I have an IS300h and I think it's the hesitation in the car that makes it loses the acceleration against the leaf, to compensate that I have fitted a Tom's LTS throttle controller that will eliminate the issue and get instant throttle reactions. Easy for and very effective too.

I have looked into that approx 6 months in depth, the boxes that wires into the system is a wireless interface and not many people knows how to fit it in uk, in addition the amount of risk that involves as modern vehicles have advanced wirings that links to multiple ecus, it you tap into the wrong wire and it blows something, you are screwed. Lexus will tell you you warranty is voided and go on your bike, I have also asked abroad they mentioned that European and other Lexus vehicles systems or wiring maybe different so there are high risks in doing this. I have also made enquires with Lexus UK. Believe me, I have looked into this in depth but let me know if you have tried and succeed though.

Yes agree, very price you for a rear diffuser

What price region are we talking ft the aim gain?

Hi everyone, fitted my Tom's LTS 2 throttle controller yesterday, it make the car noticibly responsive, it gets rid of the hesitation that automatics have, easy fitment once overridden the Japanese instructions, worth a try;) also I made it into a plug and play so not wiring loom damage for warranty purpose.

I was fitting a set ofdaytinedrivingnlight on my smart car last year and I don't know if it was me or it was Smart's design, however fitting a piggy back I tripped a fuse. So I just wasn't sure, but in theory you are correct though

I have asked the question in Lexus Bolton and they couldn't really answer my question for certain. I ask why installing a plug and play Tom's throttle controller will invalidate the warranty but installing an non-approved reverse camera that requires hard wiring does not. I did say Tom's is like an official tuning development for Toyota Lexus, which has sent them head scratching. It's a bit controversial

So because they have arranged it and I assume they will have to honour the warranty, am I right?

Good point, maybe I will try and ask Le us and see if they will answer this question

i plan to use a piggy back fuse to install this controller so it's easy to take out when returning to Lexus to carry out works. Would you guys think the battery needs to be disconnect when plug into fuse box? If I disconnected the negative terminal would it cause problems as it reset my smart keys or vehicle settings in general? What's the advice? Thanks in advance

Thanks for that! Would that not void the warranty as this is not genuine approved product? Don't get me wrong it's very unlikely to go wrong but I was thinking more like if anything else went wrong will they say you have interfere with the car using non genuine parts

I was thinking there must be a kit out there near to factory spec ish. I think it's a bit bad that Lexus cannot upgrade as option after the car is built

Thanks, anyone have done it before?

Hi all, i wonder if I disconnected the car's battery in the IS300h to make electrical installation would it reset anything? I mean would it reset my keyless system or anything bad like that or would it just be the vehicle's clock? Just need to be careful incase I make more of a job, can anyone tell me if they have done it before?

Agree would quite like OEM Lexus equipment but just wiring are not already in place, if it was it would be absolutely brilliant, that was what I was kind of expecting but sadly not

It's not been advertised with a camera on, but was kind of mislead by sales that it can be an option, and to argue to swap vehicle is going to be an long battle up to Lexus UK. how much did the camera cost at the third party?

So you reckon they won't make note of its presence while it's in for service? I was just thinking they might make note of it and actually void the warranty if they see it that's why I was thinking of fitting it with the mind of easy disconnect

Maybe I will use a piggy back fuse to get the 12v ignition power source and when it comes to service time at Lexus, I can just unplug instead of using scotch lock so that no trace is available whatsoever

Yes auto dimming mirror is equipped, but I was looking more of an OEM finish, there is a place in Cheltenham that can do it but that's seems too far from me and its costing close to £500, I guess there must be cheaper sources, anyone else?

Has anyone fitted a reverse camera into a IS300h at all? I know quite a lot of them comes as standard but mine came without and I was mislead by the dealer that it can be an optional extra however when I enquired they said it's got to be factory built and told me to go aftermarket. Anyone knows if there is any that is almost like OEM quality and actually shows on the factory screen when reverse is selected? Anyone can point me to a good trader?

That was exactly what I was thinking, has anyone fitted one or have experience of one?

Thanks for that, I have got it already, can anyone else help?

Has anyone ever fitted a TOMS LTS 2 throttle controller to a IS300h? If yes can anyone tell me how to fit it as the instructions are in Japanese. Also does anyone know if something like that invalidate the manufacturers warranty as Lexus cannot answer this. Apparently most of the installation it's just plug and play and just need to crimp one wire to obtain the 12v works with ignition.
