Congrats! I remember how excited I was when I purchased my LS460 several years ago. I'm still excited and contented. Drive and enjoy.

Well the kit for the $60ish 5 wire self install kit worked fine in my 2014... and I just did the LSALT kit that Steve @SW17LS did and I have been using Android Auto but, it comes with both Apple carplay and Android auto.

So the options are there

I did the Dball 3 /DB 3... Do a search on ebay, find a seller that will program it for you... and it should be around $65... Fairly easy install and maybe about 2 hours and you have remote start

This is 3x lock on your remote to start the car, it's limited to the range of the remote BUT, no extra remote on your keychain...

Does the DBall3 require you to splice any wires or is it just plug and play?

Well, you have to tie into 5 wires, We used T-TAPS, just clip on and plug in to wires. There is a large black wire, you will have to cut back the cover on it and solder the wire to it, it's not too hard to do.

If you wanted do this, the best thing I would do, pull the battery on the car, then just unplug from the ECU... connect to the wires while it's disconnected from the ECU. Trying to get them on when plugged in can be a little challenging if you have big hands... This is the easiest way to do it..

It is not plug and play but, if your a little DIY type person, it really is not that hard... Read through that thread, you'll get a good idea on what it takes to install...

This car is AMAZING!! Love it! The air suspension is soooo smooth. It’s a 2013 and still riding on the original tires. Looking to swap them out for the P7s like everyone suggests.

the original owner barley drove the car. 40k miles in 7 yrs was an older couple (perfect 1st owner lol). Interior looks showroom fresh.

Beautiful. I love pearl paint--makes the car seem to change colors. I've had mine for 2.5 years now and I still smile every time i drive it!

Love the car, always wanted a LS in that color... I just always wanted to avoid air because I wanted to keep a trouble free ride. Someday I will move up to it... just not now...

Enjoy it !
