Roadfrog, Did you follow Slimjimtel instructions and just hook up the 5 wires he mention or did you hook up all the wires as shown in the expresskit installation guide?

Wish me luck, i'm going attempt install this weekend.

Slim .. So you just need to hook up the blue wire harness since all these five wires you mention is on the blue harness. Did you plug in the other harness that came with the kit? (Red/black/white)

Also,

Nope, that's all you need for it to be functional.

Just the 5 wires.

IF you are going to hook up the parking light wire, read below.

The parking lights...
the concept is that the parking lights should burn while the remote start is running. Well, because of our high tech Lexus vehicles, this doesn't work exactly how it should. I personally am just fine with the way it works. But I thought I would bring this up to you as I thought I had a bad DBALL parking light output. And come to find out, it's actually the way the Lexus wiring is done.

If your headlight switch is set in the AUTO mode, the parking lights will not burn while the remote start is running. NO LIGHTS AT ALL

If your headlight switch is in the ON mode, the parking lights will not burn while the remote start is running. HOWEVER, the headlights WILL burn.

If your headlight switch is set in the PARKING LIGHTS mode, the parking lights will not burn while the remote start is running. NO LIGHTS AT ALL

If your headlight switch is set in the OFF mode, the parking lights WILL burn while the remote start is running. THIS is how it is supposed to work.

I personally keep my headlights in the auto mode, so I get no lights while the RS is running. I'm more concerned with a cool or toasty car.

The negative polarity parking light wire in the car is the only feasible connection. Unfortunately a negative trigger to that wire, while the switch is in auto, will not trigger the parking light circuit. The only way around this would be to wire a relay to trigger positive parking lights. However, there are 9 separate positive polarity parking light wires that would need to be triggered... and all 9 would need to be diode isolated from each other.

In other words.....don't bother. LOL

slimjimtel

I hooked mine up, so now others can make that call. It's a quick connection, but your right, don't bother.

This is a lil off subject but while you guys are talking about wiring.... I have a suspension lighting kit that has a +12v lead for hooking up to a alarm, or other trigger. I'd like to wire to my dome light and I need a location. I tried at the domelight but that just triggers the lights on full time. I hv a set wired in my IS 250 and using a relay it works like a charm I found a wire in near the same location as the driver fuse box behind the dash.
Any help?

Great post Bruh!!

roadfrog

Good news is, if you installed the system and still have the two key FOBS (in other words, you were not required to surrender one for the installation), we are not affected.

I think u misunderstood. ...push to start vehicles are affected...so we are affected..it says standard ignition key systems would not be affected what's going on is something in the CPU is causing the car to shut off that won't happen with a key because it is a mechanical device that is turned.... with push to start its a signal going to the computer what they're saying is something with the dball interrupts the signal under specific circumstances, causing the car to shut off while in motion..I put a call into the head tech to get more specific information hopefully he'll be able to get back to me next week so I can update you further this is just an email that they blast so I figured I would put the information here because a lot of guys have been adding the RSR dball systems

Shibumi1

To further elaborate if you wanna do this test yourself..start your car manually then after it's running on the vehicle system activate your remote start then step on my break if the car shuts off your vehicle is affected basically its saying that while you're driving if you accidentally bump your fob or your phone and activate the remote start then step on the brake while the car is under power or in motion the electrical system can be turned off so please test this in a park position

slimjimtel

Doesn't affect LS cars with RSR
