even if you turn the trac off, the beep still comes on? I didn't know that, and I have tried. I guess I never hear it because of the stereo. :D

Trac is seperate from vsc. The vsc still remains active even if the trac is turned off.

Heck. . . there might be a way to disable it completely if you wanted to. . . maybe by killing a fuse or something. I dunno, I have neither VSC nor TRAC.

Look up some posts but LEED , he posted in the driving techniques area about disabling the vsc. The light Blinks first and if you continue to lose traction and or drive crazily the car will start to beep at you.

my light comes on all the time but i have never heard a beep ..... and yes purposely try to make the light come on lol and as for disableing it i dont know that that would be a good idea seeing as when i had a problem with it (i actually shorted out out the computer and disabled the vsc and trac control but the problem with that is the computer then limits your engine to no more than 3000 rpm ... meaning you cant rev higher than that ... now i dont know if thats what will happen if you pull the fuse or some how disable it but thats what happened to me when i disabled it on mine by accident lol

When disabled "on purpose" you CAN rev higher than 3000 RPM.

YES, THANK YOU! IT IS NOT STOCK WITH XA'S! Kinda like how xB's have tint too, and we don't. We get cargo covers stock, and a glowing "ez bake oven," but you guys get seats that recline completely flat (even though there is enough room to clear the rear seats, we don't get that feature)!
