So I guess the daytime running lamps are not part of the personalized setting? I don't see it on this pdf.

Very strange -- why did they bother to make it possible and then prohibit doing it?
So my earlier question holds, if this really is policy for dealers, are these Lexus scan tools also in independent shops, who presumably aren't bound by Lexus dealer rules?
If so, does anyone know of one near L.A.? . PM me if this is top secret info that you don't want to post.

Are these Lexus scan tools used for diagnostic purposes, or do they exist just to set up the owner preferences (or in the case of DRL, Lexus USA preferences)?

Is there someplace in the world which prohibits DRL's? . I doubt that.
So either:
- as a policy matter, Lexus does not enable DRL's in some jurisdictions -- in which event building the vehicles with an ability to disable DRL's makes sense, but leaves me wondering why they don't let U.S. buyers make the same decision on their own; or
- Lexus policy is to enable DRL's everywhere -- in which event my question stands: why bother to put in the ability to disable?

It's true that RDL's are not legally required, however, I talked to my insurance salesperson earlier today, and she said that if a car has DRL's, they give 3% off the policy. So maybe it's more because of pressure from the insurance industry than the government, dealers, buyers, etc? Because if this feature is easy to disable, you could just buy a car with DRL's, get the discount, and then turn the DRL's off. If insurers are giving a 3% discount for this feature, it must be worth something - if anyone knows about how effective different safety features are, it's probably the insurance companies, right? In any case, we're all saving 3% because of it (assuming all companies do this - I got my quote from State Farm). I'm guessing that wouldn't be true if they were easily disabled.

Do you know where one might get this done?
My salesman says dealers won't -- against Lexus policy.

BTW, I doubt VDIM is that embeded that it couldn't be turned off - it's just more specialized than a simple scan tool could achieve. If it's a software thing, it can always be hacked.

Well there it is. But having this info is not really enough, you either need the scan tool or find someone who can do it. I highly doubt any Lexus dealer will perform this function no matter what, even if you demand it and are buying brand new model, they still won't do it.
