Cool How to change the "Lane change flasher volume" by the owner

How to change the "Lane change flasher volume" by the owner. I found the specific button sequence/steps by owner to change # of blinks for lane change turn signal on this forum, but looking to change flasher volume without having to pay the dealer to make this simple change.

Default Change Flasher Volume, not # of Lane Change Flashes

Per my post, I already know how to change the number of flashes on lane change. Looking to change flasher Volume (medium to high sound) by user. It is changeable per the manual by the dealer. I want to do it myself.

My local Lexus dealership does LPS settings for free as a client courtesy. I understand most dealerships charge for this service after the 6-month (or 12 month) Lexus grace period.
I use a Bluetooth OBD2 adaptor and the app Carista to make these changes on my own car. I changed the blinker volume to High.
You can change any LPS setting that a Lexus tech can change with a Techstream computer. Pretty impressive.

CARISTA is really useful and not only for flasher. Have a try.

Where did the term "lane change flasher" come from? Even Carista calls it the turn signal.

Default Lane Change Flasher Vilume

Thank you for the input using the cable and app option. Is there a button/key sequence that you know of to change flasher Volume like other settings Inoted earlier? I have found them for other dealer only changeable settings like # if flashes on lane change. I only have this one last dealer only item I want to change and spending money for a one tiime change is hard to justify.

FYI - The lane change flasher Volume comes straight out of the 2014 RC Ower's manual as one of the dealer only changeable settings list.

There isn’t one.

Default Can I do this on a 2003 sc430

I have techstream and I can’t find any options to change volume or number of lane change flashes on a 2003 sc430. Is there any way to do this in software? Has anybody done this with hardware? Changing relay or directional indicator or anything? I hate that I always leave my turn signal on after doing lane Changes and with the top down I can’t hear that it’s still on. Even with the top up I can’t hear it!

I did the flash number change on mine with these instructions. Changed mine from 3 to 5.
Don't know how to kick up the volume though.

Default Can’t hear the blinker

None of this seems to work on my old 2003 sc430

Aside from Carista app, you can also use TechStream. This is a must-have tool for every DIYer.

ETSKI: I had an older SC430 (first year, which I think was 02 or 03), and it had only a few changes that could be made to customize features. There is a page online that has the list of things like door locking that can be changed, but I no longer have a copy of that, as I gave my file folder to the person who bought my car, and I deleted all the SC430 related files from my computer. I'm pretty sure it was posted on the forum, and perhaps you can find it.

Default Standard customizable options

I have seen that list and it is extremely limited and doesn’t include anything related to the turn signals. I did buy techstream and used it to register after market tpms sensors and that was great, but I have not explored it more than checking for codes and am hesitant to explore much on the theory, if it ain’t broken, don’t fix it. Techstream looks very powerful, but I’m nervous I could break more that I fix unless I have firm guidance that what I desire to fix is actually a customizable option. Not clear that it is for my older model!
