I have the 2006 GS430. Whenever I place my car in park, I'd like the doors to unlock and according to the manual (see below instructions direct from manual) you can program them to do so. But, I am unable to program.. Nothing happens and I am definitely following the instructions corrrectly. Is there another method to program? I stopped by the lexus dealership on saturday and the techs were gone but someone from the service dept told me the only way that he knew of was for the tech to hook up his computer and program it, then I asked him why it was documented in the owners manual that is was programmable and he couldn't answer. Has anyone tried this or had success with the manuals instructions or know of another way ? Thanks.

I tried these steps on my 2007 GS 430 but it didn't work.
Any one else tried it or done it?

Never tried it, I got mine reprogrammed when I took it in for the complimentary "personalized settings"
