Hey guys my nav in my 98 gs400 is stuck on searching for destination. its been like that for over a month now. i just went as far as taking out the unit and hoping it would reset. no help. lexus is saying that the only solution is to buy a new hard disk which is over 600 dollars. does anybody have any advice? miss my nav and its holding up some other mods i wanna do. please somebody help!

the diagnostic ran great thanx alot. unfortunately it says that everything is ok. all the ckecks came out fine. i cleared the memory. but when i went back to the nav screen it is still stuck on searching for destination. atleast i discovered your website, you have some great stuff on there i read it for about a hour. if you have anymore suggestions let me know. i much rather donate a few dollars to you than give lexus over 600. thanx. still in need of assistance.

How long did you leave the power off the unit when you removed it?
I hate to say it, but if it was for any length of time and it still didn't reset....you may have to do what Lexus suggested. I can't see how the unit wouldn't reset with power off for any amount of time w/o having some kind of software/drive problem. It seems like that is the only thing left in the system to be able to malfunction in the way that it is. Not that it is related, but have you tried reseting the car's ECU?
I'm not all that up to speed on the navi stuff. I'm just trying to help.

Just trying to see if something simple will reset it.
