Just imagined a car salesman at the dealer try to explain how to work the $2500 LL option to a normal SC's buyer.............all you have to do is do this, that and this.....remember you must do this before that, then do this key sequence really fast on your stock key, then this would happen. The buyer is like huh, what? Say it again? Hell I think most normal car salesman are not smart enough to learn how to use the LL. Even I was a little turn off by it, the main reason I want the LL is for convenience and it sounds complicated and troublesome to operate it.

Back to the LL, showing off and the coolness aside, it is really very convenient. As simple as it looks holding down the button for 25 seconds, it really is a drag. Now we can remotely activate it or one touch it and watch the coolness. Now that I know how to operate the LL with 100% success, I am really loving this mod!

 

I was just telling another CL member locally how the convenience factor is even greater than the cool factor---and the cool factor is pretty damn cool!

I also was thinking what a simple mod this could have been in a "tech" package for this car along with smart start and the smart key, bumper sensors and rear view camera, sonar cruise...maybe paddles shifters and cooled seats???

Lexus clearly missed another opportunity to differentiate and update the SC430 in the last 4-5 years of it's model year that could have made it more relevant and desirable.

 

I'd be happy with the tech package from my wifes Infiniti that was $20K cheaper than a new SC!

 

Can you still order one of these luxlink units, or was it only available via preorder?

 

Can't seem to find the time to install it.

 

Nope...they only did a special run of them on a pre-order/special order situation. You can look on eBay or craigslist to find one or post a "wanted" ad here on CL. I know several people bought two.

 

Contact Steve at Luxury Motorworks and see if he has any left.

I just ordered the full boat (LL, Alarm, Windows) for my 2006 SC even though I missed the pre-order via Stalkerbook.

 

Finally took the back seat out tonite and Steve was right the black wire with white stripe had not been cut for just 2 window opperation so I simply cut it and I was able to lower and raise the 1/4 windows so im 100% functional. Only thing I dont know how to test out is the alarm add on.

Next is a Erebuni rep lip kit and powdercoating or painting my calipers (and adding the lexus decals).

 

Robert, good stuff. I will probably ask your assistance on some of these things. Once I get the car back from the shop, I will take on this LL install!

Thanks in advance.

 

Now that I know how to use the LuxLink 100%, I am loving it! It makes operating the top so much easier. Before operating the top is like an event, now is just like operating the windows, I truely love it

Thank you Steve

 

would anything that i do stop the 2 button push and walk away from working it dosent work 100%

 

If the 2-touch doesn't work, then Luxlink isn't working. The only reason I know of for that is that you used the rear windows. Remember, that the car has to be shut off and restarted to go from rear windows to top up/down. Example: If I have the top up and put all windows down (in particular, the rear quarters) You have engaged Luxlink to work the rear quarters and will NOT work the top. What I would usually do is wait until I come up to a red light and click the ignition off and on real quick. That resets the Luxlink and will now work the roof.

In other words, once you start the SC, the Luxlink is engaged and can EITHER work the roof OR rear windows-Not both! By turning off the SC and restarting it-you have reset the Luxlink. Hope this helps.

yep its the 1/4 windows...makes sense now lol

 

The 1st time the top doesn't work after I used the 1/4 windows and I didn't know why, I was very puzzled. The engine don't shut off either after I two clicks the top button and pull the key out......because the LuxLink was in a loop. My sister was with me too, she was very surprised when the engine don't shut off when I pull the key out

You really have to know what you are doing to use the LuxLink, especially if you got the 1/4 window module

 

Here's a reminder of one tip Solman posted earlier in the thread, just in case you run into that problem...If you're out of sync with the LL you can insert the key into the door lock cylinder and "Lock" the door three times to shut down the motor. Or if you wait about 30 seconds, the motor will shut down on it's own. (remember the key fob buttons do not function with the engine running. So three turns in the door lock and voila' the motor shuts off.)
