Can Adaptive Cruse Control (Radar) Be Added To A 2012 Ls800Hl?

HankJ · January 28, 2013

I'm looking to replace my 2008 LS600hL after 135,000 miles and have found a 2012 just coming off of lease. It seems that this car doesn't have the 'pre-collision package' which includes the radar cruise control! I didn't think that this was possible that Lexus would build one without this.

However I really want this feature, can it be added on now?

thanks for your inputs,

ciaoi,

Look for another car and don't even think about trying to retrofit radar cruise and PCS. Toyota almost never installs the infrastructure for options not already on a vehicle.

It's does seem strange that radar/PCS is not standard on the LS600 and many other of the more expensive Lexus models when it is a somewhat inexpensive ($1,750) option on the Toyota Avalon and when there is discussion at the NHTSA about requiring a PCS-like system on all cars.

Radar cruise/PCS is my favorite feature on my wife's Toyota Prius wagon. I will never buy another car without PCS or a similar system.

thanks for your advise, I agree with your comments about it being an option. Also I dont understand why someone wouldnt have ordered it for a car like this.
