Annoying Navigation Screen Message

I have a new RX 400h and the navigation screen is beginning to drive me crazy - Whenever you start the car, it shows the same Annoying Message about how dangerous it is to look at the navigation screen while driving. You must then punch "I Agree" on the screen to get rid of the Annoying Message. The irony is, one often doesn't notice the Annoying Message until one's driving - forcing one to lean over and punch the screen in order to view the navigation map and other controls.

Also, you cannot program a destination into the navigator unless the car is stopped. Never mind that there might be 2 people in the car - for one of them to program a destination, the driver must stop the car.

Does this bother anyone else? Is there any way to disable the Annoying Message?? What kind of nanny state-corporate lawyer idiocy spawned such a cockammie setup? What happens when Lexus is sued by someone who gets into an accident while leaning over to get rid of the Annoying Message????

I agree with you, it is the same way on our 04 RX330. I just chalked it up to lawyer speak and figured there wasn't any way to override it.

What kind of gas mileage are you getting with your hybrid?

Thanks!

it is *not* the same system. I emailed them and they said do NOT order the cabling and expect it to work on a Lexus. The wiring is totally different. They *did* say they may look at doing something for the Lexus configuration some time in the distant future.
