Gotten me a lovely 600h. Very pleased, and when the Bluetooth connection just, well, connected I was over the moon. One thing the salesrep said that "if I had a blackberry curve" then the phone book would also sync. I can't get that feature working with my phone.

Has anyone been able to sync the contacts with an Android phone (TMobile G1 or a Vodafone HTC Magic) ?

aw, crap. After waiting for a little bit, I traded it in. Now I see the interest ! Aw crap. Again :(

never mind. thanks anyways.

If you're going to spend £45k on a car why are you messing about with your old one. Take the trade in and spend the time you would have wasted trying to sell it to earn some more money.

Sounds daft, but I suppose I want it to find a decent home ;) It's been a very reliable, lovely car and I feel quite guilty about just trading her in for a new model :)

Looking to buy a used 600h, and currently have a LS400 '98. Been offered a trade in of between £600 and £1000 - so would it be worthwhile selling it privately or taking the Part-ex ? Had a service 2 weeks ago, MOT till August 2010.

Always start with the simplest things first. On my Camry the SatNav crashed once where none of the buttons, the drive, radio or anything worked. I went to Toyota who wanted some money to spend time looking at it, I didn't bother, all I did was take each fuse out of the fuse box under the bonnet until I found the one that cut the power to the unit. Can't remember which one unfortunately off hand. After I found the right one, I plugged it back in and the system rebooted, came up with a load of random stuff on the screen then it functioned normally.

Thanks - I already have tried that, but will try again.

Does anyone know how to bypass the satnav part, so that the main computer will at least boot. I *need* to change the default audio settings ! ;)

if the is200 cd based one is the same then i have one of these..

Oooh. Can anyone confirm that they are the same ?

/me goes a-googling ..

Daft question.......are the cd's the right way up?

heh. Yeah, I've tried it both ways ;)

Good evening, all. First post here, so go gentle on the newbie :)

I've got a 98 S reg LS400. Wonderful car. Except now the satnav computer thingy in the boot has gone walkabouts.

Dealer says the the component is broken, and wants 3.5k for a new one !

I know that I can buy a tom-tom, but my biggest problem is that because the satnav won't boot, I can't get into the main computer and change settings, audio settings etc.

Can I bypass the satnav computer and get my main computer up and running again ?

The error "Cannot read CD-ROM. Please check CD" appears on the screen. The unit ejects and accepts the CD, and it appears to spin up, but nothing after that.

Does anyone know where I can get a (very) reasonably priced replacement ?

TIA.
