Default Plugs for DVD player?



Hi all - my DVD player for the map has not been working and today I tried to troubleshoot it. The “door” will not open and it seems there’s no power to it. Before I plug in the two things pictured into each other, Can someone tell me that this is a plug/jumper for the DVD player? Seems like a silly question I know… Thanks!

Yes, it should be for the NAV. Looks like you may have water damage.

Thanks. I will try plugging those two in. No idea how they got unplugged, maybe just road vibration over time?

Disconnecting those plugs disabled the lexus link which is no longer supported, leave them as they are. If you reconnect these plugs like they were you will get a voice every time you turn the car on that there is a problem with the lexus link.

Thanks for the heads up, Jharris! I’m glad I didn’t plug that back in! So far it seems like my NAV DVD player unit is dead, no power to it. Looks like there are some on eBay for about 125. Is it difficult to take the old one out and install a replacement unit? In looking at pictures of the back of the unit, it looks like there’s three or four plugs on the back that just need to be connected.... but is it hard to get the old unit out?
