Hi there! I'm new to this forum and a new Lexus owner, scoring a great deal on a 2013 LS460 L earlier this wk. with only 71k mi. It's a beautiful car in immaculate condition, and the driving experience is literally like floating on a cloud! After spending the past 6 wks. researching and test driving various cars, I narrowed it down to a 4th gen. LS and realized that the LWB version simply looks better, locating one right here in FL. Driving it home I couldn't seem to find the cruise control though and figured I'd just check the owner's manual later. Well, let's just say I was shocked and very disappointed to read "(if equipped)". And we're not talking adaptive cruise control here as I was expecting just the basic type in what was a $78k flagship back in 2013 dollars. After all, Corollas and Camrys have been offering this as a standard feature for years. So I naturally assumed it would be included here as well, but unless I'm able to find someone who's able to provide an aftermarket install, I'll need to start shopping this car on the used market, less than a week after buying it and hopefully without taking too much of a loss. Does anyone have any experience adding aftermarket cruise control to one of these vehicles? And generally speaking, is this even feasible? If not, I'd appreciate any tips or advice on reselling it, and where should I go for a decent offer? Thanks, in advance, for your suggestions!

 

Haven't heard about Toyota / Lexus without cruise control. Could you please post a photo of your steering wheel?

 

Pretty mind boggling, I agree! It's parked out in the street at the moment, but I can assure you it does not have the small stalk on the lower right, behind the steering wheel.

 

It doesn't make any sense. From what I see for 2013 LS460 CC was standard equipment and radar cruise was optional. Maybe something is not original there? Something got replaced at some point? Whenever you have a chance please grab a photo of the steering wheel, dash, switches on the left side and the center console. This way we can try to figure which options this car has.

 

Looks like you helped me out indirectly! Based on your msg. I went outside to take pics, but was pleasantly surprised to see 3 stalks this time since the steering wheel was rotated w/the CC stalk now on top. So I completely missed it before...thanks, and problem solved!
