It's the start button for the LS 500.
Part Number: 89611-11010

amayama.com has it for $101.07:
https://www.amayama.com/en/part/toyota/8961111010
I've ordered from them before, part ships direct from Japan.

Even for $101.07 + shipping I don't think it's worth it.

Thanks for providing the actual part number! The chrome
bezel on the stock push button looks so cheap to me.

+1 for not crazy. I’d consider this. Is it a direct swap?

I believe it is a direct swap. Pretty sure it is an easy install. I ordered it, I’ll post an update once I receive it.

Yes, I changed mine with this exact part.

Easy swap - gently pry/pop out the original with a small flathead screwdriver, unplug the connector on the back end, plug in the connector to the new one and slide back in. 2 minute swap.

I like it, looks better than the original and more generic start button.
