I don't understand your question, are you asking if all 42 units Steve just made have all the same functions?

If that's your question, then they are not, Steve specifically asked us to tell them exactly what we want so he can give us what we want. Every features are a la carte.

Ed, speaking of road trip, I meant to tell you, driving to Luxury Motorworks last Saturday was really my 1st long distance trip since I removed the muffler, and the increased exhaust sounds start to be annoying after 30 minutes. It start to drone in my head. So don't remove the muffler if you frequently take your SC on long trip, which I remember that you do. Just remove the stock resonators and be happy with, the sounds increase from that is very mild.

Normally I only use my SC to cruise up and down the PCH for a short amount of time, which the sounds increased from the muffler delete is perfect.

Jeff, thanks for that bit of info. I like the way it sounds with the injen intake. That's good enough for me right now. You might be able to show me later this year. Plans are to be in your neck of the woods for the holidays. I'll know more later and email you.
Hope we can get together then.

Default Got the SC back!!!

Steve delivered my SC to me this AM. He brought it to the school where I teach. It was worth the week that I gave it up. He returned it detailed with the weatherstrip on both doors replaced (the ones by the mirrors)-Yea- no more wind noise! The Luxlink works great and I gave him my other two units to reprogram. Steve feels that he had it long enough to put it through all tests and no glitches popped up.

The luxlink comes with remote top and remote start. Aside from that system, you can also get the rear quarter feature that allows you to lower/raise the rear quarter windows using the drivers window switch. The other option is a shock sensor that works off the factory alarm.

The best part of all these "toys" is that they all work with the oem remote, window switch, and top open/close switch.

Steve told me he was ready to ship NOW! Enjoy guys--You'll love it.

John

Was the weatherstrip just replaced with stock or a different strip to get rid of the wind noise? My passenger door has a slight noise, drivers door none.

I can't wait to get my Luxlink. The only issue then is finding the time to install it.

The weatherstrip is stock from Lexus. You can search it-there have been many posts about that problem. Sewell stocks both sides for less than $100, but Lexus labor is $$$$. A few members have done their own. My SC is an 02 and they started leaking about 3 mos ago.
