I have used one of these which is an easy way to do it. Not 100% reliable though as sometimes the phone rings it twice stopping the gate in mid flow. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/GSM-WIRELESS-DOOR-ACCESS-FREE-PHONE-REMOTE-CONTROL-GATE-RELAY-SWITCH-FABULOUS/232397868940?hash=item361bfe0f8c:m:mq20zhUoX3GG_vTl7jp8Q6w

I have done a voice one with a sim in a box but it is not the most reliable thing. i have also used a wi-if switcher one, but my wi-fi is very hit and miss, so done this as a ‘reliable’ backup.

With a keyless car, it is a pain to keep searching for the keys to use the fob to open gates and garage door, so have have built a Lexus one. I used an old spare remote, took it apart and the soldered 2 wires to the micro switch and attached the wires to a momentary push switch mounted in a blank switch panel. Now just press the button and no need to try to find my keys. Photo of finished job to follow.

I can confirm what a vast difference the winter tyres make. I'll be sticking with the 17's and summer tyres though, this year, as I now have the RR, so the spare set of 16's with sensors will have to go..

I don't know the seller as I was given them by a friend who also did not get around to fitting them! Are there no reflectors in the main rear light unit?

There are various ones for sale, some are reflective and some are not. I have bought a set of the reflective ones, but not got round to fitting them yet. They do 'look' reflective in the box !!

I've solved the issue of having to swap over to winter tyres in the snow..... I take the Range Rover Sport out and leave the Lexus asleep in the snow . So the set of 16s can stay in the garage, or go on eBay !

I upgraded to 17's on my IS330H and kept the set of original 16's as a winter contingency. I have considered putting the 16s back on now it is snowing, but don't think I'd notice the difference, as I would with 18s to 16s. Or I may just be lazy !!

Any links to the seller of the kit and price etc?

Drop me a message as I may be able to help you out..

How do you know if you have a pre or post 2015 changes ? Any obvious spec change, figures etc?

That seems to make sense. So the L is attached to the Navi and not the SE. L-Navi is a strange abbreviation for Navigation as it is not going to be made by anyone other than Lexus (L) !!

Oh it does. Its on all my documents, my V5, Service books etc. See below details of my car from the Lexus website.. It has half leather so the L can't mean that. It does have a few extras onto of SE. Nav, keyless entry etc.

I have a 2016 IS300h SE-L Navi model. I can figure out what the Navi means, but can’t find any details of what extra you get over the standard SE spec for the SE-L. It isn’t listed as a model option on the Lexus website .

Avoid Warranty Direct. Bunch of sharks. They are very good at avoiding payouts for anything by quoting small print and classing everything as a ‘wear and tear’ item and not covering it, although the item is listed as being covered in their paperwork. l ,
