Good morning all, just picked up an '07 GX470, one owner, with 59K miles. It replaced my Acura RL. Two totally different driving experiences but two great ones nonetheless.

My questions are:

Can you over ride the automatic wipers? They came on when I went through the carwash and I watched in horror as the blades got caught up in the carwash cloth. Fortunately, nothing broke.

Second question: Best way to get satellite radio. I've read lots of threads and there did not seem to be generally agreed upon solution.

Last question: Anyone change the bulb in the heated seat switch? I noticed one of mine was out.

Thanks for taking the time to read this.

Cheers.

 

On the wipers...turn them to OFF. question 3...that switch pops out, taped flat head screw driver...bulb available at dealer. There is a DIY read here in the forum somewhere. Search.

Found it

 

The Auto Wiper System operated when the wiper switch is in "AUTO" position, The rain sensor detects the raindrops that are stuck on the detection area on the windsheild glass, it sends the wiper control signal ECU according the rain drops amounts and get activated,
Simple solution: Turn that Auto thingy off from the multiswitch which is under the steering wheel.

 

Thanks for the responses folks. Also appreciate the restraint shown in suggesting I just turn the wipers to off.
