When my uncle had the problem with his satellite in his 07 Land Cruiser, he called the Toyota dealer, they referred him to an independent audio installation shop in the area that they outsource everything to. They told him that they were going to have to take everything out of the car by stripping the interior and put in a new tuner, receiver etc.... I told him that sounds crazy.
 
So I told my uncle to bring the car by my house. I disconnected both the negative AND postive terminals on the battery and left them disconnected for at least 10 minutes. I then hooked it back up and everything worked fine.
 
I WOULD HIGHLY SUGGEST THAT WHEN ANYONE HAS ANY PROBLEMS LIKE THIS, TO DISCONNECT THE BATTERY COMPLETELY TO RESET ALL THE ELECTRONICS. Disconnect BOTH cables and leave them disconnected for a short time, so any memory gets reset as well.

What did you end up doing? I have a 2007 that reads the same message. I called Video Service Stop and the number seems to be disconnected. Is there anyone else that can solve this problem?

Alas, they The outfit in Massachussets, have my money and my unit, the computer from under the seat and I have nothing. They claimed to have repaired it, sent it back to us and I installed it and it still did not work. I asked them what to do and they suggested sending it back which I did at my expense yet again.
Countless emails, telephone calls and such were of no avail and now their number is not in service and they answer to no inquiry.
I am out my $385 or so that I sent them, the money to ship it back and my computer.
In the meanwhile I have a Garmin GPS that I use that is actually superior to the original unit and I like it fine. I should have done that in the first place and avoided all the expense and fuss since the unit cost less than the projected repair by Video Service Stop and the money I lost. I certainly think that the Toyota dealers repair or replacement is a total rip-off and would not go that route unless you are still under warranty. They want a whole lot more for the computer than it is worth and the rest of the functions other than navigation still work even without the unit in the car.
I hope this information is of use to you.

The Garmin GPS might be an option for part of the system, but it also controls the heat & air conditioner on my 2004 Land Cruiser, so that won't work for me. Searching for a used unit.

I'm having the same issue with my 2004 LC. Now that I have read it on here, mine issues may have started after replacement of the original factory battery this summer. I'm searching for a used replacment. Do I need part #86111-60250, the LCD Navigation unit 03-07 or part #86841-33060, the Navigation & CD Drive 01-05 or part#86841-50090, Navigation & CD Drive 01-07 ?

#209 of 209 ipod/iphone integration to stereo / NAV system by nanoman

I am interested to integrate an iphone/music player into my 2003 LC. I have a Gen 3 NAV and multi-CD player. There are aftermarket 'kits' that claim this can be done, and then can use the controls to select and play music. Anyone have experience with this? Recommend a brand or website? Does it work well? I don't want to mess up the NAV system.
