usually its the Ribbon Cable that attaches to the screen

if its under warrenty take it back

if not

then take it to bits and try to get a new ribbon from somewhere like www.cpc.co.uk

I have exactly the same problem!!!,

And as I initially reported the problem under warranty (my car is out of warranty now), It has had a complete new screen and ribbon cable, and has been looked at about five times, each time no difference. The problem started as intermittent, but now it will just keep flashing different colours all the time, especially when you press tilt. The map is just about still visible through the colour changes, but they are quite severe, from purple, red blue etc.

I have had this problem for over a year, and lexus have had the area manager in and basically said we're not going to fix it!?!?!? :tsktsk:

I am now stuck?, Does anyone know what the problem could be?

Thanks

Toby

When you say changing colour what exactly do you mean because the latest dvd sat nav's have a seasonal settings where they change at certain times

Yeah sound like ribbon, drove me mad on my old IS. But if you search I think it is quite easily fixed.

Brettster, do you know specifically which ribbon you need from cpc.co.uk?
