Easiest fix is just replacing the DVD player itself in the trunk. You navi screen still works hence why its displaying the message, but your DVD player has failed.
Thanks for sharing. So happy to see this, it just may solve my problem. I updated my '01 nav system with a 2013 disk knock-off from eBay (read many places those work) and now I get a "No Disk Detected" error message. Not sure if I ruined the navigation player. Should I try my current nav system with the updated OEM disk? Or do you think I need to update to the '04-'06 system with latest version OEM nav disk my navigation ? A bit of an investment to do both on an awesome car that unfortunately isn't worth much these days. Have you heard of using a cleaning disk as a first try? Suggestions please, thank you!
The system is still working since it’s able to not detect the disk. Play it safe and get rid of that eBay disk, find a legit disk/seller and that should work. I just happened to get lucky with a junked 04 LS430. I had gone through 3 of those and even an SC430 navigation player too. I haven’t used a desk cleaner since I’d just swap units, also I’d take them apart and clean them
It might, if you replace the Navi DVD player and screen is still black your display may be the issue. Either a fuse or something else is causing the screen not to be on
Haven't tried and wouldn't recommend. I don't even think anyone has burned the files off a disc, and any aftermarket selling of a disc is usually a gamble if its OEM or not
That’s something I wouldn’t know. That would require the wiring harness, transmission sensors to activate the camera, and possibly some body work to mount the camera.
Great video! Didn't fix my problem however. My navigation screen freezes sometimes and doesn't respond to touch. then it comes alive again the next day. any help? 2006 LS430.
Is it an every day issue? Only on cold starts? Dependent on weather? I've had the screen be non responsive on first starts in cold weather, but generally the screen was always responsive. May be an issue with the screen itself
Happened to me when I was trying to set my birthday in the 2 free spots. Its a program digit limitation on the year. Mileage will still work, but anything set by date will not. Same issue was reported on various news outlets for Honda, but generally any car this old with onboard maintenance tracking will have this issue
I have an 05 LS430. Are you saying I can take the current DVD player and literally ordered a 2015 version and it should work? I appreciate your time and the video.
@@dannyschmidt1681 Best chance, call your local Lexus dealership. You can find online suppliers but its a gamble whether they're selling an OEM disk or a bootleg disk
so you put a facelifted LS430 navigation system, with series 4 disk, in your 2001 LS430? what is the benefit from doing that? because i might look into doing it
McCall Young the facelift has more colors and options for navigating over the prefacelift. Generally looks a better and I feel works smoother. Some menus are different, but there is a Lexus Navigation video on here that covers the 04-06 gen Navi
McCall Young it does change the navigation menus. Audio, air and maintenance screens are unchanged, I think those screens run off a different computer. However, the only issue I did run into was that I lost the voice control ability, I swapped in another 01-03 unit and the system wouldn’t activate when pressing the voice button. Thought it would work on the 04-06 unit but it too doesn’t work. Must be the type of player equipped/trim package with the car
Hey man, been researching a lot for weeks, got a 2006 LS430, and it has this Taiwan machine- 86841-48020, currently runs a v9 .01.50, gen 4 disk of Taiwan navigation map, main prob I just want to change the language, its in Chinese/Japanese(not sure) and there isn't any language option, is there any way to change this? There isn't any language option in the hidden service menu either, glad if you could reply 🙏
@@BEANCROAKLY Is eBay okay? There's quite a few of the 2015 discs currently for sale on there for around seven dollars, and the discs themselves look legit to me....?
@@BEANCROAKLY That's an issue, because the legit discs are from a decade ago, which is totally useless to me. Apparently the non-oem discs that are from 2016 or so do work from what I have read. Might me worth your time..
Hi I've got a 2008 gs 450h and it wont recognize the dvd I made a mistake and eject it a few months ago now it tries to read but keeps eject. Is is the dvd or the player ..
I’ve gotten mine dvd box half way out. It doesn’t eject any discs tho. “Unable to read dvd correctly. Check if the dvd is damaged or dirty”.
Great video! you made the frustrating very simple. Plus, your update with the later player is great to know.
Please do this for the door lock actuators!
Lovely
Is it necessary to have the system on when you insert the disk? Seems like it would work from a cold start.
What a badass and clear explanation bro - keep up the great work!!! Subbed
Me too.
My 06 LS430 says “External system is not connected” everything else work on the screen but NOT the gps, please help, ty

i did that but it gave me no option after taking it out to wait for update why is that ?
Good ol' classic Denso navigation. GM got a lot of these too.
Thanks

Great video, thanks for posting.
Very nice editing 😯☝️
Any updates?

So what happens if the DVD player goes bad? Does the car DEPEND on the DVD player, or just for the updates? Thanks
You can still use the radio and AC functions. It’s just that you won’t have navigation and it’ll display a error message
What tools are needed to unplug the connectors on the back of the DVD player?
Fingers. They clip in
Can I do this for the 03 lexus gs430?
Will this fix a nav screen that is blacked out and no longer works? By just replacing that
It might, if you replace the Navi DVD player and screen is still black your display may be the issue. Either a fuse or something else is causing the screen not to be on
Can I burn a disc containing the file and then putting it in the car without buying the disc? Would there be a file from the disc online?
Haven't tried and wouldn't recommend. I don't even think anyone has burned the files off a disc, and any aftermarket selling of a disc is usually a gamble if its OEM or not
I tried an ebay burned disc n it didn't work AND it wouldn't revert back to the original disc...
Can I used the GPS disk from my RX350 yr2015 for my LS430 yr 2004?
No, those are two different generation discs
Can you add an oem back up camera after putting a new gen dvd player ?
That’s something I wouldn’t know. That would require the wiring harness, transmission sensors to activate the camera, and possibly some body work to mount the camera.

@@BEANCROAKLY Now it's permanent, no response to touch. I think it's a bad digitizer. I tried unhooking the battery. didn't help. Thx.
Anyone know why I cannot set date to change pass 2022?

That would be done through the player, try and source a US player and see if that helps. Would probably need to get a US disc, maybe tho

How can I got the updated dvd disk?
Muhammad M dealership or trusted 3rd party vendors. A non OEM disk won’t work or will brick the system

@@mraiwa1000 if it’s $7 it’s most likely a knockoff disc. Expect the OEM discs, even used discs to be a little more pricey.

Best would be on eBay
Bro can u help me out on where u got the disk from im not trying to go to the stealer
Duke107 eBay will be your best bet. Just don’t go for the lowest bidder and check the pictures for valid part numbers
@@BEANCROAKLY yea okay will do thanks for the reply bro

I’d say yeah it’s the player, best is to take it to a shop and have them diagnose it
Jewish racing gold. Fave color.
I mean, never called it that. But, uh, what ever floats your boat.
