$500 is cheap for a used one, just make sure you get some kind of warranty(30 days, 90days, etc...). I had bought one back in March and it was not a working unit so I returned it. Forturnaly my old one worked again after all those plug and unpluging. Dealer told me they needed to order one and it would take 2 weeks and YES it is $1600.

I think it was my fault. I was in the hidden screen and pressed upload new DVD that I had bought as a copy for $40. I dont think the copies can hadle the heat and it froze. The dealer said I was stuck. I called Lexus they are going to get back to me tomorrow. I think they will assist in the cost.

If i were you, i would get a +04 ECU, simply because its a gen 4 navi, with much more features.

If you cant, at least get a +02 ECU as it its a 3rd gen navi.


But im curious, how did the old dvd freeze? did it melt or something?


sigers - this is not a common problem at all... very rare... dont worry.
