Does anyone know how the lexus dealer programs settings within the ecu? It would be nice to reverse the traction control to always be off, adjust PWR mode to have adjusted Air/fuel settings and not just shift timing, I dont know maybe something along those lines.

Any ideas, thanks

I doubt it
Back when I had my Maxima, I remember the Snap-On computer was able to adjust A/F ratio, it even let you adjust the temp for the coolings fans to turn on.

I usually just drill a hole and my head and plug in with a USB.
