Default How to tell if you have Dynamic rear steering?

Just bought a 2013 RWD GS 350 F-Sport. Bought it from carmax so I didn't get a good breakdown of all the options. Is there an easy way to tell what your car has included? Specifically I'm not sure how to tell if I have dynamic rear steering or any other additional packages besides the f-sport?

Thanks....is it normal that this tool wouldn't say anything about an F-Sport package or Mark Levinson anywhere even thought my car has them?

I'm currently shopping for GS. I was trying to find a good decoder but apparently there is none to tell you exactly what options were installed by factory except https://techinfo.toyota.com. 2day trial cost $15 which is I had to pay, no regrets.

In my area I found that generally cars that had F-Sport , ML, and HUD also had the dynamic handling package. You can check under the car in the rear to see if you have the rear steering mechanism.

Can you just call your local Lexus dealer and give them your VIN and ask? Or ask if they can order you a copy of the original window sticker? Seems like a pretty reasonable request. Probably even email it to you.

You can either call Lexus or go to your local dealership and get a print out of your exact options.

Take a picture with the flash on under your car and post it here and then we can tell you if you have rear steer or leaking shocks etc....

If it hauls *** and stays flat around corners you have it.

^this. Look under the back of your car if it has this then you have DRS.

Interesting I have something else in that spot... With a heat shield and what looks like two coolant lines going into it.
