the Nav system on my 04 GX. Yesterday after doing this, my passenger started inputting an address when up popped another screen which I had never seen. It contained a bunch of NAV system checks and the strangest one was a button allowing me to turn on my back-up camera while driving forward. What a sight it was driving 70MPH and looking at the road behind you! In addition, the only way the diagnostic screen would turn off was to re-start the engine. Now, I cannot duplicate it.
Has anyone else experienced this? Does anyone know the exact sequence?
