this was pulled becuase it just isn't compatible with the US IS.

 

Yes that is what I was told too. I wanted to get one also.

 

Carson Lexus had a set up and they where looking for a local customer to try it out. Not sure where that ended up and if they had any sucess. there was a thread on this but it never went anywhere that i am aware of. if you find out any info please post it

 

While totally cool... it looks like the love child of a candybar cell phone and a Lexus key fob

Looks like something funky was happening in the wife's purse!

 

Wouldnt it b cool if that little screen actually connects to the back up camera???

 

wow that key fob looks awesome! anyone know why the key fob would not be compatible with our cars?

 

Well, I saw this only on the www.lexus.jp website...meaning its stupidly 'exclusive' for Japan. Once again, I dont know whats the difference between Jap and America version, only one has the steering wheel on the right and the other on the left.

 

Japan always gets the good *****! end of story.. hahaha

 

What is that pic of in the lower right corner?

 

They also get power folding mirrors and tv...

 

This is a repost.
It won't work... mod project failed about 14 months ago.
You can give it a try again if you have the newer model.

Good luck.

 

This is a repeat of a rehash of a repost... Here's the skinny:

So far, the remote has only been confirmed to work with only JDM IS's... No one knows if it will work with a USDM IS because it hasn't been attempted yet. Carson has a unit, but Carson is a Toyota dealer, and doesn't have an IS to try it on. They were looking for a test fitter that would be willing to pay the cost of the unit. So far, they haven't found anyone willing to gamble with that much money. For those wondering why it wouldn't be compatible, it has to do with the fact that the JDM and USDM IS's have completely different ECU's. For this to work, there are a variety of modules that have to work together to certify access to the keyless lock and starting systems. If it doesn't work, you'll be left with a 3,500 pound paperweight.

I've seen the unit in person at Carson before. It's actually a lot bigger than most people would think. It's about the size of a small cell phone for todays standards.

 

hard to tell, but it looks like the dash board in front of the driver. you think there is something you have to leave in the car in order for the remote start to work? thats all i can think of!

 

the right pic is the dash of the car. On top of the dash, it has a transmitter or some sort to recieve the signal from the remote. Lets just say, its an antenna with a base secured to the dash that helps long range transmission
