Can paddle shift software be upgraded?
Is it possible to have the software upgraded in a 2007 IS350 so the paddle shifters will operate when the transmission is in D as is possible on the 2009 models?

I'm sure there's no official way to add this to a pre-09 model.
There might be a way to physically swap one or more ECUs to enable it (kinda like how you can enable the "real" TC/VSC disable on 06 models if you swap out the trac ECU) but like that mod I suspect it'd be stupid-expensive to do it for relatively little benefit given they're not even real shifters in the first place.

actually i asked dealer to update the transmission system if they can, so that I can down shift in D with paddle like 09-10 IS models but mechanics said it uses totally different system and they can't just upgrade the software.
but I still think, it is possible........
