Have you tried to do the steps in the OP's post?
If yes and it still doesn't work, then you may just want to get the flyaudio unit.

First, thanks for the post. I hoping this will fix the problem. Does anyone has better luck communicating with dealers? I am thinking esclating it to the Executive Management level.............................because it cost consumers $3000 to get it fixed, is just rediculous that some owners has their vehicle less than a few years right after warranty expired.

Thanks Op!
Fixed mine yesterday and put it in today, everything working again yay. I can even connect my iphone to the bluetooth finally woo! Cost me a bit more since I didn't have any of the tools. ~75 dollars. Beats 3k-6k.

dont forget to tape the dash where you pry, the older the dash the less forgiving it may be!

Just want to share my experience with the same problem, My touch screen went dead , the screen displays everything fine and side buttons work , just the touch isnt working.
the day before it happened, I had my battery changed , but it was working when I started the car after installing the battery so its probably a coincidence.
anyway , dealer asked for something crazy to fix , over my dead body I said
, searched until I found this guy who rips off touch panels ( the piece that covers the actual screen, it had a 4 bus line connector on the corner ) from previous Lexus models from scrapyards or buys them used and installs it instead of my faulty one , it worked and cost me around 200$.
the touch panel he used was from a previous Gen LS.
so this is another solution to the problem I guess.

The Best Fix Possible
My niece has a 2007 IS250. She experienced the navigation screen going dead. I took the unit apart in an attempt to repair it myself, based on the tutorial from this post. I had a difficult time getting it to work so I took it to an electronic shop, here in Las Vegas. This guy is good. He soldered the ribbon connectors, as the tutorial instructed. It worked - for 60 days. Then dead again.
Here is the best possible fix - replace the defective LCD screen with a new one. I found a brand new LCD screen for $350 shipped from www.equipmentsfinder.com
Here is the link; http://www.equipmentsfinder.com/new-...-shipping.html
This is the exact LCD screen that the dealer installs. The entire unit does not have to be replaced (as the dealer wants you to believe). The only defective part is the LCD screen.
I hope this helps.
