That's excellent! But I forgot to mention I'm in Milano, Italy. In the meantime I found one on eBay with the same serial number. 

Hey all,
During a recent tire change, one of my 2006 GS 450h tire sensors broke and need to replace it. The official Lexus dealer asked for €300 plus labour, which is a lot. 

I was wondering whether any of you had any experience with non-genuine replacements and whether the ECU was able to recognize and use them properly. 

As an alternative, I thought about used spare parts on the internet, in which case I'm not sure which of the various codes I should use in order to find the right parts. 

Thanks.

I was referring to AC auto Locksmiths Ian. Perhaps worth contacting them ?

I'm in Italy, I'm afraid that wouldn't work for me. I did find a few options: Lexus asks for €630, a local locksmith asks for €350 and a friend thinks he can do the job for free (he has done plenty Toyota fobs, but never Lexus) since he has the sw, as long as I get ahold of the (possibly right) fob. 😄

I still have two spare fobs for a GS Mark 3 if anyone wants to do the diy route to reprogram them for a spare.

Interesting. PM'd u. 😊

If you read all of this Thread, you might find a solution Ian.

Hi Roy, thanks for chipping in. I did read all of the thread and once more after you invited me to do so. I haven't seen anywhere anyone talking about the transmitter frequencies used in EU, US or Japan. Have I missed something?

Hope I'm not OT if I piggyback on this topic, but I'm trying to get the same thing done. I noticed that there are 3 different frequencies for these keys: 314.3 MHz, 312 MHz and 433 MHz. I'm unsure which one is the right one and I should go to a professional locksmith to have my only key read, although I might fear they'll tell me they can't do it unless I get the whole spare key done with them. An engineer I know told me that 433 is the right frequency for EU, while the other two are for the US and Japan. Anybody know which is which?

I did note that the missing knob looks identical to the knob on my Toyota iQ.

Yeah, I reckon that aesthetically they do look like the ones on other models (and makes), but I guess it's about how they connect to each other and the vent itself that might be unique to certain models.

Hey all,

I recently purchased a GS 450h and I only now noticed that the front half (the one sticking out) of the front-center vent slider knobs are missing. The back part was still stuck inside the grid, so I was able to recover it, but the front part was apparently lost or broken off.

I tried looking online for a replacement and could only find the site https://www.venttabs.com/, which only has tabs for the GX 470, which I'm not sure are compatible. I'm in no circumstance willing to change out the entire vent block (which I hear is the solution that Lexus would suggest).

Anyone else had to deal with a situation like this one and if so how did they fix it? 

Thanks!

Ian

Yeah it looks like I can do that with my iPhone. Will update when I get my car back and get it fitted. 

Hey Paul, how have you managed to split the two BT profiles? (streaming and phone)

Also, how's the GTA BT system working for you?

Sorry for the double post, no idea how that happened: today I was just checking in if anyone had replied and now I see my post was duplicated...

Hey all, new here too. Anyone have an opinion/experience regarding GTA vs the GROM version of the BT adapter for a 2006 GS 450h?
