Nav screen

This popped up yesterday on my way home from the grocery.

Sigh

 

Uh oh. -- Maybe because it's cold?

What have you done since to try and resolve?

Eject and re-insert?

Is your disk the original one that came with car?

Please keep us posted.

 

It might be time for an upgrade to a Garmin.

 

Wasn't that cold here. Mid 50's.

Haven't done anything with it as of yet. I'll prolly eject it and wipe it off. Failing that I'll put the original, now nearly 20 year old disk back in.

This disk is a cheap knock off from eBay.

 

Tempting.

Or, it's impedous to get off my rear and finish my raspberry pi head unit I started so long ago. I'd post a link but search here seems broken at present.

The parts are all sitting in a bin looking sad.

 

Doobs this happened to me a fair number of times while using a copied updated nav disc. I got rid of the copied disc, inserted the old one from I think a 2009 update and the problem went away. If you use your phone for Waze ( I do ), the edition of your DVD nav becomes irrelevant.

 

Yeah, some owners have complained of issues from the ones they've gotten off of eBay.

I ended up getting the OEM latest version I could get for my model year during the SEP '25 sale at Treasure Coast Lexus or Bell Lexus and paid $130.53.

It's listed at $163.16 at both Bell and TC, and $165.88 at Prestige Lexus in NJ right now. I always wait for sales on higher priced parts to save as much as I can.

I understand these maps are old and not updated for other owners that have recently revised roads, etc.

Thankfully, the last major changes to roads in my locale was done before the last version, so we're okay with the GPS map displayed.

Besides, we can always use our phones when traveling to areas not updated by map.

Just in case you need the OEM part number for your version of map, I'm including a guide below:

 

one more thing - I found my "Nav Disc dirty" issues were when it was super hot out - so in the middle of summer. It never happened when it was cold

 

Bless your heart, but I'm not shelling out $170 for a disk of what is now a nearly 10 year old data.

I'll go the Garmon route before I do that.

Has anyone tried one of these?



Cheers

 

Lexus SC430 mods (https://www.sc430mods.com) does a swap of the display with a full CarPlay/Android Auto screen with backup camera, but it's about $700 and you have to pull the screen out yourself (and install the backup camera). I've been thinking about going that route, so if you do, I'd love to hear how it goes.

 

Do you mean Bless your heart in a good way or the TX and Southern way?! — Hahaha JK

I completely understand your reasoning, and if we opted not to get the Nav update from SC430Mods.com as @RhodeKille mentioned, we wouldn’t have bought the disk update.

We just decided to get it to have the latest version in the SC, and also because our roads haven’t changed much in that time. We could always use our phones if needed.

We did get the backup camera and Bluetooth adapter from SC430Mods so we’re good now.

We’ve had Garmin in the past, with no issues. Let us know what you decide and how it works out.


Plenty of satisfied customers have gotten the Nav Update from SC430Mods so if you decide to get it, you would most likely be another satisfied customer 👍

 

LOL!

I'm originally from New Orleans, so I'll leave it to you to interpret....

Appreciate the feedback.

 

Doobs,
We are in a forum and no one can tell your meaning.

Meaning of "Bless Your Heart"
Understanding the tone and context is crucial to interpreting the phrase correctly.

"Bless your heart" is a common phrase in the Southern United States with multiple meanings. Its interpretation largely depends on the context and tone in which it is spoken.

Expressions of Sympathy

• Genuine Sympathy: Often used to express kindness or empathy. For example, when someone is going through a tough time, saying "bless your heart" can convey sincere concern.
• Supportive Context: It can be a comforting response, indicating that the speaker cares about the other person's feelings.

Backhanded Compliments or Insults

• Condescension: Sometimes, it is used sarcastically to imply that someone is foolish or naive. In this case, it can come off as a subtle insult.
• Mitigating Insults: The phrase may precede a criticism, softening the blow of what follows.

Variations in Usage

• Whispered Context: When said in a conspiratorial whisper, it often refers to someone not present, suggesting a shared understanding or gossip.
• Empathetic Tone: A heartfelt "bless your heart" can lead to a warm response, such as a thank you.

 

Oh, I took it sarcastically, but All in Good Fun -- at least I hope that's how Doobs meant it...

I gave more info than I prob needed to but it was more for people that might be interested in getting the Nav update.

I wouldn't have paid full price, so glad I was able to get on sale -- still it is and was expensive even on sale and not worth 10+ yr old maps.

Personally, I just wanted the latest version in our SC since our local roads haven't changed much since the update.

But... realistically, we prob didn't need it and will use our phones anyway when taking road trips.

 

Geeze,

Read the post.

It was well meaning.....

Cheers,
