Default Difference between Japanese and US ECU?

Can someone explain the difference, if any, between the two Ecu's. And if there is a difference, what is the reason why Japanese parts wont work with our US Ecu's

Can't answer the first part of the question but uhm as for why JDM ECU parts/software doesn't work with USDM ECU parts/software is most likely for the same reason you cannot play DVDs and video games from Europe or Japan on U.S. consoles and DVD players, which is different file formats in the programming. Just a wild guess though.

There are already a few 2010 US SPEC Lexus models running an optional Factory Installed Lexus Remote Start system..

Equally valuable on cold winter mornings and hot summer afternoons, the remote engine starter allows you to start the engine—as well as activate your air conditioner, heater and windshield defogger—before entering your vehicle. Simply pre-set your climate-control settings and your vehicle will be ready and waiting with a comfortable interior temperature. The remote engine starter is also fully integrated into your keyless entry system, so there's no need for an additional remote.
$559 MSRP


Just NOT the IS Line up yet....

I get the feeling the IS won't get it till 2011 or until they redo the model.
