2002 LS430

So I just pulled my nav unit from the trunk which has failed, figured for the 15 minutes it takes to pull it take it apart and try a quick fix like clean laser head, lube the slide channel etc - when I did pull the unit out I noticed two wire harness - and one was unplugged these are not the wires that plug directly into the Nav unit but a seperate white harness closer t the other part of the nav unit-

Any idea why this plug would be undone? Should it be undone - perhaps it is a harnes that gets plugged together if you have a UL version?

No clue but hesitant to plug it back together and then fry something. Any Thoughts

also just re-installed the nav unit when the disc is out the screen says the message about no DVD then I put the DVD in - with the outer case off so I could see if motor is spinning - the disc spins for about 30 seconds or so there is a few clicking sounds then it shuts down and the can not read DVD message pops up

let us know if you're able to get the unit working again... mine has same problem and I'd sure like to fix it myself

Them other wires disconnect the lexus link voice and recorder at start up. My nav does the same thing.

The motor is out on your DVD drive there are some threads about it.

I believe that is the right part....

I have a 2002 LS430 and its nav unit wouldn't work any more. Bought a replacement unit on ebay for about $650 and installed it myself. Now it works well again. Good luck.

if the navi drive is the same at the one in my GS430, i have one for sale at a deep discount in comparison to the 650 that Bobjann just posted about.

Thanks for the info on the wire harness and I did order the motor linked above I figured why not try the $50 fix first. It should arrive soon so will give it a go then on to replacing rotors and brakes then subwoofer next.....lol
