It's the start button for the LS 500.
Part Number: 89611-11010

amayama.com has it for $101.07:
https://www.amayama.com/en/part/toyota/8961111010
I've ordered from them before, part ships direct from Japan.

Even for $101.07 + shipping I don't think it's worth it.

Thanks for providing the actual part number! The chrome
bezel on the stock push button looks so cheap to me.

+1 for not crazy. I’d consider this. Is it a direct swap?

I believe it is a direct swap. Pretty sure it is an easy install. I ordered it, I’ll post an update once I receive it.

Yes, I changed mine with this exact part.

Easy swap - gently pry/pop out the original with a small flathead screwdriver, unplug the connector on the back end, plug in the connector to the new one and slide back in. 2 minute swap.

I like it, looks better than the original and more generic start button.

All the lexus push start buttons have the same plugs and interchangeable. So yes it will fit your 2015.

Nothing some people are just really itching to mod the car when there is nothing else to do.
