the grey lead in the boot is for the optional oem carphone aerial (built into top of rear screen)

Regarding the Sat Nav, I find it kind of useful as a MAP but about has much use as a chocolate fireguard when it comes to navigating. The two times I have actually followed it to the letter (I was bored), the darned thing has taken me on a 30% longer journey and cost a lot more in fuel. Once tried to direct me to a field near Swindon, when I could plainly see the address of where I was going to was on the other side of the display.

I have seen other posts on here that suggest the system is more for a laugh than anything else, though I have found it useful from time to time to navigate to places like Cadbury World?!?!?

I have to agree. I think the satnav in the ls400 is about as useful as a rubber ladder, even though in mine i have the updated version.

I understand that you can get the sat nav updated, where they change the hardware but keep the same screen? I believe that if you do it, you can then use postcodes, speed cameras etc.

Anyone done this on an Ls400?

I kind of like the retro look and feel of the sat nav. Having said that, I never really have to rely on it to get me anywhere! And it's a good talking point for anyone unacquainted with Lexus. How many other cars in the mid to late 90s had a touchscreen?

i have read that you can swap a prius nav for a 2001 430 uou change the box in the boot , i wonder if it would work on the 400

There is a YouTube video on the LS400 satnav update have a look at this

When my satnav was playing up I was tempted to give it a try, cost was around £650 though.
