Default Another NAV question

Guys,

Been trying to find a way to reset my NAV. I have done the upper left/lower left... hack and it didn't yield me any results.

I saw the new thread by LA Wheels and it doesn't work on my 01 UL.

Basically I am trying to reset/defauly my NAV to see if I can get rid of my current problem. Basically the NAV is always acting like the car is driving and thus not letting me choose any settings Tried the override but the button just turned green and did nothing.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,
Jonny

Jonny,

I think you may have to bring the car into a dealership for them to figure out what is going on with your NAV. Could be a defective GPS since I had this same issue with my former G35 Coupe. Hope you get it fixed soon and please let us know what the solution was once you get it done..

From what I have read/been told - the NAV computer has gone bad. Apparently they are $1500 from Lexus

Guess I will just do without/use my Blackberry for NAV. That sucks.
