Yes, the latch lights up and so does the interior of the coin box.

DON'T PUSH IT!

Lexus put it there to see if anyone would notice. It sends all your personal information via satellite to Lexus HQ and you'll start receiving spam emails on all your likes. Oh wait, that's facebook. Never mind.

It's the trash compactor. The LS does not come equipped with the traditional over the gear shifter trash bag commonly found in BMW and Mercedes.

Yes a coin drawer. If ya push the button to open it it should be full of gold Kruggerannds like the rest of us.

A side not keep it pushed in I broke the damn thing off with my leg getting out of my last LS in a hurry.
