Hi,

I recently purchased my 2008 Lexus IS 350 through my dealership. This is a Japanese import Lexus IS 350. I am puzzled as to what is the wire sticker on the front top right of the windscreen and the half dome shape thing sitting in front of the steering wheel is for (see photos below for detail). I have asked my dealer and he could not tell what it's for.

Please have a look at the photos below and tell me what are these for and can i remove it safely?







Thank you!

 

looks like Auto Starter, hay Gamma lock up your car stand outside and press the button on the door handle 3 times if the car start by itself, if the car start by itself then it's an auto starter.

 

Perhaps some sort of aftermarket auto-rain sensing devices?

 

flashy night lights for the interior lol....

 

Nope it didn't work.

I don't thinks it's aftermarket rain sensor. I can see the factory rain sensor bit on the backside of the rear mirror in the centre.

Could it be something to do with Japanese GPS aerial or ETC aerial? If so, can i remove it from the front windscreen?

 

Whole dashboard going off . Ya u can remove it why not

 

Thanks for all your help. My electric mechanic told me these are just japanese NTSC TV antenna and that it will not work outside japan. I had those removed with a peace of mind.

 

hey brother, did you ever find out what that little dome thing is?

 

Strange, never seen that as there are more elegant solutions.
