Default LOW Setting on Suspension when Parked

Hi all. I'm new here and to the LX470, but not to Lexus. The wife has a 2006 GX470 Ultra Premium.

I was wondering about the height adjustable suspension settings on my 2003 LX470. I like the LOW setting for ingress and egress, especially with regards to my three young children. Can truck be programmed so that every time I park it, the suspension will by default automatically revert to the LOW setting?

No. The US market LX can not be programmed to do that as it comes from the factory.

Thanks for the quick reply. Does this also hold true for Canadian market LX's?

I'm going to guess that its not possible unless you create your own ECU that senses the park switch and then sends a signal to the AHC ECU to drop it into L. It can be done, but its going to require some electrical knowledge, a full service manual and time.

Thanks for the replies, guys. I guess I will have to be a little less lazy and train myself to actually push the suspension setting button to "LOW" for a few seconds every time I park my truck.
