Default Long time GS owner and LS lurker, finally a LS owner

Hello all,

ive has several GS’s over the years and recently a 750li, before finally picking up a 2013 LS460L. It’s being delivered so I have a couple days until it arrives but I wanted to post up and ask about must do mods... It’s got air suspension and the rear console has the reclining seats and superset controls , not executive package setup so I know I want the controller to tie into the factory setup, and the Oliver exhaust setup to give it a little more rumble and of course tinted windows. But other that that what else would you guys steer me towards mod wise?

Wheels as well, but wheels will be a little bit unless I find something I can’t pass up...

Nice , congrats. You can do the DVD/Nav bypass. I've had good luck with Beatsonic products

in terms of the bypass. Which one are you using? Can I or is there one that allows to show what’s on my phone/Ipad thru the bypass?

Hi Whytry, congrats on your 2013 460L. You are in for a treat, with many miles and years of driving pleasure! Looking forward to pictures inside and out.

The first mod I did was a staggered wheel and tire setup (20"). You can see my signature for the other bits I did. I find one of the best mods was the bypass module. Looks wise, the side view mirrors and tail lights brought my 08 into the more modern/updated look

Welcome to the dark side.

Thanks everybody! I have loved this car for awhile now and finally am part of the dark side.

Wheels are a must, just have to decide on what ones. I will post up pictures it’s delivered

Congrats and welcome! Wow, an L with executive package is a very rare find! I'm personally not into too many mods but the one that I'm planning on doing is adding the following Grom Audio VLine 2 for Google maps/Waze, music apps, etc. It's not a nav bypass though. Good luck and enjoy!

I’m trying to figure out the data systems controller for the factory airbags. I know the box I need, ASC680,but what harness is it? I can’t figure it out. Is it the H-087G?

Have you received the car yet? Looks like you are planning some interesting mods, so it would be great to see how your car looks now!

I believe the harness is H-087G. It's listed in CJITTY's first post on his thread.

whytry - Nice find. I would have probably held off to find an executive. But with 5 in the family, a 4 seater would have been difficult.

Some tasty mods in my opinion? Tinted windows, ASC (I'm glad the local guys talked me into, it sits too high in stock form), prestigious society by-pass, oh and what else ... hmmmmm ... oh yeah, Exhaust Vents. My car is so satisfying now. To look at and listen to.

Yeah, maybe little but I have a "skin condition" so per my Dr. I can have every window in my vehicles tinted and not get a ticket for it. All of my previous cars had tinted windshields as well.
