That would be the Lexus LS460 in the US. And the S-class i heard is planning it as well (if not already active)

When i got my SLK form the lexus dealer he was telling me about the system. Not controled from the FOB, but none the less it parks for you, just stop near the spot and it calculates the size of the spot and does all the rest, steering, and reverse... At least thats what he said.

Here is a clip with the Prius: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qXoLUfYpjeg
I can do it in 1/2 of the time and 3/4 of the space

You have to manually line up the markings with the spot so it knows where you're going. Also the system doesn't fully brake the car, so you must do that as well.

What is lexus' problems with braking automatically? They WANT a law suit!

The guys at the local shops offered to work on my car for over $1k just for the LCD setup. I smiled, thanked them for the info, and did mine for half.

I guess i can offer any help to everyone in the NY/NJ area with this stuff. More then welcome to help install whatever you can imagine

Can you see about finding me a VKM from Peicha for under $300? I wonder about the Conexx-Electronics.de one. It seems to have some differences, but is Peicha the best?

You have to get the Conexx one marked SPEED at the end to get the roof open and close of the peicha.

One thing it says that peicha doesn't. If you go over speed it will stop the roof proceedure but will resume if you go under in 30 seconds.
