I thought that the 350 didn't require this because it stays off when turned off with the button (430 - at least the 06 - automatically comes back on when you hit 30 or 35).

On my 07 GS350, you just need to hold the traction control button down while in park until it beeps and then traction control and VSC turns off and stays off.

Maybe it was a mid-model year change.

when you press and hold, did you see all the light comes up (vsc, trac, and maybe also the triangle? forgot already)?

I think on my car you have to do it while the transmission is in park and I get a beep and then all the lights showing up.
