So, hi!!
We have just bought our first Lexus, a 2000 X LS430 from my father in law. He has had the car since 2002 and has just changed to a 2005 model, he was going to trade this one in but offered us first dibs at £5K :-) It's done 120k miles with full Lexus service history and an extended warrenty which runs out in May. He had it serviced, valeted and new tyres fitted for it's transfer. We had just told him he was going to be a grandfather for the first time so I think he did us a somewhat generous deal. We are extreemly grateful as after driving it for a few weeks we have fallen in love with it. We are only in our late 20's and couldn't have dreamt of owning such a luxurious car if we hadn't been given this opportunity. It should only see about 10k miles a year so petrol shouldn't be too much if an issue, we just need to be sensible!!
Appart from the usual bubbling of alloy paint, you would think the car is brand new as it's immaculate. It has the 'Premium pack' and cream interior.
Here's a pic-
What I wanted help with is the now surplus traffic-master sat nav gubbins. We now longer want to subscribe to the service as we don't really need the normal sat-nav! I seem to think the device in the picture below is the transmitter and ariel, but I'm paranoid this might actually be the original Lexus gubbins and wanted to check before I remove it. I also need to know how to get at it, it appears both wires (arrowed) join into a control box which is hidden behind the dash above the glove-box, is it easy enough to gain access?
I know I could just leave it but I hate to have clutter when it isn't needed, I even like to remove ALL stickers!!
Thanks for any help or advice,
Anthony
