Does anyone know how much it cost to add intuitive parking assist? I just purchased a 2010 RX350 from CarMax and that was the only feature on the car it doesn't have that I really want.
$700.00 Approx. I too wanted to add the park assist to my 2010 RX450h, and the service advisor told me it could be done. When I talked to the man at the dealership who coordinated the after market installation of the system, all the details were revealed. The after market Park Assist is NOT exactly like the factory installed option. The dashboard integration is absent. Don't expect to get the display in the dash that shows the car and which sensor is detecting proximity. The after market equipment puts red LEDs in the rear headliner above the rear window. Only rear sensors are provided. An alert beeper is provided that is mounted in the tailgate or rear section of the car. Holes are drilled in the bumper and larger sensors mounted like the older Cadillac sensors that fit in from outside the bumper, not from inside. The sensors are painted the color of the car, but I have seen them left black, as they come out of the box. You have to get a body shop to paint them to match the car. My dealership provides that with installation for about $700.00. I decided against the after market solution, and bought a new RX 5 years later with the option factory installed. The factory option includes sensitivity adjustment and front and rear sensors. Warning sound volume can be adjusted and comes out of the stereo speakers. They just don't offer that after market.
In this pic, I see the installed grey buzzer. Was the plug for the buzzer, located right there in that spot on your RX350? I have no no empty plugs/no empty connector right there on mine. I do see the white and yellow wires that are going to the underside of the grey buzzer. Were those wires and the connector tucked away down under that silver/grey box that's show in your pic?
Finally found the plug for the beeper. It's not under the silver box but taped onto a wiring harness on drivers side of the silver box. Barely able to see it but it's there. Factory parking assist fully retrofitted with sound and with on-screen display

good work Lesguy! ... can you do a write up on this to include all the parts needed with the part numbers and total cost for this mod. it will be greatly appreciated!
Bought GS 200t and we thought..."told" it had Intuitive Parking Assist...but
it didn't. It only had BACK-UP...we HIT the ceiling when we found out otherwise.
Our fault...but we screamed..murder.
What came of this!
Lexus is going to put it in...Company will pay for HALF..and the
sales guy is going to pay the other half.
We feel bad about the young guy paying.
I think we'll pay the other half.
Cost from what we were told...$800.
Now the question is...is it Lexus equipment or 3rd party
Yes...DON'T DO IT! Comes from Korea..and looks like CRAP.
We even had the Dealership install it..the guy came to the
house..put it in. We had the Disgusting looking color light
thing BEHIND the dash as it was a very bad eyesore.
It still doesn't work..and there is NO BUTTON to turn it
off or on.
We asked for a button or switch...he never came back.
Make SURE it's factory..FACTORY!!!!!!
funny. My ordered parts (used ECU and used wiring harness, both from ebay) just arrived in the mail.
ECU definitely works and the vehicle definitely appears to be prewired. A few pics
Parking Assist wiring plug, connected to the 'fake" ECU. (The beige/light tan colored box at the top of the pic)
Wire unplugged
Wire plugged into the Parking Assist ECU obtained from Ebay
Results (note: no sensors plugged in yet)
Hello, I know that this is an old thread and post, but I am trying to follow your lead and install the park assist on my Lexus RX 350 2010 and I'm having a hard time of removing the yellow plastic ECU and replacing it with the actual ECU module. Is held by clips and if yes how to pull out? Do I have to remove the glovebox and the air bag on the passenger's side in order to take this out?
Many thanks in advance for any input you can provide.
Hi. Just bought a used Lexus RC300H Sport 2016. There is no front and rearparki g sensors. Am willingto add OEM parts that works with the Ecu. Can you guys help

ECU and harness should be here next week. I see a lot of aftermarket bumper sensors on ebay (China) for a fraction of OEM new cost. I also see used OEM for twice as much as China ebay, but still 1/4 of the cost of brand new. I also have found info where painting sensors with a thin layer of paint will result on minimal degradation to sensor sensitivity. I may go with used OEM and paint.
Stay tuned for those interested in adding OE parking assist option/feature
