Default Is DRS only available on F-Sport?

I've got a 2013 GS350 with Luxury package which includes Sport+ mode. I'd seen documents showing on cars with AVS, DRS was active in Sport+ mode. So do the non-F Sport models with the Luxury package get DRS?

DRS is only available on RWD F-Sport models but was an option on top of the F-Sport package and not included with it. (DRS is active in all modes but is enhanced/sharpened in S+)

Ok, thanks. Is this documented anywhere or did you have first hand knowledge?

Just google and download the 2013 GS brochure, the options will be listed on one of the last few pages.

Anyone know why that's so? Always thought AWD DRS would be amazing.

Maybe peasodos can figure it out...

there was a thread somewhere else but pretty much 13-15 fsport models had the option for the most part depending on region but then refresh models pretty much were only custom orders that got it. hybrid models also had them by default and only available on rwd models

You probably would have to swap out parts in the rear end. Thanks for the shout out, but I think this is more of an @eddie420 mod

I think only the f-sport 450h has this. The non f-sport like mine does not.

That's interesting. Will you be installing the 1/2/3/Set button as well if it works? I don't see why it wouldn't work either.

Yes this is the memory seat controls I was referring to, it just wires to the door ecu.

O.O i never really thought to add this. if this is really that simple, I really don't understand why this isn't offered stock

If I had a quarter for every time someone said "I don't get why it wasn't offered stock", I'd be rich. Even with economies of scale, every little part cost money to manufacture. If they can't pass the cost on to the customer, they won't include it. I see where you are coming from but honestly, I have never seen a passenger side memory seat... ever. Guess I don't ride in luxury vehicles enough.
