Discontinued Lexus Remote Start (merged threads)

I have turned off the engine while the car is in gear but never when it is in motion. I think it should be a safety feature that you you wouldnt be able to turn it off while in motion.

The only problem is that I am ready to deal NOW and NO So Cal Dealership has the car I am looking for!!! All I can do is get on a wait list behind an average of about (3) people!!!

I don't think that would happen since the remote won't know who is the theif! Say if you press the buttom accidentally

Okay after going to talk to Luis over at Carson Lexus, he said whoever would do it would have to pay for the remote start AT COST, which is kinda steep (over 500 dollars), I can not say the price online. The only thing is this, if it does not work correctly or doesn't work at all, you basically are stuck with a not working remote start and out of all the money you spend.

I'd be happy to come do this, but it would have to be worth driving from Sacramento. Also, what other features does this remote offer? Is the only addition remote start, or are there other features enabled with it?

i spoke to Luis also. what they are willing to do is basically install it for free. all they are charging for is waht they paid for the kit. so if it works!!! and i am sure they will figure it out you just saved a good 200+ dollars on the install. there is a chance it may not work and you are out the cost of the parts. trust me they want this to work and i am sure they will put the time and effort to make it work. i am sure they can get you a loaner car while they do this. everyone after this will have to DIY or pay to have installed. i am hoping for some install directions once they figure out as i am way to far to drive there. i told Luis that i would order the part and try it myself. i am waiting on some prices for the kit for our car. they had one for the GS in stock but not our car. lets hope this works!!!

has anyone worked anything out with Luis @ Carson-Lex???
Luis did you get a chance to check on the price to order the kit? PM me if you have any info please. i would like to see if i can have my local Lex dealer step up and try to do the install so we can figure out if this will work or not.

I hope you guys understand that Carson is NOT a Lexus dealership.
It is a TOYOTA Dealership. They are just a Vendor for ClubLexus.
If someone got the cash to burn, they can scoop the system up and try it.
I still want to try it for myself, I have the electrical manual in my room. I'm sure it will work, one way or another.
passnu2, I think you should call Luis or Steve directly and work out the details.
Javy, I think I remember reading a old thread, if the car is in motion and if you HOLD onto the button. It will shut off the car. Not sure.

The manual won't help you. You need the intelligent tester to register the RFID with the certification ECU. This is not a user configurable thing unless you've got the Lexus software on a scantool. Expect to pay about $6k - $8k for this tool, or $100 to Lexus to do the programming.
I'd also like to know if it will do remote window up as well as down. I suspect it might.

Do you have the Japanese wiring diagram?
I really doubt you need any special wiring. You just need the certification ECU to send the start command over the CAN or BEAN bus and it will work just like pushing the start button with the brake depressed. You just need to get the right packet on the network...
