There's a TSIB for that. Although unless you have an extended warranty or CPO the dealership won't fix it for free, in which case an updated nav disc will also solve your problem.

As far as rock chips, **** happens. The soft, environmentally-friendly Lexus paint doesn't help the cause though.
No I did not discoonect the battery.
