Default Thinking of replacing the Remote Touch switch ****..

I have the older 2013 switch **** and would like to replace it with this one:

Is it a simple switch or do i need to take it apart?

I thought it was cheaper directly from the dealer from what others have said.

The old thread shows it was approx $10. Part number 84811-30060 according to the pictures. As any dealer you call for the whole sale discount.

Yup, it fits. Very easy installation and cheaper to buy it at the dealer or eBay.

How many are you buying to get the whole sale discount? 10?

Guys, the retail price is $13.26 so even if there's not a discount this thing is cheap.

There are many online Lexus Dealers that will sell the part for less than $10. Just Google the part number and you'll see.

I have a wholesaler account but know that they will give wholesale price to anyone if asked.

Any amount saved is a plus. Right?

Finally stopped by the dealer and picked up the ****. They have updated the part number to 84811-30061 and it cost me $14. It took 2 secs to replace. Just pull off the old one and put the new one in place.

How's your wrist pad holding if I'm not mistaken you improvised to make it work. Shifter looks nice though.
