Default Touch screen refuses touch.

Just picked up an 07 350 GS, the touch screen does not recognize any touch at all. I can still navigate VIA the buttons, I just cannot utilize any of the touch functions. Is there a known fix for this, or is this a situation where the whole GPS head unit needs to be replaced?

Thanks..

more than likely the digitizer on the screen needs to be replaced. I hate the same issue. This is the cheapest way of fixing this issue. The dealer will quote you to replace the entire navigation. Read this thread.https://www.clublexus.com/forums/is-...l#post10220793

Thank you I will give it a try before I order a new head unit. Looks like a common problem.

If I do repair it will I be able to stream audio via Bluetooth like I could in my 10is250?

It depends what year unit you have. 2010+ have streaming Bluetooth. My 08 460 does not.

Well I sure am happy I asked that question first, there's no need in me getting the unit fixed if I can't stream Bluetooth. Now I'll have to look into getting something else to replace the old unit. Thanks for the info

Correct. I did this same repair on an '08 IS250. I used the circuit writer first, and it lasted for a few weeks. I replaced the digitizer and it's still going strong after over a year.

I was offered another option today, what would I need to install a manual air conditioning control unit? Like if I wanted to make my vehicle a non GPS. 350 I would need the manual control panel, and anyone know what part number that is or where to find one?
