This is absolutely fascinating...but, I think I'm screwed. I don't have advanced PCS on my 600. Just radar cruise and basic PCS. I don't have the stereo cameras above rear view mirror or in the headlamp, so I think I can admire this mod from afar FTL

^^^ Ah now I remember. I think you are right, you need advanced PCS and I don't have that either which is why I wasn't getting too excited about this mod.

Well, Thank "db 1 nto" in the Lexus Owners Club Europe, who started the search for installing LKA on the 2008 model LS 600.... He had to sell his car...so I continued only with what he had found out....

Oh ok, gotcha. But still, for the rare amount of folks that have the advanced PCS and want to be ambitious, they now can do something pretty cool. This kinda reminds me of when you were little and found out about World Negative One ( -1 ) in Nintendo Super Mario Bros by jumping backwards into the bricks LOOOOL. #SomethingAlwaysThereButNeverDiscoveredUntilNow

The LKA option is OK...I guess.

Now what would really make my nipples hard is an aftermarket integration showing those yellow rear wheel tracks when in reverse depending on front wheel direction.

Could this system be installed from the factory already in 2007/2008...even Lexus said it was not working (with the LKA system) and then when the model came did not have these high beams with Visible Ray Cut Filters installed....????..or do the 2008 models have them and that's why my LKA system is working so well :

I found this picture and details in this presentation online:

Press the : Hybrid CH & BE tab
Press the : Pre-collision System tab
Press the: Type 2 tab
Press the: Headlight with Near-Infrared Projector
and read..... ( I did..and learned a lot I did'nt know before )

I'm guessing I know the answer, but with LKA on will it guide you back into your lane? (as in the steering will nudge the car a little)

My HS250h did. With that and the radar cruise, the car practically drove itself.

I'm very interested in this but I'm not sure what part to buy. I also have a 2008 ls600hl exec with advanced pcs (made in 2007 I think - Canadian car). Should I actually buy a part from a 2009-2010 model ? Will report back if this thing work (if I can figure the right part first).

Thanks for the help
