regarding the stereo adjustments, jesod mentioned that he changed F and R to 7 and P1 to 3. later gs-ireland chimed in on what all the letters actually stand for... did anyone change any of the other settings such as the W(woofer), P2, or L? if so what did you set them to or is changing just the F, R, and P1 good enough?

I just tried the Audio Mod for my 99 gs 300.. and it worked pretty well. There is a noticeable difference in the base, which adds a little edge to the overall system.
These were my mods:
P1- 5-7
P2- 5-7
L - 0-2
F- 1-3
R- 1-3
W- 1-3
It works well for me, or it could have been getting sick of constantly turning on and off the car. Either way, try it.. Props to Jesod!

3. Steering wheel can be lowered even more by holding the down button for about 6 seconds followed by by a couple more pushes which will bring the steering wheel even lower.
To move the steering wheel and extra 1/2in to 1inch in any directions....click the button 8 times in the direction you want it to move it

I remember reading about the audio hack when I first got my 98 GS400, but never tried it. Does anyone know if it will work for the nak system? I also have a jl w6 so all I want to do it get more clarity out of my speakers instead of just bass from the stock sub (which is now disabled pretty much).

Interesting Door Lock Feature
This might be mentioned elsewhere, if so, I apologize in advance.
A sure fire way to tell if one of your door lock solenoids is starting to give up the ghost; When you are walking away from your car and you hit the door lock button on the key fob, you hear the door lock solenoids click and the lights flash. If you do this and you hear the locks click and nothing else, it means one of the doors is not locked. If you manually lock the door with the failed solenoid, the lights flash when you push the key fob button.
My car started not flashing the lights when I locked it a while ago, I wondered about it but never thought it was a problem until someone opened up one of the rear doors after I locked it.
