READ FIRST: Based on some comments here it has become obvious that the eBay seller who I bought my emblem from is not selling the correct part anymore for vehicles that have the Radar cruise control. Please make sure to buy your replacement emblem from your favorite Toyota/Lexus parts source. The OEM part number is below. Toyota/Lexus part number is 53141-60090. Usually around $350-400 from the dealerships Here is the exact one I purchased from this seller. ONLY USE THIS IF YOU DO NOT HAVE RADAR CRUISE CONTROL. SELLER IS NO LONGER SELLING THE CORRECT PART FOR LX570s equipped with RADAR CRUISE: ebay.us/All3q0
Tried replacing the old emblem with this one for my GX460 as the old one was faded out. After installation, the Radar cruise control could not detect the front side vehicles and it keeps on cruising thinking there are no vehicles in front. Also I was getting sometimes warning as “clean the radar”, finally after 2-3 days, the emblem automatically came out from the base, as the new product used low quality glue to stick. Finally the new one was taken out and installed back the old emblem. Now Im happy with the old faded out emblem 😊 as it never caused any issues.
I've seen a few people have this issue in the comments. I just updated the description to note the ebay seller is no longer selling the correct part for the LX570s with radar cruise. I tried messaging the eBay seller, but no response. If you are still in the return window, I'd suggest returning it and filing a paypal/ebay dispute. The correct Toyota/Lexus part number is in the description as well if you want to grab the right emblem for LX570s with radar cruise from your favorite OEM parts depot.
@@NKPGarage It's funny, I also bought this for my LX570 as I was installing a new grille. Of course radar cruise no longer worked. I tried to cut my losses and re-sell this emblem for $9.00 on eBay and got BUSTED by Toyota/Lexus for selling counterfeit parts. I emailed their customer support showing how there are at least 5 sellers with the exact same auction, I even used their listing "sell one like this" for my listing. I showed them the original seller is STILL selling this. I reached out to eBay about it and they said "we're sorry you feel you are being singled out by our IP protection program." Oh well... The dang thing is too nice to throw out, I'll include it with my previous OEM grille if anyone ever buys it...
Great video, thanks for posting. I just bought a 2016 LX570, and have same faded emblem. I've read all the comments and replies, and watched your video quite a few times to try and discern how to order the rignt (radar enabled) emblem on eBay. While most show the same part # you provided, some were radar enabled and some were not. Of course the radar ones were more expensive. I think a way one can see if it's radar enabled is to look on the back-side, there are hard-to-discern lines running across the emblem, barely visible but there on the more expensive emblems, and not on the cheaper ones. I dunno, maybe I'm just seeing things. I ordered the emblem today, as soon as i get it will install and see if everything continues to work as it does now. I found the emblem for $89, with the part # on the back, and what i thknk were the hard-to-see lines on the back.
Will do - once I receive the emblem and put it on (using your instructions) 😊 I'll update. Wonder how one can tell the difference between an emblem that allows radar to pass thru or not, since the part # is the same? If my theory about the lines on the back is correct, I'll provide more detail as well.
Nice work replacing the emblem. I have a new grill for my 2011 LX waiting for me to install. I will be sure to have a look at the radiator for cracks/leaks. Thanks for the heads up.
Yup, always worth checking the radiator while you have the covers off. The 2011 LX570 grill is super easy to replace. I did a video on it while I had my 2009 LX570 here: th-cam.com/video/GrWLp9EczNg/w-d-xo.html
I’ve ordered the Lexus parts and push clips from the provided links plus Amazon Basics tools sets (173 pcs). Received orders and installed 11/25/2023, everything is good! Thanks again for your help!!! I noticed most of the clips were broken, except 3.
@@Overlander2022 I find that I break at least 1 clip each time I have to remove the engine cover. So I always keep extras on hand in the toolbox. I also used them on the rear tow hitch cover to make removal and reinstallation of the hitch cover easier. The OEM clips that Toyota used on the hitch cover are really tough to get on and off without breaking them.
Awesome. Will definitely be doing this one. It actually looks like the radar module didnt need to come out. Can you access that bottom tab with the radar still attached?
That’s a great point. I think you might be right. And once those top two screws are out it’s easy to pop the emblem out. But even if you have to relive the radar it’s still easy
I have purchased the exact one, but after installing it the radar stopped working and I got a message to make sure the front is clean. When I installed the new logo I removed the old one without unscrewing the Radar or unplugging it. Any clue what went wrong!

After installation of new emblem, do any reprogramming is needed for the Radar as we are removing Radar too. My garage person told me if we are removing radar there are chances that we need to reprogram it again though I cannot digest that. Please advise.
@@NKPGarage my Lexus emblem was just as worn and faded as yours was. But after sanding it, polishing it and couple coats of clear, turned out just as good as new.
@@NKPGarage Do me a favor and try your cruise control out next time you’re on the road and see if your pre-collision sensor is working. Mine is not and there is nothing indicating it’s broken ie lights or messages.
@@NKPGarage I am going to uninstall and reinstall tomorrow and will check power supply to the sensor as well. Will report back after. Thanks for posting your video and I look forward to hearing how the cruise test works.
@@NKPGarage yes. The radar cruise. When I have mine on full sensitivity, it normally holds about a 50ft gap between me and the car in front. Now it will hit the car in front of me if I don’t apply the brakes.
It’s that hot Texas sun. It’ll fade anything if you park outside enough. My guess is that the 1st owner parked outside often before we purchased it. We are the second owner
@@robertherrmann4823 I see what you mean. My front one is still okay, but I notice the rear camera is a bit foggy sometimes even though I cleaned the lense. I might try to see if I can polish both front and rear to clear them up when I get time.

Nope. No reprogramming necessary. It should work the same.
You need to sand it back before using compound to get the result you want.
Great point. You’re probably right
@@NKPGarage my Lexus emblem was just as worn and faded as yours was. But after sanding it, polishing it and couple coats of clear, turned out just as good as new.
I purchased this and installed yesterday. Now my pre-collision system has stopped working. Have you tested yours since installing?
I haven’t seen any issues with mine. Are you sure the plug connector didn’t come loose?
@@NKPGarage Do me a favor and try your cruise control out next time you’re on the road and see if your pre-collision sensor is working. Mine is not and there is nothing indicating it’s broken ie lights or messages.

Don’t even think about replacing the front camera lens.
Is that a common failure on these 16+ LX570s?
@@NKPGarage not a failure as much as rock chips distorting the screen. The resolution wasn’t so hot to begin with but not worth a grand to fix…

Was it easy to remove the emblem? I got a Lexus RX 350. I need to replace the grill but the part does not come with the emblem.
Yup. Super easy. Very simple to remove the emblem
All that talking for 2 minutes of work. Holy shit

They want $1500 for this!
