I got a original 10.1 disc I will see if I can get my hands on another disc. Thanks for the advice bro

I like to thank technique and the others for your help. I got a friend to get me another gen 5 10.1 disc and it made the nav come back up. I guess the other disc got corrupted or something but it's working now .

If anyone is wondering, I went and confirmed the Warranty question at my Lexus dealership in Atlanta. They told me the hack will "NOT" void my warranty. I even confirmed that this will involve cutting wires, and still said it is fine. Even told me a good DIY is on Clublexus and if I am not comfortable doing this myself, they recommended me a person at Sound Sensation.

I would still check this with a delearship near you, but just wanted to let peopel know what i was told. (I will be doing this hack this weekend!)

hey so the only thing you need to do to be able to play a DVD while rolling on an 07 is350 ML version is to ground that red wire?

Yup.. i just did this last night. I grounded it to a 10mm bolt inside the dash housing. (Make sure its at least touching a metal housing)


The hardest part of me was removing the vents. It was headache. Just be patient with it.

I did the Navigation hack on my IS350 today and noticed that my cruise control doesn't work. Don't understand if these two things could ever be related but you never know.

Horn works, paddle shifters work, and other steering wheels controls work.. In fact, when you click on the Cruise Control button you can see the icon in the dash but you can't "set" the speed.. Maybe clipping the Speed Senor pink wire screwed this all up?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

After you do this hack, does your NAVI talk to you like, "turn left"

I found out today that my car doesn't do that anymore. Maybe its the setting?
