Thanks, I just used this thread to disable the Lexus Link message
I just want to thank the CL board for helping me with this issue. I Have a 2003 LS430UL, I disconnected both connectors and then re-connected the male and female connectors closest to the rear of the car. The two connectors toward the front of the car i left disconnected. Now if I could just figure out how to adapt the cradle in the arm rest (it was original and purchased with the car) to accept an Iphone, I'd be living large!
THAAAAAAANK YOUUUUUUU!!!!!!!!!!!!! to everyone on this post, especially Bdragon007!! I just 3 weeks ago was able to acquire one of my dream cars, a 2003 LS430 with 68k original. I love this car, and that voice/error message was crawling on me....I mean, the fact that it would cut off my music. Anyway, I am not much of a DIY, so I was ready to just pay the $125 to Lexus of Bellevue, WA to shut it up. I plan to own this car for 10-15 years like my previous Acura (also a great car), so I figured it was worth it.
However, I am not incompetent with this stuff, so with the photos and the explanations I went out there just to take a look, and everything was JUST LIKE YOU SAID! I did it in 5 minutes! Voice gone! Everything works! $125 saved!
Thank you all again!
Ok, I am sort of confused, or am I right in line with what I need to do. See attached picture, yes, I used my phone. Don't mind my quick MS paint arrows...it was quick..
Is this right ? Upside down V is where it is being pulled from and arrow, where it's going.
Will this disable the "lexus link has a error" message and leave Lexus Homelink (garage opener) and rear speaker working ? As they are now...

Yes. See Lexus Service Campaign (attached) specifically pages 26 & 27.
Thank you ! I will get this done tomorrow with fixing a plate light that I have out...
Edit: thanks, simple swap, took a whole 2 min to do, No more annoying voice or delay on startup. Now if I could only find the sunglass holder with out the buttons for cheap, I would replace it..
Edit: the part is $36 on ebay....Hmmmm....

Yes, it's very easy, swap plugs and you're done. Changing out the the sunglasses holder is a little more involved, but still very DIY.
Just wanted to say thank you to everyone who posted pics and instructions. I just did this to my newly acquired 2002 LS430 and it is sooooo nice to not hear the error messages when starting up! Speakers work as before! I would love to get the non-memo style sunglass holder but I am coming up with nothing on ebay. Does anyone know where I can get one?
For 13+ years we have had to listen to that Lexus Link Error BS message EVERY time the car was started.... I finally got out there and found the plugs and switched them as explained in this forum,,,, 1.5 minutes later,,,Voila !!! I am not going to miss that annoying message...
