Res+
I'm thinking about purchasing a RES+ with install from my dealer. There just isn't a great Viper installer in my area. I've got a quote from my dealer for $999 for the part and labor. It seems quite high, but from what I understand there is a fair about of labor involved with the install. I've looked through the threads, but there seems to be a dearth of info about RES+ installs due to a lot of people going for the viper system. Anybody got any comments on 1)price that I was quoted and 2)the RES+ in general.

Hmmm. Troubling that there is confusion. There is a website: https://www.lexusresplus.com/ However, it doesn't give compatibility by model number. My dealer tech specialist is pretty sure that the GS is compatible. Mine is a 2013 F-sport.

Hit the "compatibility" button up top, and tell it you have an RX 350. Pick some random carrier and random phone. You should get 5 tabs of information telling you what works with that phone, and the 5th tab is the "RES+ (if equipped)" tab.
Do the same again and tell it you have a GS 350. You won't even see the "RES+" tab any more.

I doubt it can be installed unfortunately. You might be able to install it and you'll be able to start it with the keyfob but I don't think Lexus servers will acknowledge the signal as the 4GS isn't supported. AFAIK only the RX, EX and GX are compatible. I recently had Viper Smart Start with tracking installed and love it. It's worth asking your dealer to install it. Doubt they will but it doesn't hurt to try.
