To turn off the traction control, so that it doesn't kick in once you hit 30 MPH, you simply come to a complete stop and hold the button down for about 3-5 seconds. It will also turn the VSC off, but you don't have to worry about it kicking in if you chirp in 2nd gear.

One more time, if you hold it down, while at a complete stop, it will turn the traction control OFF until you recycle the ignition. That means that you can take the car up to 120, shifting through 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, and even reverse if you feel like it, without the traction control kicking in. The car will still beep at you and tell you that you are slipping, but it will NOT engage the traction control system. Claro como lodo?
yeah thats a window switch but it just runs of what rpm your at so it kicks on a 3000 and shuts down at 6 but you still need a switch to when you have reached full throttle and a presure switch wont work as the drive by wire takes a few to get to full throttle
Yes it does stay off in 3rd and 4th! Do a little research. If you hold the VSC button down while you are at a complete stop until you see the VSC light come on, it will turn the traction control off indefinitely until you recycle the ignition. So if you make it a point to turn it off before using, you'll be fine. In fact, here in SLC, before I turn onto a street before leaving a parking lot I turn it off. I also turn it off before I need to take off quickly at a light.

I have always pushed that button when I was at a light and I noticed that the traction control turned off for 2 gears and went back on. Then the other night I held it down and it turned off for the whole ride home.......................
I fell like I unlocked the car fully.......lol.............
Thanks guys..........................
I feel stupid for ready the article and not fully pushing the button down till both lights turn off.
Sorry.....................................

Read a couple of posts above yours. I don't like flaming, but that has got to be the dumbest thing I have seen on the forums.
finally found out how to wire in the window switch but i wont be needing it i think im going turbo so anyone want a window switch never used 70 shipped its a sweet unit i would go 3000 6000 first gear lock out and it has a built in tps sensor so its a pretty easy install will make your juice pretty sweet
