Seems to be a Common problem with 2IS (06-09)...I still see old LS430s, LS400s like 10-11 yr old with working touch screen/navigation, Lexus really needs to step up and replace these faulty units as there have been quite few occurrences.

So it's either the 4th wire or buy a new screen?

I will post everything we learn here. I'm just not planning on removing a working unit simply to be prepared for the eventual failure.

If anyone has a broken one and would like me and my friend to examine it so we can all find out the "secret," I'd be happy to help.

Yours should have gone out by now. Any updates on your fix?

I never touch it anymore. I have a mount for my phone, and the nav on my phone is ridiculously better than any OEM nav I have ever seen. So the touchscreen has not failed yet. I've got about 115k miles on the car now.

I'm not even sure if I am competent enough to take the unit out myself and send it off, much less try to experiment on it. Ugh.
