Emailed seller twice. No response so far. I sent pics of plugs not matching and requested refund. Hopefully, seller replies.

If no reply in next 2 weeks, I’ll contact credit card company and request refund.

That sucks. Hopefully you are able to get a resolution one way or the other, but at least you can get a refund through credit card company if needed.

I wish there were a legit product for this. In the meantime, I guess I'll have to learn to hit the button when I start up the truck.

I have found that modulating the brake pedal pressure allows one to selectively engage the auto start/stop. More pressure activates it. I've seen this on other non-Lexus cars as well, that I've rented in past.

I sent them a whatsapp chat with that sold out part as an example that may fit.

Asked they replace the part.

I am sure they took me as serious as ‘Dear Prince’ does but hopefully they answer tonight. Some of these Chinese sellers are knowledgeable and helpful.

can not fit LX600
Sorry, we do not have this product for LX600
Friends, this 8pins
not 9 pins. we have checked with a professional. can not fit LX600

we checked. for LX600 is another type。 but we do not have it
Friends, if you insist on buying and the product does not work on the LC600 car, we do not accept any returns and refunds
for LX600 is different type

i dont know what to say looks very similar

An update on this:

I ordered the following product, which seemingly has an 8-pin connector and is explicitly advertised for 2022-2024 LX600. It's coming from China. We'll see if it fits. I will definitely report back when I receive and try it.

https://www.ebay.com/itm/196396679742

If it doesn't work the eBay seller says I can return it for refund. Hopefully this is an updated part.

UPDATE: Appears to be the same part as that immediately shown above. I will post an update when I receive it.

I would pay legit money for someone to solve this issue. I hate the auto/start stop feature. Fortunately they still have the button there. I had heard the feds were mandating that the button be removed but perhaps I had that wrong.

I, too, am DESPERATE to get an appropriate switch to take care of this stupid, STUPID "function".

From what I have read, there is no mandate to remove the button, but automakers get a "credit" from the EPA on their cars' green regulations if they include the function (switchable or not).

I am supposed to get this product next week. I am not too hopeful that it will be the correct one for our LX600 application, though the eBay auction web site VERY CLEARLY states that it works with 2022-2024 LX600 vehicles. Based on the other folks who have reported and shown similar product here, I'm not too hopeful, but at least will be able to return it for a refund if it is not appropriate.

One thing I didn't see here is the process/procedure people used to get to the back of the dashboard switch, through the dashboard or the edge of the dashboard.

Can any folks who have tried to install this product, detail what they did to gain access to the area?

Thanks!

If you are referring to installing a dongle behind the AutoStart Stop switch it is easy. I to ordered one from the ALiExpress person that incorrectly listed it for the 2024 models. Sent numerous messages and nothing. Just threw it in the bin and wrote the 30 bucks or whatever I paid off. Not worth the time to bird dog. Pull the flat black plastic side cover off first that sits next to the door. Helps to have a plastic interior trim removal kit. 10 bucks on amazon. Just give it a tug (phrasing) and it will pop off, kind of move your hand around. it. Then the panel with the switch and the panel above it will pop off with a pull towards you when you are sitting in the driver's seat. Some folks tell you to remove one at time, they pull off nicely together. There are no screws or anything. Just try and pull direct out. If you yank at an angle you run the risk of breaking a tab.

Note I confirmed with a tech at the dealer they can’t turn it off. He was doing a relearn reset on my transmission and I offered him $20 to do it but he said he would just do it free. On our subsequent test drive he let me know it wasn’t possible.
