AWESOME, if it is removing a fuse that is good enough for me, I can remove it for the weekend or when I want to screw around and put it in for normal driving. Obviously some pedal/switch combo to disable would be 10x better.

I agree , lets keep this going until we have confirmation!

I picked up my IS on Saturday (NOV 12) and haven't got to try pulling the fuse yet! I actually planed on trying it ASAP but the car has been so much fun to drive I honestly haven't thought once about VDIM - especially when pulling away HARD from my neighbor in his new 300i.

Sucks... I'm in FL right now on business [as of today] - I can't wait to get back to my new ride.

I'm actually taking my IS350 to AutoX this coming Sunday and plan on spending some time fussing around in the fuse box to see if I can dig anything up.

I'll let you guys know how much TRAC/VDIM gets in the way of actual hard racing too if I dont find a way to disable it.

I'm going to run the car entirely stock for the curious. The IS350 hasnt even been classed yet by SCCA so I'm waiting for that.

Save yourself some time and give this a shot!
I've been told it works!

"as it states in the 2006 avalon owners manual ....start the car with the parking prake on ....then foot brake twice....(keep the foot brake down)....then parking brake twice (keep it down )and repeat till skid light is on the dash.....it will reset when you restart the car"

It has been tested by someone on My.IS and he says the skid light comes up, but he hasnt driven it yet.

one step closer, all he really needs is a patch of sand or ice/snow for an easy /safe test if he's too scared to do something rough on straight pavement.

well, it looks like a few people have confirmed it works but havent really pushed the car very hard. i'll give it a shot on sunday at the track and see if it is the real deal. i'll have a friend bring a vid camera too just for fun.
