The Shadow system doesn't use the Canbus system. Same guy fitted the Shadow as fitted and removed the Ghost. No further issues since regarding battery discharging.

Finally gave up with the Ghost. Despite 4 visits and refits/mods it was still discharging the battery. Autowatch have apparently had problems fitting them on some Lexus and RAV 4's. Had it taken out and had a Shadow system fitted. No issues since,

I've just had a Ghost 2 immobiliser and S7 Tracker fitted to my 2019 RX450H. The Ghost is completely discharging my 12v battery overnight. The guy that fitted it has checked it and insists it is connected as recommended by Autowatch. Has anyone else had any battery draining issues with the Ghost ? I thought this was the go to immobiliser for these vehicles ? The Tracker is working fine and not affecting the battery. Any comments appreciated before I get them to remove it.

Well, it took Lexus UK and Reading Lexus less than an hour to call me to sort the fitting of the plates foc and with a courtesy car for the day. Great service by Lexus but annoying to have to resort to this to try and keep your car !

I just renewed with Saga for £560. Paid £330 with Tesco last year but they wanted £850 for renewal !

Just insured my 2019 RX with Saga ( some benefits to being an old git ! ). Last year it was £335 with Tesco, their renewal was £854, over 250% increase !!. Saga with the same cover inc legal/breakdown/pncb/vandalism was £563. I tried to better it by phoning brokers who could not get any where near that price. In fact the guy at Chris Wyatt told me that any premium SUV was a nightmare to get cover. He had quoted a guy in London £11000 for a 1990 Land Rover 😱. Next is my email to Lexus to sort out the "Canbus security Pack " to be fitted by Lexus Reading.

Thanks very much for the info. Some pics would be a great help

Hi, I'm a newbie to this, so apoligies if this is not the right format !! I have fitted a secondhand detachable Brink bar to my 2004 LE which also came with a car specific wiring harness and relays. The harness plugs into the original light sockets and the earth is picked up on a dedicated connection in the nearside boot panel. The relays require a 12v supply to operate correctly. Can anyone tell me the best place to pick up this supply, as there does not seem to be one available at the rear of the car? Thanks.....
