Was at Newport lexus today getting some things done and had an 07 ES loaner with the new nav software and screen.

I have a 06 GS 430 and use the nav override (speaker, bottom corner, etc.) all the time so the first thing I do when I get in the ES is get to the speaker menu and perform the overide so I can enter in while driving.

It worked just like mine.

I recall seeing some posts about the 07 GS not being able to do this???

So the ES can do it but they locked out the GS people? Just curious.

Seems like the nav would all be the same...

On another note, I hate my nav screen compared to the newer versions.

Yup my 07 GS350 will not allow screen override. Must be different on the ES

The 07 GS has 6.1 firmware which has a different menu and doesn't allow the override. The ES still has the 5.1. There's a big discussion going on in the do it yourself guide.

Got it.

I did not search but that really blows becasue I would be pissed without this feature.


There has to be a way for service to get to it for on road tests, it seems we have not found this person yet...

This is the same way with 07 RX350's with 5th gen NAV.

Could cut some wires and get it disabled as well as the DVD/BT hack if you're up to it, again, use the search function!

A lil' confused by your post - you have a '06 GS430 and your Nav screen is not like the '07 ES or GS ??? AFAIK, the 2IS, 3GS and 4ES all have the GenV Nav with the higher res nav screen. I can't imagine the Nav screen in an '06 GS would look/seem differrent . . .

Negative-

The '06 had a gen 4 nav screen which looks fine until you see the gen 5.

I believe this is for all the GS models, I do not know about the others...

^^^ Gotcha. My 06 IS has the GenV Nav with the 5.1 firmware, so I have the best of both worlds The 07 IS has the 6.1 firmware, so they no longer have the Nav override function . . .

Well, if you do the Nav Hack on the 6.1, you'll have the best of all three worlds! - We don't need no stinkin screen override!

Anyone find a fix to override the GS 400h 07 Nav??

If you mean override as in "touch screen" then that would still be a negative.

But then there is also no GS400h Nav to override.
