LS460 Navigation Problem
#16
Thanks to all for helping. We left the car with the dealer with instructions to drive and park it for a couple of days before calling us to say, "It's fixed." The new battery is a fully charged Optima Red Top (13 plus volts at the time of install), so I don't believe it is a part of the problem although it's installation process and procedure might well be. We should hear from the dealer by Monday... I'll pass along what we find.
Thanks again to you all.
Thanks again to you all.
If your battery measured 13 plus volts when you installed it something was wrong, probably your measurement method. A fully charged battery should read 12.7 volts.

(and if anyone wants to know how I accessed that screen, I followed this video thanks to this awesome guy:
EDIT: I did that GPS didnt show on screen
Lots of possibilities, such as, malfunctioning electronic devices that you have added to your car or devices that you are carrying or devices that someone has attached to your car such as a tracking device. RFI emissions from all sorts of devices might interfere with the GPS signals.
One thing for sure is with every reprogramming of navigation, the repair guy had to pull out the screen and reprogram a micro sd card or some kind of memory card - i dont remember what he said exactly but it did involve pulling out the screen. So Im thinking he may have unhooked a wire or something and forgot to put it back on?
Taking the car back to him on Sunday. Will report back on Wednesday.

My diag screen looks similar. I am really starting to think that either the plug n play vaistech module I have is somehow interfering at random times but my 99% solution is to just plug my phone to charge it lol. .when I get back home I can test some theories
Oh..to get to diag screen for sure on 07 to 09 models is to hold down INFO button while turning on/off parking lights 5 or 6x real quick

GPS is not showing vehicle current position
Recently the battery in our 2009 LS460 died. After installing a new battery my wife (her car) started the car and noticed that the emergency brake was set, but she selected a dealer service option on the dash display and the brake problem was solved. Almost. When she backed it up a couple of feet and pressed on the brake pedal, there was a metallic sound like the disk pads were loose in the calipers. Since this concerned my wife and since it was time for the 55K service, we took it to our local Lexus Dealer. Two days later, we got a call to tell us that the tires were worn to 3/32 tread, so we let them replace the tires. Oh yeah, my wife also had the car detailed at the dealership.
When we got the car back, the navigation system didn't know where the car was. After reading the owners manual, we discovered that there is a navigation system procedure to update tire changes... the dealer had not done it. We also discovered a navigation system procedure to update battery changes... At the time I installed the new battery, I hadn't done it, so a couple of days late I did it.
The car still doesn't know where it is... most of the time. Some of the time though... it apparently does... for about 30 minutes or 15 miles at a time. The GPS icon randomly appears and disappears.
Any ideas? The latest from the dealer is that we may need a map data upgrade for $300, but I think it's a bad antenna connection.

I have experienced the same issue that car is not showing the curre position but it does have the movement in the area of the Lexus dealership where it was last serviced a week ago . I was there for ZLZ inspection , replacing all 9 pieces of front panels by Lexus. Contacted Lexus about it but they said it is not related to battery disconnected , which it wasn't anyway . Offering to bring the vehicle back to inspection.
The vehicle is traveling to the area that is not matching the current position , it is in the area where the car was serviced. Anyone know how ?
