Yeah, Like Lexus wouldn't have already done this if it were possible,and this easy????
"How does this product work?
Using your OBD on board computer port - plugs right in - our product modifies signals sent to your vehicles ECU computer. The module optimizes functions such as ignition timing, air fuel mixture, fuel maps and produces more power and better gas mileage. The ECU of modern vehicles controls a series of actuators on an internal combustion engine to ensure the optimum running. It does this by reading values from a multitude of sensors within the engine bay, interpreting the data using multidimensional performance maps (Look-up tables), and adjusting the engine actuators accordingly."

One of the issues for me would be their claims that these don't void your warranty. Its true that there are laws that say installation of an aftermarket part can't void your warranty, however if they find that this part blew your engine then the warranty will be voided. These usually leave evidence in the computer that they were used and can be tracked by the manufacturer. To me this car has plenty of power already and if you need more maybe you should be looking for another model. It was never really meant to be a Sports Sedan in the first place. It just wouldn't be worth it to risk your powertrain warranty over a small HP gain. This is my opinion.

They have proof positive pictures of laptops hooked up to Audi and Mercedes with charts and graphs right there on the screen.

Those aren't made by Toyota or Lexus, so I don't know how their results can be applied to anything other than those tested. Bottom line, if you like it, buy it and let us know how it goes. Again, IMO, there is no way Toyota/Lexus would leave MPG's on the table IF they could easily be gained without negatively effecting drive train life or drive ability.
