Lexus ES 2007-12 :: Audio System Won't Read Some Flash Drive MP3 Files?
I downloaded several mp3 files from Amazon and loaded them on a flash drive to use in my 2011 ES350 audio system. The flash drive is plugged into the USB port in the center console, and CD/Aux is selected to play the files. The weird thing is that although most files play, there is a few don't. There are folders for the non-playing music files, and a file is indicated in each, but after a short display of the folder/file number, the player skips on to the next folder without playing anything. Is there something I can do to get the "silent" files to play?

Lexus LS 2007+ :: 2008 LS460 Navigation Displaying Unable To Read Data Message
My Navigation started to display a message "Unable to Read Data" and would not display the Map on my Certified 2008 LS460. All other displays worked just fine and there were no other problems with my Navi. This had been an intermittent problem for a while so I decided to bring it to Pohanka Lexus in Chantilly, Virginia. I paid them $130 to diagnose the problem for them to tell me that I need a new Navigation ECU - which at first they quote $15,000.00 I FLIPPED! I let them know that I would deal with not having a map and navigation and got my car back!
When they gave me my car I started it up to see the wrong time displaying on the clock and a message that reads "A program cannot be read. Please consult to a dealer" displaying on my screen. I immediately got my SA out there to look at the message. He tried to tinker with all the buttons and couldn't get the message to disappear so he brought his supervisor to look at the message.
They explained to me that when diagnosing the problem they tried to reset the system by removing by battery and it didn't work (Yeah, Actually it made things worse!!!) and now it is evident that my ECU has apparently completely died (and I find it such a coincidence that it happen to die while in their hands diagnosing the issue). They took the car back to see if they could do anything to get it back to the state it was in when I brought for diagnosis.
Lexus ES 2007-12 :: 2008 ES350 Navigation System Outage / Program Cannot Be Read Message
We bought our ES350 used a number of years ago. When we changed the battery, the Nav system no longer worked and a " A program cannot be read. Please consult to a dealer." message appeared. Am I wrong to assume that the loss of power from the battery swap caused the software to dump from the system and there was no disc installed to "reboot" the system? All I need is a disc and the system will restore? If so will an "update" disc work or do I need an original "program" disc?

"VSC" warning light...my car is completely dead, with warning light "VSC". Other than what the acronym Vehicle Stability Control stands for, I don't know what the issue is or what VSC is relating to. I can't get my car started to take it in for diagnostic testing.
The car is 2008 Lexus IS 250.
Camry :: Any Way To Make System Display Chinese Characters
I have a 2010 Camry Se with the JBL system (non-navi). I usually listen to Chinese songs and the display does not seem to show Chinese characters. I've test drove the Sonatas and they display it quite well.
Is there anyway to make the system display Chinese characters? a setting or something in the headunit? or even an update from the dealer? I would imagine the system is similar to the ones overseas..so I assume they get to display the Chinese characters as well? Lastly, is it normal for the songs not to scroll when the car is moving? Even listening to the radio sometimes prevent the system to scroll or even display the correct info about the songs.
Passat (B6) :: MFD Malfunction - Loss Of Pixels / Bar Lines Across Display
My MFD display is starting to have a mind of it's own lately. The problems will only occur during the first 10 - 15 minutes of driving, and then the display will be normal for the rest of the drive. It is starting to occur about every 3rd day now; vs. once a month.
Various Symptoms Observed: Loss of pixels, bar lines across display, reverse video, backwards video, font triple size, no display, display floating across screen, no change in display, extra pixels, total pixalation of screen, rapidly changing displays, brightness levels changing.
I suspect either that:
1) The MFD display connection is not totally secure or is corroded, and temperature/vibration is affecting the inputs to the display board,
2) The voltage supply to the MFD board (if there is one) is slowly degrading and I will eventually experience total failure.
I have captured some of the Failure Symptoms on my digital camera (video mode), but not the recent more troubling ones. I'll have to keep my camera with me at all times to capture the rest of the failures.
Lexus RX 2010-15 :: Speedo Vs Average MPH Read Out
We've had our 2013 RX350 CPO for about a month now. We traveled to NC a few weeks ago and I noticed that the speedo would read 70 but the computer Ave. MPH would read 4 mph less. This was using cruse on the highway. In about an hours time I zeroed the Ave. MPH a couple of times only to have the same result. It still is happening at any speed. Is it a dealer issue?
View 4 RepliesCamry :: 2007 Navigation Screen Error / MAP DVD - Unable To Read Data
My new '07 Camry with 5K miles on it, driving along, minding my own business. The navigation was on as it always is, but not in guidance mode. All of a sudden I notice the screen turn dark and I see this error: "MAP DVD - Unable to read data. Check if map DVD is correct." (see image)
I have never removed the DVD from the drive. It is clean as a whistle. I wasn't on a bumpy road. I tried resetting and cleaning it, but no good.
Ford Audio/Video System :: 2007 F150 - Nav Not Working - Cannot Read The DVD
The navigation in my 2007 F-150 is acting up, saying it cannot read the DVD, and that it might be dirty, remove and clean, etc. etc.
Also, and perhaps an equally concerning problem is that it won't spit the DVD out. It will get so I can barely see the disc through the mouth of the system, but not enough to grab it. I'm going to try and grab the disc as delicately as I can with a small set of grooveless needle nose pliers, but haven't had a chance to try that yet.
It was doing this a while ago, but seemed to fix itself and hasn't acted up for I'd say 2 months now.
For those that have had this happen before, is it as simple as cleaning the disc, or is this a sign of a larger (possible system failure) problem?? Also I should mention that I still have the original map DVD in the truck, and I think I've taken it out once in the year and a half I've had the truck, and that was just in learning how it came out.

Yesterday as I took off for work, I noticed no map on my nav screen. Below is the message I am getting. This is a 2004 and my guess is the nav has never been updated. I bought the GX 3.5 years ago as a CPO.

I just upgraded my phone from galaxy s5 to galaxy s7. Even though on S5 my GS350 would display and read text messages, it stopped on my S7. I made my text messages work again.
1. Remove all linked phones, unpair bluetooth connection, and restart phone in SAFE mode
. (Google how to start your phone in Safe mode).
2. After pairing and connecting phone to car blue tooth in safe mode, everything transferred, all contacts, text messages, even emails.
You now can receive texts and use the available message replies.
3. Restart your phone to take out of safe more and you are all set.

Lexus LX 2008+ :: Gauge Read 1/8 Tank, Computer Indicated 10 Miles Till Empty But Car Ran Out Of Gas
I had a fuel sender failure a couple of weeks ago. 60k mi.
Basically: freeway driving, fuel gauge read 1/8 tank remaining, computer indicated "10 miles till empty" but the car ran out of gas. Fuel sender, in the fuel tank turned out to be the malfunction.
Towed to the dealer...they had never, ever seen this before.
I get the car back next week, just want to bookmark this thread in case any members (God forbid) have this problem now or in the future.
I still have faith in my Lexus, but want to share as this failure was very unusual.
Santa Fe (CM - 2007-12) :: Engine Goes Dead Several Times A Day But CEL Does Not Come On
I own a 2008 Hyundai Santa Fe with the 3.3 V6 engine and 129,000 miles, I am the second owner. When I bought the car a month ago I had it tuned up by a local shop, not the dealer, I was getting around 23 MPG hwy and around 17 City, then just this week I noticed an increase in gas consumption to 13 mpg in the city and the car losses power when coming off a stop. I took the car to the shop and the said that there was a faulty coolant sensor, they replaced it and I drove it home, the car lost fire 3 times within 5 miles from the shop.
I took the car back to the shop and they kept it there for half a day, when I stop by they said that their computer shows two reports, one a faulty oxygen sensor and the other a problem with the catalytic converter, I asked which converter and they could not tell me. I also inquired why is it that the check engine light has not come on once, they also had no answer.
I then too it to a muffler shop, explained the situation and they said that if there is no check engine on they cannot diagnose the problem, thus drove back home where the car lost fire twice, always coming off a full stop, no hesitation, no missing, the car's engine simply goes off, I turn the key and comes back to life, it doesn't shake or sputter, as if nothing happened and again, no check engine light.
Camry :: 2007 4cyl Dead / Just Crank And Not Start
So I recently went out to start my car one morning and it decided to just crank and not start. A few days prior to that I was on my way into work and it shut off on me 4 times but started back up every time, it was only 5 degrees Fahrenheit that morning and I was under 1/4 tank, so just thinking I got some bad fuel or moisture in there I ignored it and went on about my business until it didn't start that morning. Since then I've searched on here and found a couple people that had similar issues and I tried what they had done to fix theirs, this is everything from trying the second key and on.
There is no power at the fuel pump except for the sending unit portion, and I did check with someone cranking the engine, it just has no power... So I thought, relay...well apparently they don't have a fuel pump relay on this car? It's all controlled by the ECU? I decided to hook up my scanner to see if there were any codes getting thrown, this would show if it was CPS or the like, nope, no codes at all showed up. I'm completely lost at this point, and have resorted to buying a subscription to all data as I used them in the past and had luck, well this time they've got nothing for me that I've found useful. I'm about to send the car off to the first person that's willing to pay a fair price. Glad it's warm enough to get the summer car out!
