Navigation does the 6.1 navigation have a override (to program it while the car is in motion) Also is there a way to increase the text display while using sirius satellite radio

  • MavericksF15 Aug 23, 2008

    The Lexus RX350 has the only navigations system that will not let you use it while driving. you must pull over to the side of the road and reprogram the system.
    I was almost sideswiped by an 18 wheeler not once but three times while stopping to reprogram my RX350. 
    I love the car but the navigation system sucks. I am probably going to spend $3500 and put in an aftermarket GPS system that I can use while driving unless Lexus reprograms their software to stop this nonsense. I would even go as far as to sign a waiver  and hold Lexus not libel if an accident occurred while using the nav system in my RX 350.

05 navigator shift lock actuator problem wont come out of park. i would like to know how to override so i dont have to pay a tow bill thank you

You need to remove the silver trim plate from around the shift console. This is done by gently prying it up using a screwdrive or similar tool (sometimes this can be done using only your fingers). At the top left corner of the grey shift cover you'll see a the word "OVERRIDE". There is a small plastic cover that needs to be rotated out of the way and then you can insert a small screwdrive/fingernail file or similar device into the slot and push down. This will allow the shifter to be moved out of PARK.

How do I program a Cadillac 2004 Deville remote key fob?

came across this, maybe this will help out...this is for analog gauges....

With the ignition in the "RUN" position (engine does not necessarily need to be running, but it will work either way).
Press OFF and WARMER (or the OFF and PASSENGER WARMER buttons) on climate control panel simultaneously. Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) will light all telltales, then go blank. System is now in DIAGNOSTIC MODE. After diagnostic mode cycles through and stops, press FAN DOWN button until "RFA?" is displayed, then press FAN UP. If "RFA DATA?" is displayed, press FAN DOWN. If "RFA OVERRIDE?" is displayed press FAN UP button.

If "RFA S00 NO OVERRIDE" is displayed, press FAN DOWN. If "RFA S01 PROGRAM FOB #1" is displayed, press FAN UP button.

IPC will show "0" on right side of Drivers Information Center (DIC) display. Press WARMER button on the climate control unit until "99" is displayed.

Press and hold TRUNK button on the transmitter. While holding TRUNK button, press LOCK button and hold both buttons for a total of 3 seconds. Locks will cycle when programming is complete. If transmitter is not programmed within 30 seconds after entering "99" on the display, system will default and you must begin at step #2 again.
To program second transmitter, press FAN DOWN button until "RF S02 PROGRAM FOB #2" is displayed, then press FAN UP. Repeat step #4.

To exit system, press AUTO, MODE UP, MODE DOWN, or RESET button.

What would cause my engine to hesitate when in motion?

A bad plug, If the car is sitting at idle it doesn't require a lot to keep the plugs firing, so when you drive the spark increases more frequent and one of the plugs may not be able to fire on every stroke at the best it should causing a mis-fire. If you change these, use a OEM type because some of these platinum and higher rated plugs will make a 4 or 6 cylinder runs worse. I've seen this happen quiet often.

My 2010 Lexus RX350 Navigation System is responding VERY SLOW!

If Lexus can't fix this there is nothing anyone here can do for it. Anything that can be done needs the proper scanning and reprogramming equipment only Lexus has. Being that the car is new when enough people complain about this they will come up with a fix, Their may be a recall on it in the future. But for now your going to have to live with it or trade the car in. I know you did'nt want to hear this but but if some yahoo directs you wrong it will cost you hundreds just to get the programming back to the way it is today. Some navigation systems if you disconnect the battery you will have to go to the dealer to get them to reprogram it. Use lots of caution when guessing. New cars are not made for the average back yard mechanic to touch.
