disabling the daytime running lights might be a dealer thing, should give them a call. Also where in FL are you I might know of some shops in your area.

I'm located in jacksonville, fl. Do you also know of a shop that would be able to replace my factory subwoofer.

I thought the dealer could program "customer preferences" which would include disabling the drl's.

Would have thought that was the case. My SC does not have DRL. The only cars in the UK that have DRL are Volvos

I had my DRLs disabled by the dealer before I took delivery. They insisted it couldn't be done, till I showed them it was an option on the custom preference list, then they said it was illegal(not true in MA) then they said Lexus won't let them do it. I asked why Lexus programmed the car for the option? Short answer was I refused delivery and told them I would just go to a Lexus dealer that wanted my business. Incredibly, they suddenly figured out how to do it.

Hmm it should take about 3-4 hours and about $500 in parts. I think you might want to listen to how my sub sounds before you decide to upgrade the stock sub. I am thinking that adding an 8" sub in a custom sealed enclosure might be a better idea. You dont get the best quality bass from a free air.
