NAVI can tell who's been messing with your car
I think you know what I am getting at.
2 times so far, once at the Lexus Dealer and just recently at the body shop, when picking up my car, I find that a coordinate has been entered into my NAVI that I have never seen before.
The first time was obvious, because it was in my Marked Point log. The 2nd time just recently, they deleted it off the Marked Point Log, but it still SHOWS on the PREVIOUS DESTINATION LOG!!!!!
I can't tell if it someone actually drove to this unknown location to me (I should have logged in the mileage), but people can just enter a location in and start routing, without driving the car and it shows up in the PREVIOUS DESTINATION screen.
You can also keep track of the mileage more precisely with the TRIP INFO, which can't be reset as well as your odometer reading.
So those with NAVI, keep an eye out and those with no NAVI, keep a better eye out.
When you leave your baby alone, someone is always playing with it when you are not there. DAMNIT don't these people actually work??????

Don't let a couple of bad apples **** you off. Most people are just curious. Some of us do work, and on your car!

I know the feeling I have the Kenwood DVD,TV,Navaid setup and every time I take it in for a car wash I find all my seeting off from where I set them. I hate that crap.

Thanks for the encouraging words, I still have the faith, but when you are 2 for 2 in people playing around with your car, you start to lose hope. I guess this is one of the many sacrifices well have to endure by owning such a great car.

GS300 - car washes for me are no problem, but dropping your car off for a day or more and leaving it in someone elses hands for a while is like leaving your baby behind. I am too protective of my GS and it is my baby!

Hey it's good to see you again and thanks for saying hello. How are you doing these days and it's always good to see an good friend.
You still have to post more photos of that incredible GS of yours, so you can share the joy with the rest of us.
Hope all is well and talk to you soon.
Damn, it's cold outside already!
I still want LTuned, but NJ stinks, no one around here to do it. ALL Lexus Dealerships, should really offer this upgrade / optional service.

i don't think i've ever had any problems with this... although i hardly ever check the "marked points" or whatever that thing is called. BUT i did find out that my stupid cousin put on an extra 300 miles on my car when i was vacationing in Europe last summer! i noticed that he filled up my gas tank 3 times...
i didn't think that the service department at lexus dealerships mess w/ nav. systems. i've never had a problem w/ that...
