Cool a little tip/trick for the LS430

I'm sure many of you know this but to those that don't...


If you extend/retract and/or raise/lower steering all the way then click 8 more times in same direction it will go even more.


Any more w/ some tricks/tips would be fun.

If this is the case it cannot possibly be good for the motors in the column. I know my extender motor broke and it was $900 to fix so im gonna leave those little guys alone.

It's the same for the GS. Why would it be bad for the motors? My motor "broke" so I opened it up and it just had old dried up grease jamming the gears so I cleaned it and put in some new grease and it works fine.

Any one know how you can save this setting ? I'm 6'1, so it helps to extend the steering wheel just a little bit but, I have to do it every time I get in the car.

As for the one worried about motor problems, doesn't your steering wheel move every time you start the car ? What is the difference if you just do this when you need it ?

Also, somewhere in here, there is a "tips and tricks" post, with all this type of stuff for the ls
