That's a bit of a pain then having to go back. Hope you get it sorted.

Worth trying the tpms reset button then!!?

Hi didn't change the whole tpms sensor did he and not just the battery? I ask because some tpms units are sealed as they don't want people changing batteries. If the unit is not sealed and the battery can be changed did he definitely change the battery in 'your' sensor and not just fit another they had laid around. I went to a tyre fitter place with three sensors working and one not. They fitted a brand new sensor and the bloke was adamant "just drive the car around mate and it will pick it up" - er not unless the ECU is clairvoyant. I went back and his colleague corrected him, they have to be coded to the car. Probably like they do on most lexus cars. They couldn't do my car. Anyway I have techstream and just did they job they should have done. Coded it to the car and the light extinguished. If your original tpms was indeed refitted with new battery, you could trying holding the tpms reset button further down on the steering column for 10 seconds to reset the system.

It's exactly what you stated. 30 to 45 mins per side all things equal. You might need too to wind the caliper piston back in but other than that straight forward.

I actually found a site selling most if not all the components and I put the order in. Days later they marked the radar not available, harness not available. They were about to send the rest of the part like screws and bracket etc which I promptly cancelled explaining there's little point when the main bit were all missing. So back to square one. No parts. Apart from steering wheel with the correct buttons on. Thanks for the help though that is much appreciated. I dm'd you my VIN Regards Ian

Hi. I did have an email swap with some UK chap selling comma 3 and he even offered to 'try it's on my car if I drove to him. "I had my Octavia retrofitted with Lane assist only to find out I didn’t need to as I could’ve reprogrammed my car! Good luck with your car. For me, the Comma 3 has been the best thing for long journeys making the drives less tiring." Interesting because that's suggests it didn't use LKA. But since the Comma (from the videos I've seen) plugs into the forward facing camera for power etc it difficult to say for sure it isn't using some aspect offered by the car, besides the steering you have pointed out already. Yes I'll DM you my Vin. I'd be interested what you have. I had a front radar never fitted but nothing else.

just noticed your location say Cambridgeshire so might the cars are different

Hi Waquidvp Read your earlier post with great interest and followed your progress. Having almost the same car I am equally instrested in adding this. I believe (but might be wrong) that the UK version of your car is the is300h which is what I have. Being and IT techy and always tinkering with something I am keen to understand if I could do this to my car - but I have to say my starting point came about because I was looking in Comma 3 self driving which needs radar etc. Ian

The stock stereo is decent. Not as good as Mark Levinson, unless yours has that. I've had my is300h for 6 years now. I contemplated upgrading to a more beefy 450 bhp version but then decided against it since I wouldnt get the best out of it on my short commutes. Instead I decided to do a number or things and one of them was upgrade the stereo/ nav setup. I bought a 10.2 inch screen with built in Android 13. The screen comes with a wire harness to piggy back the stock stereo. You may be fully aware of android options Available. The benefit is having the old stock radio and nav but complimented with the newer bigger screen, android auto, waze sat nav or Google maps and voice commands etc. it's great to say 'hey Google, play 80's music' or radio station and it's streamed from Spotify. The next plan is fitting a ghost immobiliser Ian

You need to look up reseeding. Which is how you reprogram an already programmed key. Not too hard to find how I suspect. I did mine (yeah...from an already programmed key off ebay and my own original key, reprogrammed both at the same time the reseed was done.) it was the only way.

Please bare in mind the 'ebay sold techstream and supplied cable' cannot.code you a new key. You need a proper Vcx cable for that. I know from experience. Bought a used key off ebay tried and tried and failed and failed. Got proper cable and coded first time. Others may have had similar or success with the cut down cheaper cable and it would be interesting to know. Regards

Agreed!

I had this. Turns out the non genius lexus tpms unit in one of the wheels was to blame. Changed it for original lexus one and light never come back on. Get the tpms checked to see if they are all genuine. If not change the one or ones that are not genuine

So glad your car is same as mine and in white also. Those red calipers look good. Made me make my mind up about doing mine. Good job!

Don't know if this helps.. But.... I have a fsport with the same moving clock. I had an issue with stuck milage on the odometer and had to correct the issue. Through my attempts of flashing hex code onto the IC on the odometer did invoke the condition your seeing “lda and vcs". Realisinf this flashing the correct file onto the IC got rid of those issues. The difference here though is your putting a clock not designed for that car in it and perhaps expecting it to be ok. I would seem some tweaking of the hex code needs to be done on the clock... But... Bare in mind when I cured mine the clock I cured it on was meant for the car it is in. Basically the F clock seems to be getting a signal from the car it can't deal with and throwing those errors on the dash. I'm not sure they are fully exchangeable but seems perhaps not.
