That is a much simpler switch...Lexus went all fancy on just a common switch LOL.

Acrad

That's for sure.

Here is a back shot of switch from a German site

GB2011GX

The place I ordered mine from said my VIN doesn't match up.
I responded that it was compatible upfit that adds capability.

I'll probably get shot down. (Someone let me borrow a 2013 Premium VIN real quick! LOL )

GB2011GX

WAIT! this thing comes on the Executive 2018 pkg...
http://live.cdemo.com/view-details/a...x-460/MavXzdeD
Only $86K converted currency of $67,859


There is a pic of the switch on the center console! WHAT part number is it on the Executive pkg 2018 model?????? (BOOM!) {I also grabbed the VIN from the dealer Ad JTJJM7FX9J5188010}




Maybe we need to be looking for the NEWEST switch!

Acrad

EDIT: Never mind...looks like your ad has a VIN.


This is from the '14 or '15 Executive for sale up in Victoria, BC

JTJJM7FX5E5069750

GB2011GX

lexuspartsnow doesn't let me select trim pkg, it shows the 60070 for the 2017 GX 460.

and here's a VIN for a 2017 Luxury model in Westmont, IL JTJJM7FX4H5151974

not trying to be under-handed, just trying to think outside the box here.

What shipping method did you use?
Postal Service Ordinary or Postal Service Express?

Acrad

Use "Ordinary" for the shipping

bbqsoup

Thanks...now I'm waiting for the invoice to come in.

I blame these part shortage on the Russians LOL...it looks like alot of them were replacing it.

bbqsoup

Btw, Oemvehicleparts told me that they got 6 orders for the switch and was able to fulfill one of them - hope it's one of us on here LOL

He mentioned that if it is discontinued Lexus would have cancelled them and showed as NLA. But they are showed as back order with no ETA

Hopefully this 020 isn't as scare as the switch is. At least this Japanese supplier seems to have a quantity. In addition...it being used in the Prado as well helps.

EDIT: I sent an inquiry off to Motor Heads Japan about availability of the Prado switch. For those that are interested in that path they may have a better price and their shipping costs are low. I'm not sure if this is correct or not but I thought I read in one of the RU threads that MTS and Crawl aren't available on the Prado in Japan so it might be one of those parts that isn't available from this vendor.

Acrad

Now the Prado gets a stock locker option as well in other markets but some interesting use info about MTS here.

Looks like they get one more MTS mode "Rock and Dirt". Also the comment about sand... I'd definitely say it is worth a shot there.

https://practicalmotoring.com.au/4x4...-systems-work/

"The Kakadu also has MTS is Multi-Terrain Select, Toyota’s adaptive terrain system. Modes are Rock and Dirt, Rock, Mogul, Loose Rock and Mud/Sand."

"Each of these modes remap the brake traction control, stability control, throttle sensitivity and gearshift points to optimise the vehicle for a specific terrain."

Once proven it works I think the 040 MTS for the '14+ might be a scarce one too.
