I DO NOT want security light issues, electrical issues, unlocking issues, just crap that occurs when you go non-lexus

my key doesn't open my doors remotely anymore, i used to be able to do the windows, etc, so annoying at this point, and a remote start would be cool and nice

help a neo out!

PS I did a search, can't find any write ups on good remote start systems...

have you changed your key battery?

Hi.newbie here. Just found this thread from search. I got the problem. I got my GS300 2nd hand. I only have ONE key without remote now. Anyone with 2nd Gen GS that have aftermarket security installed? I called the Lexus dealer and they try to rip me off saying aftermarket won't work and it will ruin everything??

cause i just bought one off ebay and it has the two way pager thing that lets you know your car alarm is going off and it has a remote start feature.

i have no idea where to go to get it installed and how much it will cost.

ps. im in columbia, maryland if anyone knows where that is.

Hey Buddy...

I live in Columbia as well... haha.. ok 2 things.. either you can go to Audio Connection (Dobbin Rd) on RT 175 or go to either Circuit City or Best Buy.. they take outside parts but they don't gurantee the part you baught..

I recently installed amp on my new 06 ES330 with circuit city.. some of em do great job.. I had mine installed at Circuit City down at Arundel mall.. but since they did a fast job they did a messy job on the wires

.. I went visiting my fiancee at richmond and took the car to another circuit city there.. asking em to have a look to see if they could do better... boy trust me they did an excellent job.. I have a after picture.. probably will be posting it soon..

So.. see which is convenient.. or you can wait for your buddy to go down to Glen Burnie.. at fix em for FOC.. may a pack of beers haha!!

Me.. Indian from Malaysia...

Good luck with the alarm....
