Default RX350 cheats

Was thinking that there must be lots of cheats out there to personally reprogram how the RX works. Anyone know of any cheats out there? I will start off with two that I know of.

RESET MAINT. LIGHT

1.) Make sure odometer shows mileage (not trip A or B) 2.) With odometer showing, shut off ignition. 3.) While pressing the odometer/trip mileage button, turn ignition to ‘ON’. 4.) Hold button in and watch until the odometer reading turns back to straight lines.

(this is useful if you are going to 5000 miles between changes, and the light goes on at 3000 miles!)

TURN OFF SEATBELT CHIME:

1) Turn the car on but do not start the engine, keep foot off brake. Cycle your trip reset button until it reads ODO. Turn ignition back off and wait a few seconds.

2) Make sure seatbelt is not fastened.

3) Turn the ignition back on, but do not start the car, keep foot off brake. As soon as you see everything light up, press and hold the trip reset button and do a long 12 second count.

4) Keep your finger on the trip reset button! Fasten your seat belt. As soon as you fasten the seat belt you should see the ODO display go from XXXX miles to "b-on". At that time take your finger off of the trip reset button and press it again. It should cycle to "b-off". Turn off ignition and you are done.

I don't see how the maint light reset is a cheat since it is in the manual, but the seatbelt chime is gold! I hate that thing!!
