If I remember correctly there is a bunch of immobilizers in the steering column you have to find them and switch everything from your old one to the new one.

As 05ls430518 said you need to remove nut at red circle and swap steering lock ECU.

Lexus did the install and are saying my there’s nothing that can make it work. The used steering column assembly actuator and multiplex won’t connect to test of the car because it’s already programmed and can’t be reprogrammed. It’s a 2007 es350 so it’s a push start. Does that make a difference.

You would be better off in the es section, your es could have 18 different things that the ls does not have. I have 0 knowledge on the es platform sorry best of luck.
