I think you must be right. The panel removes so easily. I dont know why its connected via straps?? I had a look in the boot and the amp is a pioneer unit.

Hi Folks Has anyone looked into audio upgrades for the LC? My LC has the stock system no ML and I am really interested in making some improvements - replacing base speakers in the first instance and then installing a DSP for better base tuning? I cannot find anything online that people have done which is surprising and there are no obvious aftermarket speaker replacements so Ill have to measure each speaker etc. The system can be a little bright and the front dash tweeters need a little dampening. I'd expect more from the sub in the centre rear seat - in fact I had to take the panel out just to confirm there was something there! On a separate note - does anyone know what the part is that the 2 straps of that rear centre speaker cover are connected to when you remove it? There looks to be a release running into it but it looks like a key lock...

Which dealer are you from? I meant to come back here and update my post in case anyone ends up in a similar position. BTW Yes I had the Master key. Here are some of the prices I recieved - one I havent listed below which was Lexus Durham? quoted me in excess of £320 Lexus Sheffield 165 inc VAT Lexus Hull 211 inc VAT Lexus Bradford 275 inc VAT Needless to say I went to Sheffield and they were very good - gave me a very competitively priced service plan quote so I think we will be taking the car their going forward. Highly Recommended.

Yeah I unfortunately dont have the electronics/innards available - do you have username/link for the ebay chap? Ben

Hello All - I am new to this forum but hoping someone can help. We have a 2009 SC which came with 2 master keys of which I unfortunately have lost one - Lexus are quoting me 233 for a replacement key and an additional 50 for cutting and reprogramming it - has anyone had any luck with finding a cheaper alternative for this model year or there abouts? I looked online and there are some suggestions and instructions on how to reprogram a key yourself (once you have found one) but these appear to be for earlier cars only.... Ben
