has anyone found a way to get the key-fob to also be able to CLOSE the power trunk? Currently only way is to press the physical button in the trunk.

 

I think this might be a safety design. Same with not being able to put your windows up using your key fob... just in case someone has their hand or head stuck in the windows.

 

I can use my key fob to close and open all the windows(including sunroof) by holding lock/unlock key though. You do need TIS to turn this function on as it is off by default. All my other Lexus vehicles all had this function. Interesting part is the trunk open button is only operable when vehicle is not moving(makes sense) but strangely for RX and NX's trunk, open button can close the trunk by holding the button but the GS and ES can't.

 

US spec cars can't close windows from the FOB.

Did the 2013 have the power trunk option? I don't remember that at all. Not even sure I can auto close the trunk now on my 2016.

 

2013 did not have power trunk

 

...in North America...

 

That's interesting...I guess other market's fingers aren't important lol. I haven't tried it on my Canadian spec GS. I did ask the tech to turn on the option for me though, he never mentioned to me
it's only opening or anything.

 

sorry bout the confusion....Yeah mine is a 4th spec GS (in Hong Kong), model year 2012, fully loaded but surprisingly this didn't include TPMS and that button to close the trunk; no even the cabin button closes the trunk...only the button inside the trunk closes the trunk.

 

Lexus always withholds options from the US market. Just let custom orders pay more for all the options, stop blocking us Lexus USA.

 

its really strange because the relay inside the cabin, should be able to initiate the electric relay to the trunk button. Maybe somebody with a lot more electrical know-how has done it, but i just haven't been able to find it.

 

I'm good with that stuff. I've been planning on doing a trunk retrofit, got all the parts except for one. Waiting on the last piece to come from Japan. I'm definitely going to want the relay to trigger a close as well so I'll figure it out.

 

jp-carparts.com?

 

No, used 3rd party freight forwarder to buy and ship to USA.

 

I'm in Hong Kong, so any dealer spec Asia part i can get from the local dealership (except for Navigation updates - yeah figure that). If anyone wants my help to check prices, i could help and shipping is usually cheap in HK. The jdm parts website is quite competitive in terms of pricing for the parts i've already checked, but for me its a bit crazy to ship it all the back here to Asia.

 

Thanks for offer. Can you see how much is part number for a lane recognition camera 86460-30050 or 86460-30051.
