Default Look what I just got !!!!

Whoo hooo, after 6 weeks, my Data System controller is here



Don't have time until the week after to install. But when I do, it will be a complete step by step write up with pictures and videos for those that are interested. I'm going to try to get alot of the manual translated but if someone already has and can save me the trouble, please let me know. Thanks.

Is that a PnP harness? If it is, that's nice.

Bastard... I want it too. Cannt wait to see the results and different settings. Enjoy.
One of the coolest features I thought was, programming the car to lower itself at set speed. I think one inch drop at 60 MPH would rock!!!
Ahhh the options .

P.S. I want LS430, Ultra please!

No need to program the car since all UL's lower themselves at highway speeds.. If I am wrong someone correct me..

Curious do you think the controller would fit under the ashtray door if you gutted the contents underneth??

Looking forward to getting mine in the next few weeks

Maybe. I'll take a look next time I'm in the car to see how deep each one is. That would be a good spot, though.

I can see if you cut or saw out the bottom of the ashtray, it should fit. A good way to hide the wiring. The unit comes with a metal bracket so it would not wiggel at all.

Dave,

From the dimensions you sent me if we can get more depth after gutting the ashtray it should work I think.. Would look pretty slick to push the ashtray door and see the contol unit sitting in there. Might need your help when I go to take apart that center console.

$680 shipped from Carson (L-Tune). I don't recall exactly but someone found it cheaper using either eBay or Yahoo auction on the Japanese site. Something like $200 less. Haven't heard if it was ordered or received.
