HOW-TO Guide

Enabling access to the Music Folders, Phone Dialing, Calendar and Maintenance Menus while Driving the Lexus ES-350

Hi
I have jst bought my 2008 Lexus RX 350 and joined the forum and want to activate greyed out Menus on my RX 350 from this HOW-To-Guide, but can't see the pics of this HOW-To-Guide. When I click on them it says URL is not available. Sonartech had the thread earlier on the forum, Can anyone help me to get those pics. Thanks in advance.

 

I don't think there is a 'hack' that allows you to activate those menus while driving that year model RX
Although you can on other Lexus models. I've tried CT and IS and you can use those menus while driving.

 

I have a 2008 RX350 and got a Nav Override unit from Prestigious Society. It's not cheap and was relatively difficult for me to install because it requires a wire to be run from behind the glovebox all the way to the GPS unit under the rear cargo area. http://www.prestigioussociety.com/?page_id=138

When I want to override the Nav lockout because the car is moving, I press a remote button attached to the Prestigious Society unit that temporarily disables the GPS (icon on the map stops moving). It's probably possible to achieve the same thing with a $2 toggle switch from Radio Shack.

I wish I didn't by the Lexus navigation system option because it's expensive and vastly inferior to Google Maps, Waze and even Apple's iPhone map application.
