Hey astec, i'm looking to get the override done. where abouts are you in Sydney? Hey sh1,, Send me a PM and I'll let you know..

Chubz, I've always used 98 for 99.99% of the time (odd occasion on long country drives, I had to use 95) Long term average sits around 8.9litre/100km. My best has been 8.3km on a tank on a long country drive (out west and back). Mix of driving is prob 50:50 Astec

Hey Chubz, Been away for work for some weeks.. but yep.. PM me and we could work something out

Anyone interested in making a change to the GS for Nav and DVD player override, PM me. I did it myself on my 450h and very impressed with the results.

Hi All, If you've ever been frustrated by not being able to quickly input a destination address yourself or your passenger while even moving slowly, then I have found the way to make a change to the car to override this. If you are interested to have this change, do let me know and I can help you do it. Regs,

Yes, I have this as well.. just the petrol engine kicking in sometimes, as far as I can recall.. quite normal as far as I'm concerned these days...

Hi, It's been about 5 years since I posted my original comment... ;) My GSH450h is still going strong after more than 120,000km. My batteries are fine - never had any problems with it or anything else on the vehicle - gotta love Lexus quality. My fuel economy is practically the same as it was when it was new in 2007 - I still get 700km tank average. It was only very recently that I managed to have the time to make some mods to my car, specifically around the Navigation Lock override and DVD lockout as well as introduce an after market ipod and Hard Disk integration I also installed my own bypass switch for the Nav lock and DVD lock override purpose - if you are interested and you would like me to help you do this change to the car, do let me know. Regs,

Hi All, It's been a bout 3 weeks since I got my GS450H and I am incredibly satsified with the performance of this car. I had a GS300 (02) before and thought that was well refined but the GS450H takes it to another level. The quality of and quietness of the ride, the solid build quality, the smooth accelaration and the instantaneous power is absolutely incredible. Mileage wise, on the last tank, I managed to drive 750km (combination of city and highway - M5 morning and evening traffic) with 62l of 98octane. That's incredible... How are you guys finding your investment?

I am all for this! One particular problem I am having is being able to have the passenger enter the address while the car is in motion. The previous "hacks" does not seem to work with the Sensis V13 Navigation I have. Hi there, I also have the same request.. Have you tried the physical hack posted on the US website? This is theone that requires you to disassemble and cut some wires.. I downloaded the procedure but have not had a chance to do it yet.

Is it possible perhaps to introduce a hybrid discussion forum to cover the GS450H and RX400H?
