What year is your LS430? My 2004 LS430 UL Nav has voice turn-by-turn and is quite acceptable to me. Suggest you read your Nav System Manual (if you don't have one, then sign in, register, and order one from mylexus.com.

Use Google Maps on your phone, instead.

I used to look at the map in addition to listening for the prompts. Several months ago, I weaned myself off that by paying more attention to the road and listening more intently. This makes more aware of traffic, particularly when approaching an intersection for a turn.
