Default 4-Zone / Rear Seat Climate Controls 2008 LS460L

Hello Everyone!

I have a weird problem that the dealer cannot readily identify a solution. They want to keep my car for a few days to figure out, so I thought I would try here first...

I have a 2008 LS360L with 4-zone climate control. For whatever reason, the rear seat controls and display do not work for climate control. The controls still work for radio, rear seat adjustment and window shades, but climate functions are unoperable.

Additionally, the 4-zone buttons on the nav touchscreen are now missing in the climate menu. There used to be left / right passenger settings and then a button to switch to rear seat settings. These options have all disappeared from the menu.

I can press the 4-zone physical button on dash and manually change temperature settings for driver or passenger by pressing physical driver / passenger temperature up / down buttons.

The only thing I can attribute to this is I had the dealer do a map upgrade to the nav system. All other features / functions work, but the timing is somewhat suspect... They really do not believe this upgrade caused the problem.

Does anyone have any ideas? Are there hidden menus I may have hit to deactivate this feature?

Thanks!

We have the saeme car. I'm not near it right now, but if you hit the Climate button in your Nav, there should a button that will come up on the screen to enable the Rear controls, as far as I can remember. If this is the issue, it would be consistent with the fact that you had an upgrade done.

I also agree it might have something todo with the upgrade.
