Anyone know or want to try to see if this kit will work for the GX? I know it works for the US LC's per their forum

That would be great! It’s a huge annoyance to have to turn that feature on every time you start the vehicle. We have a few vehicles with this feature (which stays in the last setting it was put in) and I always have to think about which one I’m driving, so I don’t accidentally coast into the vehicle in front of me at a stop light!

Got this and finally got a chance to install...Difficulty is a 3/10. Most of it was working with the trim pieces on the center console and around the steering wheel in my work's dark subterranean garage. The "leather" trim around my shifter was loose around the 4WD selector buttons and I had to tuck it back in while reinstalling it. Comes in with factory plug in harnesses so it's completely plug and play and reversible. PM if you need help

Other than the trim removal/install, the install dissimilar to the the LC250. Activates after you turn on the car and put on your seatbelt. Not for everyone, but now I can drive the GX like I do the rest of my cars without having to press a button everytime

Steering wheel

• You have to pull the top panel of the steering column off (behind the camera and in front of the Dash display), pull upward. it stays connected via the vinyl "curtain" material. Just move it out of the way
• There are 3 phillips head screws you have to remove from the covers. 2 behind the steering wheel (have to turn the steering wheel to access) and one on the bottom side.
• Separate the upper and lower portions (there are clips you can access from the top after removing the top panel). You'll have to slide the lower portion over the Steering column knob on the left side.
• The plug you need to access is the white one on the underside of the steering column.

Shifter console

• You have to pull the panel at your right knee straight out towards the drivers side door.
• The shifter console is 2 pieces and is clipped in. 1 piece for the "leather" trim and 1 for the Shifter assembly. I just popped up both one at a time(pull straight up). I only popped them up enough to access the needed plug
• You are looking for the black plug underneath the Electronic parking brake and the Brake hold button.
• The release button for the clip faces the passenger side. install the harness and tuck away. run the yellow cable towards the front of the car
• nows a good time to connected the yellow wires together and see if it works.
• Start GX, Close driver door and insert seat belt. "HOLD" should be automatically pop up on your dash.

- if everything is looking good, run the yellow cable behind panels toward the steering wheel, I pulled out the Tow brake controller (pull straight out towards the rear) to have more room to work in. Fish the yellow cable through, zip tie as needed and have a beer.

Reinstall in the reverse order

- Not sure if this was just on mine, but the leather trim panel around the shifter had loose edges (the edges were not glued down) around where the 4WD switches are. I had to use a small pry tool to tuck them in around the buttons while reinstalling the trim. This part was the hardest of the install. You have to reinstall the leather trim section by section while using a tool to tuck in the excess material around any buttons while pushing down
