I would like to know are there any tricks to make the side mirrors auto fold after locking the car??? Thanks!
I too would like to know if there's a way to have this be automatic rather than having to hit the button every time.

Thanks.

Here is the removal of the unit LINK
Here is the wires you need to look at and cut (for an 2006 GS300) LINK
Read the previous link, and read the updated version for the 2007 GS350. This also has the switch. LINK

Also I find I am too far from my steering wheel (it's the manual one, not remotely adjustable) and I was wondering if I can put a spacer in there, or if anyone has any advice on this..... airbags etc! I'm 6.2 plus and when I'm in the car I have to sit way back..... and yes I know the obvious answer to this one aswell... and I probably should have got a GS!

Thanks for the great threads and advice!

Default Hybrid DVD

Hey Guys,

I try to burn a copy of the hybrid DVD but my computer is telling me that there is not enough room to burn the data onto the DVD. So I checked out the size of the original V6.1 and it's about 7.2 GB. The size of the blank disk is about 4.8 GB i assume. How did you guy's burn the DVD? I replaced the V6.1 LOADING.KWI file with V5.1.

Does anyone know how to access the bluetooth menu for a 2004 LS430 with NAV? I was only able to get to the standard service menu, not the BT sound quality adjustment.

Thanks

Default Hi from down under

I have been reading your tips and tricks forum all night and am glad to say that I'm glad I took the time to read all posts. Especially the one that states not to change the country on the sat nav.

I think I will try the hybrid dvd method posted by Sonartech. It seems to be the best work around without having to cut wires.

I hope this works on the Australian version of the GS450h. I will keep you posted on my progress.

I got the seat belt buzzer mod to work first go Gotta say I like this forum, wish we had one in oz.

Keep up the good work

It's hard to explain but it's on page 23 of the manual. That was my best find besides shutting off the seat belt buzzer.
Hopefully someone can help. I have a 2007 and there is nothing in the full or quick reference manual on how to do this. Matter of fact the manaul states that it has to be taken to the dealer for this customization.

Can anyone tell me the step by step instructions?

Default Tire selection.

I was just wondering if you guys know of a better tyre to reduce the amount of road noise I get from my low profile Dunlops, that were standard equipment on my GS? I think you guys spell it tire.

Thanks in advance for any help.
