Doesn't exist for your model year car (or others beyond those sample test cars) as far as I've ever read.

It has always been a prototype. They never made it for any car other than the want that they used to demonstrate it with over 10 years ago, however, the same technology is used in the Semi Trucks for the driver seat to help with fatigue.

Pretty cool stuff, but I can't help but think the drivers over exaggerated the head flopping around a little driving over the "Long bumps"....

Bose deemed that no one would want to pay the $$$ for the system and dropped it. The LS400 test cars are the only ones that ever had it installed.

Mercedes has Magic Body Control where a camera scans the road ahead and adapts the suspension to offer a smoother ride. I hope Lexus can replicate.
