JML Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 Hi Everyone, Just a quick question (sorry, but I haven't look at the manual) in regards to the car battery. If I disconnect the car battery, I am aware that the power windows will need to be reset, but will it wipe out previous address data inputs from the GPS NAV unit as well as the memory seat settings?

ilv1004s Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 seats i think they get reset but the nav setting dont get reset Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JML Posted July 13, 2011 Author Share Posted July 13, 2011 Cool... :) Thanks for the quick reply and very much appreciate it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lexus Nerd Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 ... the nav setting dont get reset The Address Book isn't reset, but the list of Previous Destinations will be cleared ... so, if you find you're re-visiting one or more Previous Destinations fairly often, make sure you add them to your Address Book first.

coconut2001 Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 Both the address book and previous destinations don't get wiped for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lexus Nerd Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 Hmm ... Perhaps my Previous Destinations got wiped by the dealer on my 15K service, at the same time they might have programmed the 30K service reminder. Weird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ilv1004s Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 y do they need 2 battery's? who told u that lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avante Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 Haha yeah I thought that was a little weird... I got it off the Exige battery finder website. Typed in the name of the car model and it says "2 batteries required" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quockies Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 Newbie here - had my battery replaced by Lexus for $180. I know I could of have paid a lot less but didnt have the time to find the right one, install it, dispose of the old one, reprogram the car etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JML Posted October 5, 2012 Author Share Posted October 5, 2012 Do you know what brand of battery they replaced for you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quockies Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 Not off the top of my head but probably be Panasonic or something like that. Ill have a look when I get home tonite and let you know. The dealer said its a Lexus approved "blah blah blah" Toyota battery.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avante Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 Yup the OEM battery is a Panasonic. I might go with Century. I've read polarising reviews on Optima Red Tops for use in a daily driver. They look nice though - kinda like a large Lego brick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilv1004s Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 180 is a good price after market units are 140-150 ill rather pay the extra and get a oem unit OEM unit is far better than your average battery in the similar range Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
