Can't you accomplish the same thing by just holding the TC off button for about 10 secs until the light comes on? I could swear I've done that before..

Holy crap that's hideous!! To each his (or her) own I guess...

Do yourself a favor and buy a Kia please. :whistles:

Sick work! I too have been dying to clean up my brakes and paint the calipers etc.

I'm rather stunned and quite honestly pretty *BLEEP*ed off that the ASL doesn't work in non-ML nav systems. For crying out loud, it worked fantastic in my 2000 3 series bimmer.. why can't it work right in my almost 50k car? I think we all need to write letters to Lexus corporate or something.

There's definitely no perceptible delay in my 350.

No.

Looks much worse than the standard location of the front plates IMO. It's just too low and ugly looking.

I have the regular nav and the ASL doesn't do a damn thing, I've wondered about this from day 1. On my girlfriend's 2000 BMW, it works great! On my '07 Lexus, no suck luck.. :(

Wow...

Hear hear! That one is definitely annoying..

1. you must have a short arm or something.. i have no problem with this 2. don't notice this 3. don't press on the break, it doesn't start the engine but turns it on 4. this makes no sense, something wrong with your nav or ur not explaining it right 5. put the damn seat belt on, it's the law and can get u a ticket.. u'll be thankful then lol 1. In an 07, the inside door handle is in the way of your arm and wrist being straight to hit the windows. You have to angle your wrist to reach them. Not impossible task, just an annoyance. 3. Try and activate your sunroof after you shut off your car. You'll see what I mean. 4. What I'm saying is that while I understand they don't want the DRIVER messing with the NAV while driving, why can't the passenger?? The car already has sensors in it, sensing a passenger. It should "disarm" the NAV lockout. 5. Ever frequent a drive thru? You take your seat belt off to get your wallet, why do I need a seat belt to pull forward, pay window one, get my food at window two.. etc. The Lexus GS430 we traded in on this just gave you one ding/ding. That's it. Not BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG 1. You've got some reading up to do. 2. You've got some growing up to do. The windows controls are just fine, I have a minor issue with the placement of lumbar support and seat adjustment switches but then again, I rarely ever touch them once they're set. Cruise control - depends on your speed. The car wants to be in the right gear for the speed it's in, nothing wrong with that. Ignition - Take your foot off the break, press start, press start again. It's just like a regular ignition switch - it has 3 stages. Putting your foot on the brake simply takes you directly to the 3rd (ig-on). PS - Your car conveniently comes equipped with a user manual, use it! Nav - Even though you explained it like a child, I suspect many people understood what you were getting at. There's no way around it, it's a safety feature. Even with a passenger on board, how are they supposed to know who's reaching over and using the locked out features? This is something you could take up with Toyota's legal dept. Seatbelt - takes 30 secs of reading and 30 secs of doing to turn it off. :whistles:

I don't think anyone knows for sure, but like I said - it's worth a shot. It seems impossible that you can do any irreversible damage. Be sure to keep us posted on what you find :)

Your broker is dicking you around. Get a different model to get the upgraded stereo? That's insane! btw unless you're really an audiophile (that term gets thrown around way too loosely these days), you won't notice much appreciable difference b/w the stock system and ML. The stock system is widely regarded as one of the best in class (standard systems). 4-5 months is the max acceptable wait for a special order and this may be cut down by being a little smart and timing it right. Special orders are typically placed or/around the 20th of each month (double check this with your dealership), so if you place your order on the 25th, you're waiting an extra month by default. Also, make SURE you double check all the options that the dealer selects when placing your order. Because your average dealer is a moron, the odds of you getting exactly what you asked for are less than 100%. Lose the broker, go to the dealership, get exactly what you want, wait 4 months, enjoy :)
