Default L-tuned Ecu ?

I need some help guys. I am a pretty dumb person when it comes to installing things. I want to know how easy the L-tuned ecu is to install? The dealership wants a 100 bucks for install and I said no I will try and tackle it myself. I got the part to day and it looks like it is plug and play somewhat. My ? is can a person that is slightly mecanically inclined person install the ecu?I dont want to damage anything. I tryed a search for install directions but am unable to locate them. Thanks A Slow Lexus Tuner

Do it yourself. It took me 30 minutes with the help of the DIY write-up on CL. Do a search and I am sure you will find it.

30 minutes max and that is being very slow and meticulous. No need to pay the dealer $100.

ACNUP, did you do the install of the L-Tuned Steering ECU.

Do you also have the L-Tuned Shocks and Springs Installed too?

I just had mine installed today by the dealer and here are my commens in the link below:

No I did not get a chance it was raining outside and was too cold. Its suppose to be 58 degrees tomorrow I will try it then. I do plan on getting the shocks and the springs here shortly. Your thoughts look to be pretty much on point.
