Guys, the discussion about using pirated software needs to end here. It violates the rules and it brings considerable heat from Lexus. If there is any more discussion of using illegal versions of Techstream, the thread will disappear permanently.

Just bought ( Sewell @$430) and installed. Had my Toyota dealer do the Techstream initilization ($134)as the steering was not programmed. There is a very noticable improvement in steering responce and feel on my 09 IS350 with the (Power/Sport) button depressed. I have a track event at Thunderhill this July 18th, I'll let everyone know what the difference is.

So I can really feel a difference in the car. I used to spin the Passenger wheel like CRAZY when I floored it turning right from a stop. That is now almost completely gone! The steering is MUCH tighter and responsive when driving over 60mph. Can't wait to try it on the track in 2 weeks. (This is all with the Power/Sport) button engaged.

sorry for the delay, had to settle some personal issues and didnt have the time to respond. yes i got it done and yes it provides a better steering feel. its worth the upgrade but im not sure about 13-14 as those are a little bit more expensive. thanks to mikellucci for being patient with me through the whole process

I just bought (30 min ago) the "42" 2013-2014 ECU from Lexus dealer in Mississauga Ontario. I payed $495 taxes in. Shipping will be 3 weeks from japan. I will let you know how it goes when installed. I'll be coming to see you Rick when I'm ready. My stock 08 ECU will be for sale once the new one is in.

So I just got in from my not so fun experience. I was using tech stream checking out the program and it's capabilities when I wasn't paying attention to my car's battery. Doesn't my battery die while playing with the steering calibration tool? So I call my brother inlaw to give me a boost, car starts up no problem to find out I've lost my steering! I remember driving an old honda civic without power steering and I thought that was a mission, try steering the ISF without it! I parked my car in my underground and rebooted the program. I was able to calibrate the steering ECU and power steering came back instantly. Thank God. I'm yet to receive my 2014 steering ECU, I was just trying out the calibration tool to see if it works and it does like a charm.

I've cleaned up this thread from a few rude responses that I'll ask not be continued.
Reminder this is the IS-F forum, get's a little confusing when 2IS topics get intermingled.

Re calibrated the steering angle today with the Techstream...it took about 5 minutes.
What really freaked me out, is when it is completing the cycle, the steering wheel goes haywire and shakes violently with left and right vibrations...(although the Techstream warns you this is about to happen)
