07 - Navigation start screen
Is there a fix to stop the first warning screen to pop up and one have to agree with on a 07? I tried to have the dealer do something about it when I had my valve recall done but he told me only the 08 and on.......

Yes, don't turn it on!
Yea, you have to upgrade. I also have an '07 and I think since I'm going to keep the car for a while, I'm going to have the upgrade done when I have the valve spring job done.

yes, either you update the hdd data to later version
or you can get products like vaistech which can automatically disable it for you (and you get ipod integration as well

It's amazing to me that some of these Lexus service advisors don't know squat about the cars. Don't they get trained? It seems that those who spend a little time on this site know more than the SA's. Pretty sad.

I have found them to be hit and miss.
I currently only use JR at Crown in Ontario, Ca. JR was a certified mechanic for 5 years before he switched over to being a SA. It makes a huge difference in my experience. I have found the quality of the SAs to be more important than the various dealerships I have been to or what Lexus says is or isnt their policy. A great SA can really be an advocate for your service.

I know you expect more from an SA, but just to reiterate your point about the lack of knowledge in general.

I test drove a BMW 750Li just before Christmas. I was stunned at how little the salesman knew about the vehicle. I was more familiar than him and I didn't even study that much about the car. I had to tell him how many gears the automatic transmission had!

The funniest part is he takes me all around the parking lot looking for the car, and it turns out it's parked in the showroom about 5 feet from the guy's desk!! I couldn't believe it.

What version unlocks the nav & phone in motion controls. will it also allow dvd in motion? an do they cover the version gaps.. eg. will version 9.1 bridge the gap from 6.1(which i have in my 07 w ML) an how much does it cost?
are there any major drawbacks?

I don't believe there is any nav version that will unlock the nav & phone in motion. You need the aftermarket override module from Prestigious. I have it and it works great. Yes it also allows you to watch dvds in motion too.
