Hi everyone 

just bought a 2005 is250 2.5

very pleased with it, a big improvement on the same year a4 convertible I had. Just wondering, I had a vag401 code reader which was very useful and cheap for the Audi. Is there anything similar for Lexus? 
 

cheers

Yes there is - just search eBay or amazon and you should find something suitable.

If you have access to a laptop then the best thing is to buy a miniVCI cable, again, from the Bay of Fleas or amazon.

These cables almost always come with a pirated copy of Techstream, which is the exact same diagnostic software that Lexus Techs use in the dealer workshops. Of course, I'm not advocating the use of pirated software, that's a matter for your own conscience. The correct way would be to download a free and legitimate copy of Techstream from Lexus themselves and then buy a block of time (1 hour, 4 hours, a day etc., etc) to use it when you want to.

Whatever you decide though, you'll still need that miniVCI cable anyway, to connect the laptop to the car.
