Lexus GEN 4 V7.1/V4.2 with Override WORKING!!!

[KillaBeez3000]

I have the fix for the Gen 4 v7.1/v4.2 to work with the override!!!!!!!!! I just got it to work like an hour ago. I drove around to test it for the most part and it seems to be ok. No issues to report. Plus I have not bought anything new nor did I add any lockpicking systems (Whatever that is....lol). I have been working on this all day and reading all the different post and the negative responses and everyone saying that it can't be done or it doesn't work. BUT HA HA HA (not to poke fun but with glee that i got it to work) I think that i can say that I am the first to get it to work. Enough of all the walking around with my head held high and my chest poked out like a gladiator. All I did was copy all of my files from my old version 4.2 nav disc on to my hard drive and then downloaded v7.1 from some site _ _ _ _. I copied all of the files from the version 7.1 to the version 4.2 folder Except INDEXDAT.KWI and LOADING.KWI and 05.CMP and IDX folder ............ Downloaded Roxio Easy Media Creator 9 trial version, Selected Data Disc, Then copied all files from my version 4.2 in the blank field and hit burn (red button at bottom right corner). I used DVD+R DL Memorex discs. I turned my car on and ejected my old nav version 4.2 disc from the trunk of 2005 Lexus LS430 and inserted burned disc. Turned off car and started it back up and hit the enter I agree screen and it was updated. I live in avalon park in Orlando, so on my old nav it only showed grass and no roads, but now i see my house and streets!!! I then drove around the block and tried my override trick and that mother father worked!!!! I am as happy as a Disney World employee!!! Be sure to let everyone know that KILLA_BEEZ3000 hooked you up!! Yeah baby. Gone!

I'm pretty sure that it would work the same way if you have a version that already has the override working just replace the files that I mentioned and you shouldn't have any problems. So if you already have the V5.1 just replace the files and no need to take the battery cable off or anything like that because the Loading.kwi is already in the system.

here are other replies and posts that i made regarding the integrity of my findings!!

Burning a new disc with the old firmware has already been done, if you don't need the new firmware. Unfortunately for us '06 IS350 owners the new firmware fixes GPS lock on issues as well as remembering the last climate control settings on startup. Yes we can use the new data on old firmware and retain the override bypass, but no fixes for the previously mentioned bugs.

[KillaBeez3000]

I'm not real sure about the bugs for the IS350 GPS. sorry. Do you guys use the GEN 4 configuration as well and if so are you starting with a version that already has the override feature? I mean I only know about my lexus, i'm a new owner and did not want to upgrade my map if i was going to lose the override feature so thats all i worked on. Sorry man i could not be much of a help to you and your IS350 bug. i dont have a problem with my nav not remembering my last climate settings and ot real sure about the gps lock on issues and what that actually is.

Yes the '06 can override but not the later models with the upgraded NAV disc You can also purchase a bypass harness now from Japan (Clublexus site), it has a separate controller to allow turning on DVD, override, etc.

Finally I gotten confirmation from others who have tried this method!!!

and clubfoot you suck for trying to burst my bubble!! I didnt have any problems and still dont and neither does anyone else that has tried it. My task was not to fix bugs but it was to get the NAVI updated but keeping the OVERRIDE functionality. It works like i said with no problems. Don't hate me for trying to help hate me for HELPING....ha.

Naw I'm sorry that was childish but darn it i got it to work while no one else got it to! WITHOUT ANY EXTRA PARTS OR PHYSICAL MODDING... Like that dumb harness, no one wants to fool with wires or mess up there dash or trunk for a stupid navi, nor purchase anything extra and have to take time to install it risking the chance of messing something up...
