When I called Sewell a month back, they said Lexus would have one out in 2008. Whether that meant mid-current-model-year or 2009 model year was unknown. The remote on page 1 of this thread is made by Lexus, not Sewell. They told me I could call (469) 831-6320 and ask for Derrick. He's not with Sewell, but they said he may have a working remote start. I never called him, since I'm still waiting on my baby.

and the stupid thing is, once u start ur engine with remote start, ur keyfob doesnt work, it has to open the door with ur starter remote.

ya i know what you mean. stupid how u have to open the door like that..

you really got 2 remote? from west side lexus right? i only got one! wtf

Why not just get the Lexus unit?

I'm not paying $1300. My cost is max $660 + tax.

The lexus unit does not work for US cars, or let me say. No one is able to get it to work or willing to try it.

If it does work, i wouldn't mind paying for it. But tell me where to get it then if it does.
