These are added by the dealer and they give you no choice but to take them at a big mark up I'm sure. Also Lexus states only 150 for US market, not sure if that includes Canada.

I think it's whole North America like the 500 of the LE... data dots? I thought our cars are GPS tracked from factory cuz my friend's 2020 RX is GPS tracked, I remember a year ago it got stolen but lexus track it down and thief tried to find the oem tracker but couldn't find it...

There is an additional tracking mechanism a lot of dealers are pushing. Like a few other dealer add-ons, it fell into the ‘non-negotiable’ category. It’s a bunch of hogwash if you ask me, so I avoided those who pushed it.

Congrats on the new purchases everybody! Two years later and I still love seeing the posts. 🥰

[size=13px]Apparently[/size] data dots can track parts of the car if stolen and chopped for parts, probably won't help much if vehicle manages to leave the country????

What is data dots theft protection?

This system prevents thieves from removing your unique vehicle ID number without defacing or replacing the various components marked. By applying DataDots to your vehicle, it is harder for a thief to sell your car, therefore making it a far less desirable target.

Very nice and congrats on the 2024!! Other than the black mirrors, anything else changed from 2023?

No I have not noticed anything else different yet. Everything else seems to be about the same.

Ben Hardy’s latest IS500 video showcases an Iridium Silver spec. Noticed it too had fully black mirrors and thought…okay…that’s a thing across the 2024 board. (Like the dashcams in the 2023s.)

On my spec, I personally dig the Black-Chrome-Blue mirrors. It matches the badge, the emblems, and my wheels.

2023 didn’t come with dash cam as standard, where I live anyway.

I know several owners who got them, I just assumed it was standard. You’re right looks like it’s an option.

yeah, I had the choice of one with and one without and chose one without, mainly because i didn’t want the red interior.

Yep. I think it was a $300 charge, if I recall correctly. Even at $500, it's still worth it to have it installed at the port, for me, anyway.

For me, a Fitcamx seemed to be a 100% better value and product. Works great.

I'll be honest. I didn't care whether it came with the car or not. I was buying this one either way because it was the color combo l wanted. But, I am glad that I have a dash cam at all. I never had one before.
