Although this is my 1st Lexus, my father owned an LS400 for five years, changed to a Merc CLK...which lasted all of 8 months, and 2 weeks ago, took delivery of a 3 year old is200se Auto in Platinum Ice with Exmor interior..very nice!! So much so, that one week later, i ended up trading in my Peugeot 406 coupe 3.0 for a V plate is200 SE Navigation in yep you guessed it..Platinum with Exmor interior ... lol. This being my 25th car in 24 years, in all makes and models, the one thing that did impress me, was the quality of service given by the dealer...what a pleasure to do business with...and obviously worthy of their placement in the JD Power surveys since 2001 if this is representative of Lexus dealers. One quirky problem with my car, which has stumped the garage, and may require a new sat nav screen under warranty...is that the screen goes very orange, although if the screen is tilted, the full colour returns occasionally?? Has any other owners had this problem at all? my dealer is perfectly happy to replace it under warranty if they are unable to find a wiring loom problem. And at £1100 i have no complaints on someone else stumping up the cash for it...lol. Finally, does anyone know of any other outlets for the Lexus Sat nav cds, other than paying £155 through Lexus?? Anyway..great site, and hope to gain useful tips and exchange info through here..regards to all !!

Had this prob with my old car. Apprently a known problem caused by the wire ribbon cracking over time as the screen opens and closes.
I had 1 screen changed uder warrenty, though I have also read about people doing their own fix by taping up the ribbon.
Get it fixed asap it will drive you mad and eventually the screen will fail completely.
RE: discs, try ebay, a few have been on there.
