Just reset my battery after reboot it worked have a lot of new features and options in Nav Menu now, anyone else notice?

 

So it looks like west coast is the area affected. I didn't have any problems the last 3 days.

 

No, it was nationwide. I'm in Atlanta & I know my deal has been buried with issues.

 

I guess I got lucky? It didn't affect mine at all, never knew about it until I read these.

 

Hey, CL Members

How are you, guys/gals? Just giving you a heads up that I had my Navigation/GPS System reset this morning. I was the 3rd car in line @630am, it still took 2+ hours to get my RCF back and drove off at around 9am. I had my service done @Longo Lexus in El Monte, California. Thank you very much for wasting my time, Lexus. Please shoot the dumbass who "Fu##ed Up" the programming system. The employees were telling me they had over 900 vehicles coming in yesterday to fix the issue. Lots of unhappy Lexus Drivers and the surrounding dealerships in Southern California were sending everyone to Longo Lexus. I tried asking for a free oil change but no luck.

Regards,
Akiho (Bruce)

 

Thanks for the update Bruce. I will go to Keyes in Van Nuys this Saturday and see if they can give me a free oil change!

 

I too was affected, just drove up to their service line along with 10+ other Lexus vehicles.
Took them no more than 30 mins to reset the vehicle. All you had to do was sign their form and they inform you that a receipt will be sent in the mail.
Very awesome how they responded and fixed everything so fast.

 

I did summer research at China Lake several years ago. Cool place.

 

What were the features/options that you noticed?

 

Got this e-mail from Lexus.

You may or may not have recently experienced difficulties related to the navigation display in your Lexus. We apologize for any inconvenience.

Errant data broadcast by our traffic and weather data service provider was not handled as expected by the microcomputer in the vehicle navigation head unit (center display) of 2014-16 Model Year Lexus vehicles.

In some situations, this issue can cause the head unit to restart repeatedly, affecting operation of the navigation system, audio and climate control features, and the hands-free mobile phone functions. The data suspected to be the source of the error was corrected Tuesday, June 7, at 11:00 pm PST.

The correction is a forced reset and clearing of the errant data from the system.

Lexus owners experiencing these issues should visit their dealer for a complimentary system reset and a confirmation of the system. Until then, owners of affected vehicles should exercise additional caution when driving. We regret any inconvenience you may have experienced.

I have a 2001 LS 430 and I have this note on the note on the navigation screen "NO disk detected" I call the dealer and they said I need to replace the Navigation disk, does anyone knows where to get it and which version is the adequate for that model ????

Thanks

I own a LS460 and my car just started resetting all the info on the dash and the GPS screen every few seconds too. I tried disconnecting the positive of the battery for an hour and reconnecting. It didn't seem to make any difference. I have an appointment with Lexus tomorrow and they said they will charge $200/hr. to diagnose. it could take about 3 hours. From then any parts needed. OUCH!!!
