I just picked one up. Dealer maintained, one owner, 78k mikes and $7500. So happy. Nothing is wrong with it except tires, and a small chip in the rear bumper. I am blessed!
ayeeee, I have one too, 1996 though, not very clean but hope to manual swap, angle kit, etc. and have some fun lol... maybe a centrifugal supercharger too some day lol
If I'm not mistaken, both the M5's should also open the windows and sunroof when you press and hold the open key button. I know the E34 540i from 1995 did do that.
You're correct. Opens them all when you hold down the unlock and closes them when you hold lock button. Though it usually doesn't work too well on the older cars with worn key batteries.
Also, should open and close the windows if you put the key in the door lock, twist & hold. Twist left and hold to roll down windows and twist right and hold to roll up& close sunroof. My volkswagens do it
On my VW had to get a scan tool that had credit codes to be able to do that for the windows down and up holding lock/unlock - looked up real quick doesn’t work for that model BMW OBDeleven scan tool
Maybe the window thing is for hot days so as you're walking to your car you can open your windows to start airing out the car while you load the trunk with your groceries... ?
That's a sharp looking install/upgrade on the head unit! I'm absolutely loving this Lexus, and those wheels still just look so proper! Great job fellas.
bro i jus wanna say thank you for doing these vids on this car it is much needed. i just bought a car very similar so it does help me out in the long run thank you again
You should be able to put the windows up with the key in the keyhole next to the handle. The windows down with the unlock button is a feature that is on a lot of Japanese vehicles. My Mazdaspeed6 and Infiniti G37 did the same thing
I am sure they just purchased the adapter plate and maybe a couple other essentials only. The supercharger and other parts were likely sourced separately for much cheaper.
I enjoy all your videos thanx and I own a 2006 Lexus LS430 best car I’ve ever owned fast powerful engine smooth as butter and whisper quiet never getting rid of mines it’s a keeper 😎
Love my Pioneer in my daily driver. Works both with I phone and Android. It works brilliantly with bluetooth and has a direct wire that gives a good piece of mind when traveling. Battery doesn't run out.
There's not an elegant way to roll the windows shut. BUT, putting the key in the driver door and holding it counter clockwise will close everything. Also, the door unlock system is my favorite from that era (used to valet). It has a strip on the inside of the door handle that unlocks as soon as it feels your skin and the key is close enough. Many more hidden features like the slide out compartment under the front seats. Just look up "hidden features ls430" on clublexus.
Between LKQ and a few others I’m amazed of how many other parts distributors we have in common between the US & Canada. I used to order from World PAC & LKQ on a daily basis at my previous job 👍🏽
The closing shot, supporting trunk lid whilst replacing gas struts was a good move. I managed to get a slap on the head recently when carrying out the same procedure on my BMW Z4......very painful 😫
I think we all had that one day, when we tried to fix alot of things and somehow everything is just works. no issue, no trouble along the way.. just nice day overall
More and more you guys are making me want a big body Lexus! Also, my Toyota's(06 Taco) drivers door has the same problem with the same little motor! I'm trying to decide if I should replace the whole mechanism or just the motor.
My Honda Accord has the “comfort entry” too... most upper level Honda’s since 2004 have that option... (Comfort Entry is the windows rolling down and the sunroof opening)
You can close them (the windows and sunroof) again! Simply put the key in the door and turn right and hold. All will close. You can also open all by holding key in position after turning left.
FYI: BMW's do that Key-Remote Windows Up and Down thing since about 1992, the E39 does it as long as all the Window Regulators are programmed and the Key Functions are still working.
yup came here to write this. on my accord if i turn the key twice to lock the doors and hold it in the lock position it will close the windows. idk if this lexus will do the same but worth a shot
8:30 this is a feature on every BMW (with powerwindows and remote). Hold UNLOCK to roll down, LOCK to roll up. I think you can do the same by putting the key in the door.
Love the look of the lexus! Btw the M5 and most bmws can wind down/up windows with the lock and unlock buttons on the key fob... If not it can be very easily coded in along with many other options, using NCS expert, carly, etc
The opening of the windows and sunroof thing works on many cars. Many people have no idea this is a thing. Read the Manual! It's pretty nice in the summer on my '09 Mazda 6 to start the cooling process.
I love these LS 430. I currently have 2 of them; both in Cypress Green: ‘04 is Sport Suspension & Keyless entry; ‘05 is just basic. I would love to buy 1 in black/black and another in silver/silver.
Actually, the M5 DOES have the windows-down function on the key fob, AND it will also go back up! The "trunk nightmare" on the BMW wagon you speak of is the mods required to the spare tire well (cutting and welding) in order to make room for the dual exhaust.
Beyond. So nostalgic. The 80's Hong Kong most popular Band. Also the motor out of the door actuator look very suspiciously like a Tamiya mini 4wd motor.
Dave pair the Android head unit to the OBD2 port with a bluetooth adaptor and run torque-pro with digital gauges on engine vitals. It is so elegant I ended up removing my physical boost gauge and WB gauge, daily display showing Coolant/AIT/VAC-Boost best of all you should still be able to push audio through the head unit via bluetooth/android auto from your phone at the same time. I went the hard way and got a non android based Pioneer AVH-2300NEX head unit BUT utilized the backup camera and component input ports along with an HDMI box with a dedicated old android phone stashed in the glove box so the head unit boots up then after 30 seconds of no activity switches the display to what it thinks is the backup camera but is video out from the phone sending the torque-pro display. The 3 cons of this setup are the dedicated phone, Non HD video signal through the component cable and the backup camera warning display that can't be disabled. I did this around the time you did the Android unit in the Tundra and that scared me away from using one of them instead although my setup would have been much much easier to accomplish... I can't even recommend the Pioneer units as a better option as Android Auto is useless and drops all the time.
Ghah! This machine is just DEAD SEXY! Really good build, as always. My only pushback so far, I'd have bit the proverbial bullet and gone with a Pioneer or equivalent head unit. If only for peace of mind. Fantastic guys, keep it going!
Should’ve built one of those v6 accords. Very strong and reliable motor, lots of interchangeable parts with the sporty Acura’s and bigger brakes from the odyssey etc
It will close all the windows back up. You have to either hold the lock button for the same amount of time or try to put the key in the door and turn it to the lock position and hold it until the windows roll up and the sunroof closes.
the 350Z(and most nissans) does the same thing with the windows on the unlock button. You can also insert the key in the door lock and hold it in the lock position and it will close everything.
I love the video. You have the same amount of OCD as I have. I just got a 2007 ls460 with blown air suspension for 3500. Suspension is already fixed and I LOVE the car.
@Organic Iverson Yes! I’ve been in love with the LS460 for years but couldn’t justify paying so much money for it. I got a high mileage with bad air suspension and check engine light on. I replaced the air suspension with traditional shocks and springs ($350 used OEM, I instala them) and working on getting the check engine light fixed I’m hoping ($50) in parts plus my labor. So far the car drives super smooth and still in love with it!
My 2003 m5 will do the same window trick with the remote. And if you put the key in the cylinder, hold it in the lock position it’ll roll it all back up
The M5 should open and close all windows and sunroof, most german cars do since the early 90’s, it’s called comfort access, hood the remote button and everything opens, hold again and everything closes. Convertibles do this as well and the roof opens and closes as well as the windows. Means you can let the heat out before getting in and close all windows/sunroof etc if you have got out and forgot.
I have an 06 LS430 (basically the same as that one but with the upgraded touchscreen ML system and the steering wheel on the other side) I'm tempted to get an Android head unit but my current system works fine and sounds great so I think I have a case of "it aint broke dont fix it" As an aside my windows will close with the key (I don't have a sunroof) all my soft close doors and boot still work fine but my steering wheel does not move and you mentioned fixing yours? I await that bit with interest :)
Im not sure it that year LS will do it, but if you put the key in the driver's door and turn it to the lock position and hold it there for a few seconds, it'll bring the windows up and lock the vehicle.
The e39 also opens and closes the window with the key fob. Press the unlock 2 the hold it a 3rd time. All windows and sunroof will open. Then to close hold the key in the door in the lock position to bring them all up.
What are the odds that after installing a head unit one of the most iconic Chinese songs in history blasts the part of the song that makes it so recognizable? Very cool!
I think in order to roll the windows up you have to stick the key in the slot turn it clockwise and hold it for a couple of seconds. The window should roll up I believe.
I just picked one up. Dealer maintained, one owner, 78k mikes and $7500. So happy. Nothing is wrong with it except tires, and a small chip in the rear bumper. I am blessed!
A guy that works at my local Pizza Hut has an LS 400. It is still mint even though it is driven year around in New Brunswick.
ayeeee, I have one too, 1996 though, not very clean but hope to manual swap, angle kit, etc. and have some fun lol... maybe a centrifugal supercharger too some day lol
Pretty reliable delivery car
They'll go back up with the key in the door lock
I’m from Ireland and a man drives an ls430 as a taxi in my town, must be running on LPG otherwise he wouldn’t make a penny!
As an owner of 05 LS430 my emotions are heavily invested into your episodes, cant' wait till all done!
@Speed Academy- In order to put all the windows up, you have to use the key and lock it twice and hold for 2 seconds and all the windows will go up.
Yeah, my 99 GS400 does the same
Bmw does the same thing
My old w211 e-class would roll the windows down and turn on the cooled seat.
04 Nissan Maxima joins the battle!
13 mdx does it 💀
"Use the least valuable part of my body" ... self-deprecating humour makes watching this so fun!
"There we go, I got it in the hole. Haven't done that in a while."
I love how when they encounter a problem they dont avoid it, they keep on going. Can't wait for the ls to make new noises😁😁😁
That introduction killed me.
If I'm not mistaken, both the M5's should also open the windows and sunroof when you press and hold the open key button. I know the E34 540i from 1995 did do that.
You're correct. Opens them all when you hold down the unlock and closes them when you hold lock button. Though it usually doesn't work too well on the older cars with worn key batteries.
Also, should open and close the windows if you put the key in the door lock, twist & hold. Twist left and hold to roll down windows and twist right and hold to roll up& close sunroof. My volkswagens do it
That's what I was thinking too, my 2001 E39 540i did so I'd be very surprised if the M5 didn't!
On my VW had to get a scan tool that had credit codes to be able to do that for the windows down and up holding lock/unlock - looked up real quick doesn’t work for that model BMW OBDeleven scan tool
It might be disabled in the GM3 module for some reason. It can be enabled with a cheap K+D-CAN cable and NCS Expert/Dummy.
As a new ls430 owner this is a incredible service your doing for us by showing all the little problems and fixes. pure gold
'"I'm in the hole, first time that's happened in a while" lmaooo
12:30 got me too LOL
Hints for DP's wifey.
Had a good chuckle at this too lmao
liked but then it wasnt at 69 anymore XD
Covid szn 🤣🤣
That proud dad look on Dave's face with his car features is priceless!
Windows will go back up. Press lock once and release and then on second click hold down
The moment the new radio gets plugged in and “BEYOND” started playing... that’s BEYOND greatness.
Is that a supercharger? Cant wait for the ls to smoke the m5, that would be an amazing feat
3uz-fe with TRD supercharger goes alright, not slow but no street machine either.
Be interesting to see this kit and how it performs as a comparison
@@darianistead2239 a few months ago, i think in an unboxing video, they teased the supercharger as an eaton from a mustang
Maybe the window thing is for hot days so as you're walking to your car you can open your windows to start airing out the car while you load the trunk with your groceries... ?
Every time I see this car I’m reminded by the heritage of Toyota in the wheels and I love it.
I never knew Dave was into Cantonese music
Dave is the man, he knows one of the legendary Hong Kong band “Beyond“🤪
great song
really cool
AGA fanboi for life, y0!
He still has a crush on Cassandra from Wayne's World lol
Using a key to unlock a car is something I quite enjoy, especially when turning the engine over. Nothing like the feel of manual mechanism.😊
that cantonese song playing after starting up the head unit is greattttttt!!!
@15:14 woowwwww which one of you listens to beyond?? your awesome :P
Last thing I expect is Beyond's song on Speed Academy
I had a great laugh! Good guys for including that.
Im loving this series! Hope you guys had a great new years and Christmas!
i would of used blue loctite on those screws seems to be common for them to come loose in the arm rest.
Judging by the thread i think they go into the plastic on the arm rest. So shouldn't use locktite.
@@jamiebeckf no idea if goes into plastic, but blue loctite 425 is for plastic.
That's a sharp looking install/upgrade on the head unit! I'm absolutely loving this Lexus, and those wheels still just look so proper! Great job fellas.
i look forward to watching your guys videos every day. thank you for the content
Such an enjoyable moment when watching your videos of this car. Hope to own one someday. Can’t wait till you finish all upgrades!
I’ve been waiting for this!🔥🔥💯
I find this video extremely satisfying. There is nothing worse than having the "little issues" that make a great car, just a good car!
bro i jus wanna say thank you for doing these vids on this car it is much needed. i just bought a car very similar so it does help me out in the long run thank you again
Good job fixing that trunk and door lock. That window and sunroof remote opening is sweet as hell!! 😍
Team Lexus! Can’t wait to see the supercharger install and tune.
With all the windows down, try locking the drivers door with the key...some cars it closes all the windows and sunroof.
You should be able to put the windows up with the key in the keyhole next to the handle. The windows down with the unlock button is a feature that is on a lot of Japanese vehicles. My Mazdaspeed6 and Infiniti G37 did the same thing
I love this LS. I really want one now.. Very inspirational build so far..
That elate supercharger kit cost more than the whole car 😂😂😂
I am sure they just purchased the adapter plate and maybe a couple other essentials only. The supercharger and other parts were likely sourced separately for much cheaper.
If he’s wearing their beanie he’s probably got some sort of sponsorship deal with them
I need to look up that center console fix. I bought a new latch for my car and was like “interesting, its still broken...”
I enjoy all your videos thanx and I own a 2006 Lexus LS430 best car I’ve ever owned fast powerful engine smooth as butter and whisper quiet never getting rid of mines it’s a keeper 😎
Love my Pioneer in my daily driver. Works both with I phone and Android. It works brilliantly with bluetooth and has a direct wire that gives a good piece of mind when traveling. Battery doesn't run out.
Awesome...love this channel! 2 of my favorite cars e39M5 and the LS... can’t wait to see that supercharger installed... 👍👍

Loving this series with the 430!!!
Love these vids on the Lexus!
I've owned two LS430s, so I qualify as "in love" with them.
I love this build I'm 35 and this was my dream car I like the 400 but im absolutely in love with the 430
Every episode makes me more and more jealous. I'm really enjoying this series!
That looks so nice!
Great work

You guys teased that SC weeks ago in that “unbox” video, it’s time to make some JAM 😈
My Honda Accord has the “comfort entry” too... most upper level Honda’s since 2004 have that option... (Comfort Entry is the windows rolling down and the sunroof opening)

You can close them (the windows and sunroof) again! Simply put the key in the door and turn right and hold. All will close. You can also open all by holding key in position after turning left.
Would be very impressed if you were able to source a full Tom's SC kit for the 3UZ. Love the videos, great work!

my homie just got an ls430 and i had no clue they had potential like this these are cleannnn
Still haven’t gotten over those wheels, they are amaze-balls
Iv been watching rustbelt auto for a long time, he helped me diagnose my wifes avcs sensor on her outback. Also his turbo civic ripssss
On some JDM cars you can put the windows back up with the key put it in the door and holding a lock turn. Maybe?!?!?
yup came here to write this. on my accord if i turn the key twice to lock the doors and hold it in the lock position it will close the windows. idk if this lexus will do the same but worth a shot
I think you can close the window by holding the lock button 3+ secs.
Cuz it WORKS on my 03 GS 300
8:30 this is a feature on every BMW (with powerwindows and remote). Hold UNLOCK to roll down, LOCK to roll up. I think you can do the same by putting the key in the door.
The window parlor trick is pretty cool. My NC Grand Touring Miata has it as well.
Love the look of the lexus! Btw the M5 and most bmws can wind down/up windows with the lock and unlock buttons on the key fob... If not it can be very easily coded in along with many other options, using NCS expert, carly, etc
I am excited to see this be supercharged! And see what gains it picks up!
The opening of the windows and sunroof thing works on many cars. Many people have no idea this is a thing. Read the Manual! It's pretty nice in the summer on my '09 Mazda 6 to start the cooling process.
OMG... the song played by the new head unit is from Beyond, HK famous rock band. Love it!
This channel makes me want to go over my own cars and fix every little thing to make them mint again
I love these LS 430. I currently have 2 of them; both in Cypress Green: ‘04 is Sport Suspension & Keyless entry; ‘05 is just basic. I would love to buy 1 in black/black and another in silver/silver.
Hi! Great series! Quick question: Did you maintain steering wheel controls when you installed the headunit?
Actually, the M5 DOES have the windows-down function on the key fob, AND it will also go back up!
The "trunk nightmare" on the BMW wagon you speak of is the mods required to the spare tire well (cutting and welding) in order to make room for the dual exhaust.
Beyond. So nostalgic. The 80's Hong Kong most popular Band. Also the motor out of the door actuator look very suspiciously like a Tamiya mini 4wd motor.

One of the most memorable bands from Hong Kong at 15:15
Of all the demo tracks the manufacturer could've loaded too.
you can also open/close the windows and sunroof by putting the key in the door and holding it to the lock or unlock position
Really loving the ls430!!!
Ghah! This machine is just DEAD SEXY! Really good build, as always. My only pushback so far, I'd have bit the proverbial bullet and gone with a Pioneer or equivalent head unit. If only for peace of mind. Fantastic guys, keep it going!

I love this car still, still my favorite LS I was going to get one just like this but ended up with a LS460L had to get that lwb and extra 90HP
Cant wait to get another one of these I’m dreaming for the day
the 350Z(and most nissans) does the same thing with the windows on the unlock button. You can also insert the key in the door lock and hold it in the lock position and it will close everything.
The E39’s do the same thing with the windows. Hold the unlock to make them go down. Then to go up, key in drivers door and hold on the lock position

My 2003 m5 will do the same window trick with the remote. And if you put the key in the cylinder, hold it in the lock position it’ll roll it all back up
To close the windows shut after opening them, you have to put the key fob into the key hole and they all go up. 😊🤟🏾 my friend showed me
The M5 should open and close all windows and sunroof, most german cars do since the early 90’s, it’s called comfort access, hood the remote button and everything opens, hold again and everything closes. Convertibles do this as well and the roof opens and closes as well as the windows. Means you can let the heat out before getting in and close all windows/sunroof etc if you have got out and forgot.

I await that bit with interest :)
Daaaaammmmmmnnnnn! She is a beauty I would totally go with the VIP theme and flow on this one, the linesw on this model are pure perfection.
Im not sure it that year LS will do it, but if you put the key in the driver's door and turn it to the lock position and hold it there for a few seconds, it'll bring the windows up and lock the vehicle.
8:51 .. insert the key on the door, turn it into close position twice and hold the second turn, that should close all the windows
😂 my sequoia and tundra does that 8:30 but just the front windows.
If you hold the key in door (un)lock position, it should do the same thing.
really i have same all these problems thank youuuuu so match ...I am following you from ksa
The e39 also opens and closes the window with the key fob. Press the unlock 2 the hold it a 3rd time. All windows and sunroof will open. Then to close hold the key in the door in the lock position to bring them all up.
You can buy a dongle to enable Apple Carplay/Android Auto for your Tundra to make up for the lost Bluetooth. Should be less than $30USD.
What are the odds that after installing a head unit one of the most iconic Chinese songs in history blasts the part of the song that makes it so recognizable? Very cool!
To close all the windows at the same time, you can use the key in the door, hold in lock position.
I think in order to roll the windows up you have to stick the key in the slot turn it clockwise and hold it for a couple of seconds. The window should roll up I believe.
lol that canto pop that with the headunit, priceless
