CANBUS remedial work with main dealers.

[IronLizard]

It's been over a month now, and I've personally not had any joy so I have to ask, has anyone actually booked in to have this work since the Lexus statement came out?

The original article comments all appear to have been wiped and there's not much on there at all now.

Latest article (I agree it's not the original post-BBC Watchdog statement) is here https://mag.lexus.co.uk/lexus-uk-statement-on-vehicle-theft/

They said 'from April' - and here we are. I might email my dealer again and see if anything has progressed.

My local Dealer (Hatfield) said they would start booking at the end of the Month.

Just thought I would ask whether anyone has had any related contact with/from their dealer? I, too, was supposed to hear from mine around now, and perhaps during the course of next week I may well give mine a prod unless others might be aware of any change to the Lexus scheduling.

The problem is that it won't stop them doing nearly 4K worth of damage trying to steel it.

Thy pull back the bumper on the LC as there is not enough room to get in through the wheel arch.

Lexus changed their public update from “April” to “coming weeks” - suggesting a delay…

I'm kind of hoping Lexus will do their best to "advertise" they are now ready, willing and able to fix this significant problem in an effort to dissuade burglar Bill from bothering with our cars. It does seem as if JLR are now reducing the theft rate of their products, but yes I agree for a while longer the Lexus brand will be a prime target and the sooner this problem is resolved the better.

I had to call them again and again, but they eventually did it.

So are you saying they fixed the Canbus problem by encryption or some such method, or did they put a mechanical plate over the access point?

Just the plate
