They were on a 2001 RX300. Not really sure how best to describe them, are they not a standard style for RX's?

Hi Peter, No joy with the sat/nav CD I'm afraid. The guys at Lexus tell me they tested a uk CD on the car and it didn't work. I'm still looking into TV conversions and will keep you posted. Good luck with the paint kit. Regards, Joe

Hello all, I was at a Lexus dealer today and noticed how much nicer the tail lights on more recent cars look than on my 1998 RX300. I was wondering if any of you know where I can pick up a set of replacements and how much they're likely to cost? I would prefer not to go directly through Lexus. I'd be very grateful for any advice. Thanks, Joe

Hi Peter, I have the same problem with my '98 RX300 Harrier. I am taking the car to a dealer next Tuesday for a service and the engineers have agreed to look into this for me and perhaps test an english CD. My understanding is that the menus will remain in Japanese, but you should be able to select UK destinations via the sat/nav; that is, of course, if it works!! Have you got your TV converted from NTSC to PAL yet? Regards Joe

Hi Colin, I spoke to the guy in the service department at Lexus in Croydon, he transfered me to a man in the parts department who told me that only DVDs are available now. Neither of them had any idea about possible fixes, could be that they don't want to get involved with imports? Joe

Hello all. I've been doing some more Internet research on updating my Japanese sat/nav to work in the UK. I've spoken to Lexus who were not able to tell me much but said they see no reason why a CD update would not do the trick. My new problem is that CD updates are no longer available - they are all DVD. I'm desparate to try this and as such am prepared to offer a case of beer to anyone who agrees to lend me a CD to test - now that is desparation! :D . I've got a 1998 Lexus RX300 (Harrier). I'm crossing my fingers!! Regards, Joe

Many thanks Pintail2432, picked up the manual today. Heartily recommend www.importcarhandbooks.com if anyone needs one for their import. Still plugging away at the sat nat/tv issue, I will sort it! :) Joe

Good morning. I purchased my first RX300 yesterday and am delighted with it. It' s an R reg 1998 jap import. Needless to say I'm a bit confused by the menu and a little dissapointed that the TV and sat nav don't function. I see from previous postings that other RX300 drivers have had these problems and was wondering if there is a real solution. I have trawled the web unsuccessfully and don't know any other RX300 owners. There is talk of a CDROM which may resolve the issue. Also, what are my chances of getting an owners manual in PDF format? Any responses or advice would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks, Joe
