How To Open The Lexus Sat Nav

[sahal]

Hi,

This is my first time on this forum and would like to say hi to all of you. I have a lexus is200 se with Sat Nav. For the last couple of years the Sat Nav has worked flawlessly, until a few weeks ago. The sat nav on's and off's. It comes on for a while, then goes off completely. If I'm lucky it might stay on and work perfectly for a whole journey, or sometimes it just does not come on at all!

I went to my local lexas garage- They told me that I needed to replace my sat nav screen-£1000

I then went to another lexas garage- They told me I needed to replace the cd rom reader in my sat nav- £1000

It seems that both garages are just giving me the cost of replacing the whole system. However I believe that theres just a loose wire within the system.

Could someone please tell me how to open my sat nav system, so I can see if what the lexus garages said was true, or whether i need to connect two wires together?

Also if anyone knows what the problem might be, I would much appreciate his/her help.

Regards

Sahal

Sure someone else will help more but from memory when I had phone kit installed. Theres a long blanking strip in front of the screen. Remove that and then there are 2 bolts.

Please check first though!
