91K here, no issues on my 2008 350. How many miles are on yours and more importantly, how much is the repair?

I noticed a trend on the CL forums that the alternators tend to give up their ghosts after the 8 year mark (my 07 IS350 alternator had to be replaced about a year ago and my 08 GX470 alternator was replaced several months ago).

The alternator in my '06 spit the bit about 2 years ago and that seems about par for the course. I just bought the part and replaced it myself.

Could the low voltage on my alternator cause my navigation not to turn on due to low output?
