Adding one more. If your trying to get your freak and you dont want your running lights on just depress the emergency brake when you crank the car. Running lights will not come on until you release the emergancy brake. If your car is off and you need to push a button in the drop box just open the driver door. The buttons light up everytime you open the door even when the car is off.

Just got a 03 GS SportDesign and was excited about the audio adjsutments, however it appears it does not work on post 01's. I can get to the 190 screen but no matter how long I hold the AM button no luck.

I tried the Audio trick with my 03 GS300 and got to the Japanese screen...
Since then, I have updated the satnav DVD to a 2004/2005 disk.. and when trying the proceedure again, it now comes up in English..
Basically, it just appears to be a diagnostic menu for the whole Audio/Satnav system..

From what I get, I think this is a trick to keep the running lights from coming on so you can be stealth at night?

Yea, this trick is for when you want to spend quality time with someone else in your car at night, but you want to do it without anyone noticing that the car is on ... Whether it be in a parking lot, driveway, or side of the street ... this way your lights don't bring attention to your car so you can focus your attention on the task at hand
