On the Club Lexus site, in the 6th-gen ES 350 forum https://www.clublexus.com/forums/es-...-es-350-a.html, another member asked if anyone used a Foxwell, and I stated that I was going to do so, later, but other members all showed preferences fo the Carly and Carista apps.

In other threads, in most of the "specific models" sub-forums, there's a strong preference for using the Toyota-Lexus-Scion
factory-backed diagnostic software Techstream https://techinfo.toyota.com/techInfo...rog&_nfpb=true, which I personally can't see purchasing, due to initial and subsequent follow-up subscription prices (though you could take a chance on ebay or a Chinese vendor site to get an older version (here's one listed on DHGate)https://www.dhgate.com/product/2018-...EaAnC4EALw_wcB

Carly scanner/dongle with the premium package (with coding) is usually $159, but here's a Xmas sale for $52 (if I'm reading it correctly), with additional options available. I didn't see a subscription price listed, but I think there is one. https://www.mycarly.com/?utm_source=...stmas_campaign

Carista requires an $80 adapter/dongle and a $50/year subscription, which looks OK to me, if or when I need/want to do coding on my wife's Lexus. https://carista.com/en

I'll just take my chances adding the Foxwell software for Toyota-Lexus-Scion to my 510 later, but then, I don't intend to do any coding in the foreseeable future. YMMV
