Problem With Nav Computer Rx400H

[6OLDE]

Hi guys,

As the title of this topic suggests, i think my nav computer has given up the ghost. I have a 2005 RX400h and haven't had any issues with the nav before. It went into lexus manchester for its 70k service about three weeks ago and less than a week ago it went into lexus manchester again for a wheel alignment as it was pulling to the left. Since then, i've had an error message on the screen saying, 'insert correct DVD' followed by some text in Japanese. I've also lost many options on the nav computer too.

I removed the nav disc, cleaned it, replaced it but to no avail. My brother and i then stripped the boot down disconnected the wires at the back of the unit, left it for half an hour and reconnected it...............black screen followed by the same error message.

I'm busy for the next few weeks, so ive sent an email to lexus manchester asking if they can collect the car from my residence and find out what the fault is.

I fear its going to need a new nav computer as i cant hear it spinning up and with my past experience with bmw nav computers i think i'm looking at about £1000 for a new one. Unlike bmw there isnt an abundance of nav computers on eBay either.

If anyone has any advice please reply. I will keep you guys posted............
