Must be something wrong with the software. My wife's GX gets VERY much softer when NAV instructions come on. I drive an Infiniti M35 ... in THAT car, although the audio does soften a bit, it doesn't begin to compare with the quieting in the Lexus. That's the ONLY part of the Lexus that I feel is superior to the Infiniti! Bart

This is normal in the GX.
I had an 05 GX and now have a 06 GX. The nav voice just doesn't go loud enough when the radio is turned up. If the volumn on the radio is low, then I can hear the nav voice. For some reason, Lexus doesn't want the nav voice to be loud. Who knows what their logic is for that. I imagine its the same on other Lexus vehicles.

Looking for anyone with a 2007 GX470 NAV

I’m looking for anyone who owns a 2007 GX470 with NAV. My question to all that own a 07 with NAV would be, have you figured out the voice command for the air conditioner? I have not been able to get the A/C to work using a voice command. I owned a 05 GX and a 06 RX400h in which the voice command worked well for the A/C.

The service isn't bad, the customer care stynx. I got my 2nd Infiniti from the dealer across the street and their attention to detail makes our Lexus dealer look like he's serving Yugo owners. Bart

Dear cwilbs! I am surprised that your dealer is not communicating with you to your satisfaction. My suggestions:
-look for a lawfirm that has handled automotive complaints in the past, possibly from your State (of residence);
-provide them with information, and
-with a Customer Service history printout from the dealership that has been servicing your Lexus (it is free of charge - you have the right to get it while you wait!)
-tell the lawfirm you intend to hire, that you need to initiate a legal process by sending a "Letter of Demand" about your complains (cost: $800 or less);
I wish you good luck! Andrew

I bought my wife a 2007 GX470 with navigation. During the December to remember sale. I cannot get the voice command to operate the Air condition either. It doesn't make sense that the older generation models, 2006 and older have that function and the newest models do not. Please let me know if you find a solution to this problem.
Cheers,

If you look within your owners manual it does show that the voice NAV should work in with the A/C. However, after running this problem through my dealership, East coast manger, Lexus in Cal and allot of others it turns out the manual incorrect. I surprise the entire Lexus team because no other buyer of a 2007 noticed or caught this. For 2007 Lexus opt not to have the NAV work with the A/C. Instead the GEN 5 NAV allows one to place a telephone call with voice where Gen 4 could not. Bottom line: You have to control the A/C with your hands.

Thanks for the reply, I asked the dealer during a demo why that function doesn't work. They were stumped because they assumed that it had the same features as the previous generation in addition to the voice command for phone calls.

the only part in the vehicle that concerns the ac control and the navigation is the gateway ecu. so there is a wiring glitch of the gateway ecu most probably. its part of the avc lan system that stops you from hooking up non lexus accesories to the wiring harness and at times even stops lexus accesories from working.
