Not me, I've never modified any car I own other than Xpel and Weather-Tecs.

Battery died this morning. I replaced it and now my infotainment system is busted. I already tried some of the tips I found on here to fix it.

Did you try the Tip of cutting everything off in the car before you disconnected and switched the new battery in?

I've mentioned it at least a zillion times - if you'll get a Lexus branded replacement battery replaced at your dealership - not only is the battery a good one, but the price is fair and the warranty is good too. But equally important is that when the dealership replaces the battery the dealership's service department takes full responsibility if anything fails to work after the battery is replaced, e.g. infotainment system, HVAC, sound amplifier, NAV, electric emergency brake, power seat, rough idle, etc. and there's no diagnosis fee or towing charge which has been somewhat commonplace for DIYers and sometimes when people have auto supply stores do the replacement.

Do you have covers on those calipers? The calipers on my 18 FSport and way different. Wait... AWD perhaps? So different calipers from RWD?

Yea, just AWD, so guessing that is why. I didn't think/realize they would be different. Had same calipers on my '15 non Fsport (awd)

Now I know for the next time I have to change the battery. It's one of those issues that I didn't know was an issue until it became an issue.
