do your guided bars work? in the camera menu, there are 5/6 screens, all for the calibration of the system that draws a space for you. if you got it working, how? it will help others who are stuck and cant get a picture.

ps, dont blindly believe the bars. i just ploughed into a 2006 mercedes E320 in a car park. the system said the car would fit. its a black se-l, with scratched rear quarter. lol.£££. merc repairs are pretty expensive.

Has anyone else experienced this problem and if so has it been corrected?


Thanks
I had this same issue with my 06 RX400h. Finally isolated it to my radar detector interfearing with the GPS signals. It was location dependent...I moved the radar detector up higher on the windshield, and the problem went away. Do you use a radar detector? If so try unplugging it and see if that helps.

I had this issue in Valdosta, FL. I finally found that it had to do with the AFB there. Apparently the GPS is dumbed down around the area to protect the base. I spoke with several other owners of various vehicles equipped with NAV and they all had the same problems. So is there a military base near your area?

Default Also had nav. problem (with voice).

Have found a "work around" but want to discuss it further. I'm not sure if I'm in the right place or following rules - I'm brand new to this forum. I have a 2012 ES350. If someone could point me in the right direction, please. Thanks, Tom
