No, as far as I'm aware remote start was never a factory option in Europe for these cars as it is forbidden in many places (including Switzerland) to have the car just idle to warm up or cool down. I think it was offered on later models in the US as part of a telematics subscription, but that used 3G and can therefore not be used anymore since 3G has been shut down. Looks like you have to go after-market anyway for remote start on a 4th gen LS.
Hey Mario, it looked to me that the spindle on the tire machine is not true (bend or not mounted correctly). This is one possible reason for your rim clearance issues.
This is soo stupid (If I get it right and you are just using this machine for private use and not commercially). I love it!! 3 Thumbs up from me at least!
Hey Mario, it's pretty clear why you lasted just one week in your garage internship! 😂🤣Just kidding. 😁That's super cool that you now are getting equipped to enjoy the yiur cars hobby. Can't wait to visit this future SwissCarGuy tuning shop HQ in Xafauzen. 😎Cheers.
I too have the exact same machine manufactured in 2002. Your wheel locking shaft wobbles around like it is not centered. Unless someone changed the wheel tower mechanism, you are using the wrong wheel shaft (the one you have is round). It is supposed to be a hex shaft. I would look down the bore and see if it is round or hex. If hex, this is your problem. Buy the hex shaft for your machine. They went to the round shaft one on later manufactured ones.
Never heard of this brand, but I knew Italy has a tradition of small but complex machine engineering. Unfortunately great machine companies such as Comau are being sold to international groups.
Wow, that machine looked dangerous, overcomplicated and unefficient. But you will get better at it with practise. Is the axis holding the wheel really stable and centered? It looked that it could be worn and wobbly. It was however fun and that is the purpose of the channel for me.
Mario, Mario it's obvious you have too much money and time on your hands! You're like a kid in a candy store. 🎉 Enjoy it! And by the way, when will these two machines pay themselves off?
The shop I bought it from just ordered a new Butler machine, which is waaay more automated. It's the first tire changer certified to allow the operator to physically walk away after the wheel has been put onto the machine. The machine does the rest by itself.
A machine like that in the hands of a fool - what could go wrong?
This is a bit of an odd question but is your Lexus LS 600hL fitted with a remote start? If it is, do you know if it is OEM or not?

Self knowledge is the key to happyness.
This channel is criminally underrated, keep the video's coming!
crazy enough

Awesome! Every car guys dream to have his own tire changing machine.

5:41 thought that the Phaeton returned when the soundtrack hit
Over the top !

good enough machine, gets job done
This will pay for itself in no time.
Wrap old sensors in aluminum foil completely and put them in metal box to prevent transmission, Faraday cage

Hello Mario, when can we come to get our tires changed? 😊
Talk to my shop manager for that. 😉
Be careful it may be a transformer, a advance alien machine😂😂😂😂

Worse: Comau has been sold to private equity. Only a matter of time until it is history.
@swisscarguy This private equity will probably sell to the chinese in a few years.
How much do you charge for a tire change?
_More than you can afford, pal!_
I wouldn't feel comfortable working on other peoples' wheels.

Never. But it's like with the stupid expensive watches. Owning them makes me happy.
Nice equipment however, this one is "Too" automated. Happy New Year!
