My mistake, I did not read carefully.

 

Just a thought, are you sure that your subscription has all the stations on the website? there are different levels of subscription with different channels in the packages

 

Thanks to all that replied, I guess that Lexus feels that their drivers cannot be trusted to use their brains...

 

To all the fairness, that's not really Lexus' fault (or any other car makers for that matter), it is ever growing liberal society and media that made more and more manufacturers seeking the "politically correct" approaches to anything that might result "liability" claims. You are correct that drivers should be responsible for all the actions and consequences. However, as the way more and more we are seeing, it has become the trend to put responsibilities on anyone else but self. It is pretty sad to see baby stroller manufacturer has to put the warning label to remind user ".... make sure to remove the baby before folding the stroller...".

Let me make a prediction: As much as everyone is working on self-driven cars for proofing the technology and ability to do so, but the first one who wants to make is as a consumer product will be the first one to be bankrupted; or you might be able to afford the car, but won't be able to afford the insurance costs Until something changes fundamentally for everyone to be responsible for their own action, we will likely to continue go down that dark road for quite some time...... Who knows, I might one day suing automotive manufacturers for having the steering wheel instead of bike handle that caused permanent brain damage

 

Just like the crappy mandated 10% fresh air that goes into the cabin of your vehicle, even if set to recirculate.
(The concensus behind it was to prevent drivers from driving long periods of time on recirculate and having an abundance of carbon dioxide build up in the car and not enough oxygen, especially if passengers are present.)

We all can agree we want 100% closure when we pass thru fire smoke or other noxiously offending conditions.

 

THAT was what I was driving at with my question.

 

Yeah, unfortunately Lexus sticks us with these defective systems. Sometimes the voice input works surprisingly well, sometimes it's horrifically bad.

 

Nah it's Toyota's fault for being a bunch of weenies. There are still several manufacturers that let you manually input a destination.

 

That's okay, I'm illiterate and can't use it anyway.

 

2017 GX 460. Is it possible to listen to the radio without the darn navigation on ?

 

There’s a feature “Switch Screen” or something like that under Setup, turn that off and it will stay on whichever screen you’re on.

 

You are talking about the voice guidance, correct?

 

I'm a proud new GX460 owner having made that decision over the 4Runner. I am wondering if that when the radio is on do I always have to have navigation on also? This is frustrating because our 2016 Tacoma has which ever is selected. Oh, my Gx460 is a 2017 model, sorry. Thanks in advance. doccash

 

Go to Setup, under General, there is an option "Auto Screen Change". Turn it off, it will stay whichever the screen you have selected.

 

hzhao, Thank you very much for your accurate reply. doccash
