Lexus Link has been discontinued. What year LS? There was a TSB to remove the Lexus Link buttons and replace with trim that has no buttons, as well as disconnect the Lexus Link communication unit in right side trunk.

See attached showing how to easily disconnect the Lexus Link unit in the lower trunk.

The antenna is used for the telematics of the Lexus Link system. It is now discontinued, non-functional, and obsolete due to the change from analog cellphone signals to digital ones.

It's for the Lexus Link system, which was discontinued mid-model.

On star is a General Motors product/service. Check it out ...

The phone button? The phone button should work to answer your bluetooth-connected cell phone.
