You lock the doors, mirrors automatically fold. When you unlock the doors, mirror automatically expand. There are video clips in earlier post as well. Not sure which part confused you...

Ok so it has nothing to do with the key fob right ??? What confuses me is how would one controle orturn these options on or off ::Also come with few extra functions such as windows up doing locking, auto door locks after parking (optional. default setting is disabled), flash lights when door opens, etc.

Using key fob does the same thing. All the functions are preprogramed to interact with CANBUS control unit in the car. As long as the car that supports those function and have basic elements installed, it will function described. For example, if GX base model that does not come with the power folding (manual) option, the auto folding function will not work. As simple as that.

I think it's just the motor.. probably the same 4.0L V6 as the 4Runner.

It is Wikipedia but they say--->

"Lexus later released a lower displacement GX 400 in 2012 for the Chinese market, with a 4.0-liter V6 engine."

I need to pick up a OBD splitter... I need at least a 2-1 to keep module in place when using Techstream or OBD reader.... a 3-1 might be nice if other modules come out.

I did have a splitter for a location tracker module and Carista. Not sure if adding multiple after market devices would cause OBD conflicts with data confusion?

I think this can cause issues from a quick search... more research needed. Not a big deal to pull module off though.
