crawl control
So crawl is 5 different speeds? FSM seems to suggest that. I assume DAC on "non-crawl" models is basically a fixed speed downhill crawl control. I've used it a few times on steep hills. There is mention in FSM about overheating issues if used for extended periods of time.
Crawl Control - 1 to 5 MPH
DAC- appears to be around 3 MPH

For crawl control if it was just a BCM and console switch swap like in the 4Runner...might be something for me to think about.. not positive a new master cylinder is needed though. I notice '10-'13 they had standalone crawl available as an option but I can't say I've seen that unicorn. That might be rarer than the GX's without nav.

You have the full Driver Support Package on yours?

Looks like at ~1:45 he put in 4L and possible center diff to utilize ATRAC. For those that don't know... keep under like 2200RPM or so for ATRAC to work best.

Just speculation but I don't think splicing would be necessary on the GX... just a console with the crawl switch on it. There were some physically absent switch assemblies on the 4Runner.

Are you saying that the wiring could potentially be there and all that would be needed is the switch installed??

That very well could be.... I've thrown this out there to give thought to the adventurous souls who want to travel the path first :-)
At minimum a new switch and a BCM. The big expensive if....is if a different master cylinder is needed. The BCM new is not too bad at around $500...used probably half that. The 4Runner guy didn't need the master cylinder replaced.
Some more info I posted in a different thread.

If all the connectors on the wiring harness side of console switch are terminated in the connector then a major piece is already done.
