texinalex Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 hi the gps naviagation is not working does it have to have the original radio aerial or can a aftermarket radio aerial still do the job Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

texinalex Posted November 6, 2018 Author Share Posted November 6, 2018 thanks danny for your reply it is a 2001 gs300 2jz vvt engine i fitted a aftermarket radio aeriel and just after the cd did not work on the gps mapping. i took the cd out and found gaps missing on the white paint of the cd. after removing the reader unit in the boot & tapping white flakes came out. looks like i might just need to find another cd and maybe clean the play unit it still turns when powered up. like to keep it original as best car i have ever had and plan to keep a while longer thanks if you have any suggestions it is appreciated, texinalex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilv1004s Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 no worries that narrows it down very simialr system to the 2002-2005 IS200/300 systems try another CD (where is map cd) that can be found on the later model 2nd gen IS and 3rd gen GS if that fails then it could be the Map CD reader in the boot or give it a good clean with a cd cleaner i have replaced a few on the 1st gen IS in the past few months and that seemed to work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
