Nice work.

Current operation?
* 12v Power Applied
* Module waits for a preset timeout period
* Module simulates button press for TC off, simulates five second button hold for SC off


You may be able to modify the programming as so...
* 12v power applied
* module immediately checks for button being held
* If held it checks non-volatile memory and toggles between one of three defaults: Auto TC Off / Auto TC+SC Off / Leave TC+SC On
* Module waits for a preset timeout period
* Module simulates button press according to the default; whether TC Off (single press), TC+SC Off (hold for five seconds), leave TC+SC on (no button presses simulated).

So in a nutshell, to change the default, one would hold the button for at least a full second (or two) after ignition on.

(note: SM = Sport Mode = SC = Stability Control ; TC = Traction Control)
Thanks for the suggestion!

Sold a couple more of these, bump!

BTW:
In case it has not been mentioned.

You don't need to wait for this to work.
If you need to jump into your car and go.
The Auto Switch will work while you are in motion (just as the ESC button does).

So for a 2015 it sets it for sport mode only ?
You have a choice, you can buy one that defaults to sport mode or one that defaults to traction control off (Option #1 or Option #2 in the original post).

That's what mine does (so theres no confusion, I made my own), comes in handy on race day to be able to switch between sport and stability off

I know what you meant, but it may confuse some others.

There's only Traction Control and Stability Control.
Another name for Stability Control is "Sport Mode".
I believe Stability Control cannot be deactivated without deactivating Traction Control.

I think you have (un-intentionally) added more confusion.

This line is not correct.
"Another name for Stability Control is "Sport Mode"."

Electronic Stability Control is Electronic Stability Control.
Sport Mode is Sport Mode.

ESC Modes ARE (from FiST Supplement).

NORMAL
All driver aids engaged,

SPORT
Thresholds altered on traction control and electronic stability control to allow more tire spin and vehicle slip

ESC OFF
Traction control and electronic stability control are disabled.


Personally I see no reason for the Sport Mode at all.
If under adverse conditions, one quick button push and all driver aids engaged again.

Just sold a few more. Still have ~10 in stock in different configurations. Price lowered to $65 shipped. Sync 2 TC-off modules should be done end of next week.
