Minor annoyances with the radio presets
I have all my presets set up on my radio & blocked together. Satellite music channels, then satellite sports channels, satellite news channels, then local terrestrial radio, then satellite sport game specific channels (SEC/PGA/MLB/NFL).
Tuning through these presets on the steering wheel goes opposite common logic. to go from preset 1 through 5, you would think to press the up arrow. Instead, you press the down arrow to go through these (it follows the top-down way the presets are laid out on the screen rather than the sequential numeric order). However, when using the up/down buttons on the center console just above the storage area, the arrows do the opposite. Up cycles from 1 to 5 while down follows the way the presets are laid out on the screen. Does anyone know why these are laid out like this?
Another mild annoyance is when I tune off of a station that is a preset. Since Prince died, there is a station dedicated to just his music that I have been listening to, but it is not a preset. When I'm on a non-preset channel and then press the preset up/down buttons on the steering wheel, it jumps to what seems to be a random preset. Not the first one, or the last one I was on. It seems like it jumps to a random one. Does anyone know the logic behind how the radio jumps you back into the presets?
EDIT: This is a 2016 Premium with a non-ML radio & nav

I remember this coming up. I had to dig deep, but here you go.

Since you bought your car in the USA, the maps on that card, etc. were probably pre-loaded with North America info. 16 gb is not enough to hold the entire world's map, along with all the points of interest, etc. Try seeing if a card from a Lexus dealer in Russia will work; it might even have a different serial number, if those cards are indeed tied to the region where Lexus sells the vehicle. Keep in mind that may not work either, unless you can change the language on your Navigation to Russian. Otherwise, just use Google Maps on your phone, like me. Good luck.

Gotcha. Seems there is some consistency with eht steering wheel controls. I just hate that the up/down arrows have opposite meaning between the wheel & the center console.
Oh well, if that's the biggest issue I ever have with the GX, I'll be happy!

When you take your navigation card out, the screen gives the message that "SD card not detected". So if you are not getting this message, then obviously its reading the card but since there is no matching maps for that location, its blacked out

Yes, if you have an I Phone, go to settings/Bluetooth. When you see your GX on the device list, touch the I next to it and turn notifications on, it will light up green and you're good to go.

Navigation restart/freeze on 15' GX
I'm just wondering if anybody has any navigation issues such as freeze or restart by itself on a 15' GX? In the past 2 years, I probably had about 2-3 times where the navigation froze or restarted by itself. I was thinking about taking it to the dealer but it's 65 miles away. If people on this forum never experienced this issue, then I will definitely take it to the dealer.

It's happened to me maybe 2x in the last 8 months. I never made it a big deal and it always worked itself out...but since I brought the car into routine service 2 days ago, I told the service rep of this and he said it might be due to a missed update. He had the service tech look into it and did confirm I missed at least one update. He said it should be all good now. Guess I'll have to wait and see.
