So, I had heard this was happening frequently and now my navigation screen has stopped responding to touch inputs.

It looks like my Lexus platinum extended warranty has paid it's self off!

For those that have had the entire central control module replaced by Lexus with (I assume a refurbished/manufactured) one, have they held up? Are the repaired units anymore robust than the originals?

My car is an 2008, has the weak connections to the touch screen been addressed in the later vehicle builds?

Thanks!

Andy

 

Good question. According to the Lexus history on my 08' they replaced the nav screen due to the input not working over a year ago. I just bought the car so I will report back on the functionality. Apparently the dealer charged the previous owner just for the parts and no labor so hopefully it was with a newer more reliable unit.

 

Had an 08 ISF, same issue, touchscreen stopped working, but it was under factor warranty back then. Replaced and never had an issue 2 years later when sold.

Currently an 11 ISF, no issues with the touchscreen (yet.) Hopefully it has been addressed with the newer builds.

 

this is a common issue on the 2IS, there is a big DIY thread to replace the screen or digitizer if youre not under a warranty. No need to completely change out the unit

I was down until the dude say to test electrical connections. Im praying that my decision to buy a 2010 will help me avoid most of the early model year BS. My last 3 cars were first year models and they all had " teething issue ". Never again. Considering that the issue has been known since 06-07 I am assuming that they got it sorted.

 

I did this fix myself. It was actually really easy and only took a couple hours at most. Bought a conductive silver pen, and a multimeter for under 20 bucks. If you are hellbent on getting this done asap, dm me and I can walk you through it. Mine was done 2 years ago, no additional issues.

 

some people reported the pen fix wearing out after some time. A more surefire way is to get a new digitizer or screen. YMMV
