Guys if you saw that link as a advertisement on our site please PM me directly with as much info as you can next time you see it so I can get it blocked.
Some of the ads are Google Adsense and we have to manually block them when the categories we have set up get circumvented by Google advertisers.
Before exiting the page that has the advertisment on it right click on the ad and copy the 'properties', sometimes a very long string and if you do click it, get the URL it goes to initially and any redirects.
We try to catch them as soon as they sneak through but they're sometime hard to track back to.

Then how come no one in over 25 years hasn't been able to do it? The computers on-board Lexus and Toyota cars use proprietary software. That means the software is NOT open code. It's like MS Windows. It's proprietary, patented, copyrighted, and uncrackable.

Any computer code can be cracked with enough time and effort. Just because something hasn't been cracked (to your knowledge) doesn't make it uncrackable. There are also laws passed in recent years that make some reverse engineering illegal. If there are hobbyist ECU crackers out there, they might not want to make their work all that public.
Hell, boy! Ain't you seen "Independence Day??" They done cracked an alien computer on that one!

youd have to get an air fuel controller of some sort and tune it, you wont get much though. and the ECU of the IS will override it and go back to stock apparently, even if you have it plugged in

Some of the more expenseive A/F controllers have a way to trick the O2 sensors to prevent the cars from detuning back to stock. I don't know of one that can drive the injectors directly however.
