[Lexus] Override Drive + GPS Coordinates (hacks)

[AyoobAli]

hey everyone,

Here is how get the GPS coordinates and some system check information.
Steps:
1. Turnoff the headlights.
2. Press and hold "INFO"
3. while pressing it, turn the lights on and off three times (Not Auto).
Then you will see the system checkup screen. Click on the "Back" button at the top right, then select "Navigation Check", then "GPS Information".
At the lower right corner you will find the GPS Coordinates.

For this I don't know a simple way to go back to the normal system, you will have to Turn the vehicle off then on.
Some people say you can go back by press and hold the display button for 5 seconds, but it didn't work with me.

((NOTE: DON'T CLICK ON "MEMORY CLR" BUTTON))

This is working with Lexus LX470 - 2002. and Lexus ES - 2010.
It must work with the other models but I didn't try it, and I must work even for the LandCruiser.

I believe it will work, if it didn't work try after pressing the menu button, instead of going to system options, click on "DVD" if you have it.

Now please tell us how to turn of the traction control on the LEXUS GS, LS, IS

On my LX470 I remove the fuse. Its three fuses, will disable the traction & ABS system.


Saleh,, nice know those secrets
