The dealer can do it. I had it done by a indy shop with a special scan tool. It took literally 2 minutes. I also had them programed all doors unlock when I put in park. It is called Cbest settings. Do a search on this forum for the pdf list of all the Cbest options.

Tilt Motor
I took my car into the Toyota dealer to check the motor. Didn't want to buy a motor if it just happened to be a switch. It was the motor. Diagnosis was free. I found the part at www.lexussouthatlanta.com for $304.12. The Toyota dealer quoted me $450 for the part so I saved about $150 by getting the part myself. Kinda surprised they let me do that. Labor will be about $150 which according to the service tech is about half what the book calls for. So, it looks like my total will be around $450. Not sure its worth it but I hate stuff that doesn't work.
Thanks for all the replies.

This is a little more harsh but you can set the wheel and easily disconnect the power to the motor as well. Did this on my old LS400 when they were about to die. I might disable the auto feature or at least grease the mechanism really good.
