Variable assist power steering settings?

There were multiple settings on my VW with variable assist power steering. You could set it via a connection to the ECU either at the dealer or with VAG-COM software on your home PC.

Is there a way for us or the dealer to do something like this on our FJ's?

I'm looking to reduce the amount of assist.

Never heard of anything like this for the FJ.
