first Sat Nav glitch

[jenners]

Typical. Responded to a post on Friday saying the sat nav had given me no problems - then setting off to Marriott Hollins Hall in W.Yorks and the sat nav went loopy:?:. At one point the screen went completely blank and reported that the position marker was 9999 miles from car position (thought I was in the air at that point:lol:).

Then I remembered that the car got delivered back from the body to the dealer on the back of a lorry - which must throw the sat nav out completely :?:.

Anyway, chose the callibrate option to see if it did the trick and it seems to of settled down again.

One gripe about the sat nav is that it must be possible to allow the passenger to operate the sat nav whilst the car is in motion - I know there are implications but there must be a way !

Touch wood, no probs with mine yet. Just need a more up to date CD-ROM, if they ever release another!

What's stopping them operating it? I thought the control panel was between the front seats?

[Jimmy Ten Toes]

The car must be stationary to reprogramme destinations.

[jenners]

if you go above about 5 mph then all the options are greyed out.

I don't have that problem with my after market SatNav.

There is an option to switch the safemode off if I want the passenger to operate.

Usual disclaimers are displayed.

There is an option to suppress the road speed inhibit in the savnav's maintenance mode. Also a few other options.

My dealer declined to give me the code to get into the programme - they know how I love to fiddle with things! If anyone can sweeten their dealer please let me know.

If the system is similar to the DVD system in my 430, you can choose home and any previous destinations without the car being stationary.:)

Ahh, Lexus must have disabled this on their cars at the open road, because I was able to play with the nav when my wife was driving.
