Sub woofer mod
It worked for me. I set F and R at 5, P1 at 2. There's a big difference compared to stock setting. I'm still not sure what are the other features (P2, L, etc...) for? BTW, I have a 99 GS400 with the Pioneer unit. Great mod.

#5 - Drew is talking about the lock cylinder that located above the trunk release and fuel door release on the lower left of the dash...
the lock cylinder can be pushed in to prevent anyone from using the electronic switches to open the trunk or fuel door... in order to release this lock, you need your master key... just turn and the lock cylinder will push back up to the oringinal unlocked position.

Again, what's the purpose of this?

i just wanted to
You don't have 1 and 6 buttons for radio presets? If it's nav you have to follow the procedures mentioned in the posts above. If you don't have nav. push the 1 and the 6 on the radio presets and push CD 4 times release everything once you see P190 and then hold the AM until Audio comes up, then adjust according to suggestions in previous posts.

lights
about the headlights thing, I know auto turns the light on when its dark and off when its bright, but when you park do you then have to manually turn the lights off from the switch or does it turn off after a certain time period, because i left my lights on for about 2 minutes and it never turned off so i had to do it before it killed the battery, will be trying the 2 touch of the lock button later but i think i have tried it before and not have it work, do you do it in the auto position or in the regular on position?

Pressing lock twice on my remote will trun off the lights, UNLESS the trunk is open. Then they stay on until I close it. Found this out the hard way.
I think a relay a broken somewhere.

I've searched around and couldn't find this one:
When i'm taking off in the car and either put the car in reverse or drive, i'd like to have all the doors lock immediately. Is this possible? I didn't see it in the c-best list.

My '02 GS430 Nav. does that. It locks all doors when I shift to Drive or Reverse.
It was like that when I bought the car. I thought it's a standard feature for the GS.

4. In the glove box, you can get to the Air conditioner filter and clean it out. You can remove the panel by pulling it straight out and than slide out the A/C filter. I could not believe how dirty and filthy my filter was and I was breathing all that ****** when the AC was on.
I have a CD changer in the glove box. How do I get to the AC filter?
