Default TRAC and VSC defeatable on 350 AWD F Sport?

Does anyone know if the TRAC and VSC systems are fully defeatabe on the 2014+ F Sport 350 AWD model?

I know there is a button to turn them 'off' but are they 100% disabled, therefore allowing for proper drifts and wheelspin on slippery surfaces?

With many new cars turning the systems off still leaves the nannies under control in the background

You can fully disable traction control by holding the traction control button for 10 seconds. you dont have to do all that extra step shown on the video. You can do burnouts with this method

I've heard this too, watching that video looked like some kind of cheat code for Playstation haha

I had an 06 IS 350 and had to do all of that to disable everything.

Things are easier now.

Does holding down the TSC button for ten seconds also disable the VSC?

There was a discussion here regarding whether or not holding the button is the same as the pedal sequence: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/is-...n-control.html
But there doesn't seem to be a definitive answer.
