What I was told by my SA is someone either tried to break into my car. With something, anything. Or someone hit my car. But I didn't notice any marks or anything. So that isn't a possibility.
In many areas, it's illegal for the alarm not to have an auto shut off after a few minutes. If the door is shut, I don't understand how it would keep going off.

^^ Good Question...

Actually, our 2nd Gen ISx50's have an available Lexus OEM internal motion sensor, its just NOT available to the US spec 2IS market.....

I would love to get my hands on these parts IF they are plug & play..

It's sad that our US Spec 2IS misses out on so many options found on the JP & Euro Spec 2IS'


Photo courtsey goes to member "Letz250"

That is kind of weird it has a FCC ID number. You wouldnt have that number unless you have it registered in the US.

You bring up a good point. I would think the foreign Key's have FCC numbers too...

I am sure Lexus gets everything approved for all markets... it just doesn't make to all of them.

Another example would be the OEM remote starter.

True that Joe! I was gonna do a search on that fcc id number to see if there is anything associated with it.

only way to steal the car at that point is to have it towed
