Phoenix Mike Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 Have a 2003 gx470, owned for 3 months, get the message "there is a problem with the Lexus Link system, please return to your Lexus dealer for repairs". I did a test and there are no fault codes in the system. The system is not activated, could this be the reason for the message? Also, if this system is cell phone based it is analog, I dont think the Phoenix area supports analog anymore as I had to update my home security system for that reason. Perhaps someone knows how to disable the message? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gordonw Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 You are correct, the analog based system is no longer supported. Lexus has been removing the the Lexus Link module. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mann777 Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 The ECU requires change, This is done free by the dealer himself. There is Vendor exchange program for replacement of ECU . Check out with the dealer and Order the Lexus link ECU thru the exchange program via the vendor exchange program application at the dealer. I do not know if the offer still exist with which dealer across US. If I am not wrong there was a TSB issued for the exchange program of analog model, maybe if somebody has the copy they can publish on this forum.

andaco2002 Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 My 2003 says "The Lexus Link System is not active. To activate your Lexus Link system, press the services button now" every time I start the truck. If I press the "services" button, the Lexus Link system people come on and say that I can activate it since it is connecting. How come they say this since this analog system is supposed to be extinct? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

courtneyfrack Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 Thanks for the document to download on the analog and exchange program. If I don't want to utilize this service is there an option to turn off the message "The Lexus Link System is not active. To activate your Lexus Link system, press the services button now".
