2001 Navigation Disk Update 8.1 [still allowing override?]
I searched the threads and could not find an answer here.
Does anyone have the latest (as of 10/08) nav dvd installed in a 2001 LS430?
If in fact you do, does it allow you to do the override to be able to program it while moving?

-see my next message for more info -
I have a 2001 LS with the 8.1 Software that I purchased from the Sewell GB and just tried these instructions posted by OkieState from the thread in your first post:
and I was able to pull up the tech screen and selected "Override Drive ". When I restarted the car, though, the warning screen still appeared.
What else am I supposed to be able to do? Enter directions while driving?

..... The correct way to do this is:
press Menu [NOT OPTIONS] then select System Options.....when you get to that screen, press upper left, lower left, upper left, lower left then lower right....you will get the tech screen. There you select the options you want.

Once you hold down the "override" button for 5 or more seconds, you should be able to enter an address while moving.
Could you please confirm that you are able to do that?
Thanks!

Update to my original post.
It does NOT appear that this override works with the 8.1 software and the 2001 (Gen 2/3) LS430 Hardware. After my original post, it would still not let me enter addresses while driving. I went back this morning (off for Veteran's Day) and re-entered the tech screen. The override Drive button was not darkened from my previous hack. This time I followed jabo75's instructions (2 separate times) and held the Override Drive button for 10 seconds - with no difference. The warning screen still pops up when the car is started and the other items are locked when traveling.
I tried, but it looks like this hack does not override the safety features anymore on the 8.1 software. I do find it odd that the "Override Drive" button is still in the menu though. Maybe they added some new button pushing sequence (other than holding for 5+ seconds) to activate this override. We will have to wait for the hackers or a Lexus Tech to figure it out. I am still happy with the 8.1 maps because a LOT of new roads and businesses have opens up around south Denver since the 2001 map set (that was in my car when I bought it) was made.

This override does nothing to eliminate the warning screen.
Lastly, you can't get to the override screen while moving. The "options" button is grayed out until you stop.
Obviously this solution is not as slick as something like the LockPick (had one on my Escalade, it worked great - I assume it would work well on the LS too), which allows acccess to virtually all functions while moving and elimination of the warning screen. But, this work-around doesn't cost 300 bucks either.
Let me know if any of this helps.

Hi Everyone,
Sorry, but I am a new owner of a used 2003 LS430. With the new 8.1 software, will the look (as in GUI) and functionality change and upgrade? Or is this 8.1 software simply adding new streets to the maps? Any pictures of the original software version (that came with the 2003 LS430) and the new 8.1 software would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!
Oh, I also found the 8.1 software DVD on eBay
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...3AIT&viewitem=
Would this be the correct DVD to purchase?

Yes it is. I wouldn't buy it from that guy though, as he sells them for more then the dealer.

Thanks for responding. I was hoping it would update the GUI and functionality to match that of the newer cars. Oh well.
