John Da Man, I believe we need to wait for some type of electronic suspension adjustment unit to over ride the factory setting before this is possible. Car is too new to have this item developed. I lowered my car to the lowest setting by accident while playing around with the brake calipers. Car is currently going back to Lexus Technician to have them reset all the settings.

P.S. Time for you to go buy a LS460

Buy the Touring L. Its already nearly a half inch lower than the regular versions. I wouldn't want it any lower but others certainly may.

John, I found what we're looking for. Under the Japanese website, it stated that "At present time, there is no air suspension controller or a private harness which conform to rec suspension LS460." But right above it they also said that it's under development. However, they already have a TV-kit and TV+Nav kit that works. Here is the link http://www.datasystem.co.jp/ I hope they can have it available soon.

Hybrids,
Please correct me if I'm wrong, because I'm new to Lexus, but I've installed Eclipse in my wife's Sequoia which has the same Lockout feature in it and is made by the same company that makes Nav units for Lexus and I was able to bypass it by grounding the Emergency Brake wire. Has anyone tried doing it with the new gen Nav units? I can't wait for my LS to come in so that I could try it. My LS is arriving Dec. 15, and once I get it I'll try it and let you guys know.

Dmitry,

The new unit is different from previous Lexus units that I have experience with. Currently only Datasystems have module that works with TV and TV-NAV, but is only available for Japanese models, so I cannot confirm that this will work with your car. This is their webside http://www.datasystem.co.jp/ they are also working on the air suspension controller. My suggestion is to wait until there is a module for it. My old module that my car stereo guy created for the LS430 and the LX470 does NOT work with this car. I'll ask him to take a look at the new system once I have car painted. Also, ordering the Wald Type 1 body kit for my brother has keep me really busy since I don't speak japanese

bro, make sure every single time u have ur ride in the air. U have to let the car sit at the same spot and idle for 3-5 minutes untill the auto leveling suspension set do its job when ur back on the ground, otherwise the local low ridAs will have u on their VIP list.

The Datasystem air suspension controller just came out a few days ago. I am going to check with Carson Toyota if they are going to import them.

bit, Isn't that the manual for the older unit? I believe the new unit is the ASC680L and also connects to the monitor. I want to order one but dont want to "test" it out on my new LS!!
