I just read this and just about died laughing. Who comes up with this stuff?

"For 2006 IS models, the stability control system/traction control system can be disabled through non-conventional methods by using a code during engine start. This involves starting the car with the parking brake engaged, releasing the parking brake, pushing the brake pedal twice, holding it on the second push, engaging the parking brake twice, holding it on the second, and repeating until the vehicle traction light appears on the dash. This will effectively disable the system until the car is turned off."

Reminds of me the Konami UP-UP-DOWN-DOWN-LEFT-RIGHT-LEFT-RIGHT-B-A-START code from the video games.

yep, the peddle dance.

I remember doing cheat codes in GTA3 and you see your character run left, right, up, down and jump a bit before the *ping* sound comes on lol

llamaboiz

i remember the atari 2600/space invaders, when you turn on the machine hit the reset leaver at the same time = 2 shots

One of the easiest cars to do burnouts in. You can even do it with traction on.

I have the up/down/up/down nav override, but I have an 06. Oh snap!

06-IS250

is this serious or is this some kind of a joke? I have a 2006 250 and I have a little button beside my "snow" button that turns traction off...is that not it? im confused now.

Bichon

It's serious. The button on the dash invokes a "traction control off" mode that automatically cancels at 30 MPH. The pedal dance disable traction control until the ignition is switched off.

Now--if after you did all that, you could play Contra on the nav screen, that would be awesome.

Oh by the way, after the pedal dance is done there is a special menu on the nav where it shows how many Gs, how fast you're going, and so forth. Kinda like the one they have in the GTR but not complete.
