For instance, if I shut the car ignition off in sport mode, and pasm in comfort mode, will the car restart in sport/comfort or sport/sport?

My ideal setting is sport/comfort. Hope this is the option to remain in last setting.

Csn anyone chime in who has the tdesign module? Vlad didn't know for certain. Tks.
I don't have the comfort option, but I do have sport mode and I leave it on all the time. Occasionally I will crank the car and its off( happened this morning for the first time in a long while) but mostly it works as advertised, sport mode is on every time.

I don't know one way or the other on this vendor, but sometimes vendors who have limited product offerings find that the fees associated with being an official vendor aren't justified by the sales numbers so they no longer keep paying vendor sponsorship money and use eBay or some other marketing channel.

Ok, I checked. If you engage Sport mode while the ignition is running, it will automatically change the suspension mode to Sport, also.

The T-Design box mimics key presses and remembers what was last set. It replays the Auto Start/Stop button engage/disenage, along with Sport mode. When you restart the module waits a second or two and re-sends the Sport and Auto Stop/Start button presses.

This has the side-effect of triggering the vehicle's own change of the suspension setting to Sport mode.

I suspect if the module code was changed to replay the last known suspension setting AFTER the Sport button it would work. But right now, as it's installed in mine, it does not. The vehicle overrides the suspension setting on it's own when Sport is engaged.

Stop/start, however, remains tracked properly and that was the entire reason I bought it.

I'd forgotten how twitchy Sport mode makes the accelerator. It's got a MUCH shorter engagement curve when in Sport mode.

I don't know about in the 958, but in the 957 TTS, the PSM Off button is like an additional Sport mode button or a SuperSport mode button. It does way more than just turn off the traction control - it puts the car into full beast mode - it's crazy. If you've never tried it, you should. Holds the revs longer even when in full automatic mode, car seems to make more power, downshifts for turns earlier, etc.

I can only use that mode with my son - my wife and/or daughter would freak out.

We are back!
As Bill wkearney99 correctly described, our module just mimics button presses. All the other logic that particular button press causes - will happen as usual.

Oh, and memory module for the SC **** is coming real soon!

Welcome back Vlad,

Can I assume by this post you're talking with the sponsor guys about becoming a vendor again? Otherwise... well, gotta be a sponsor to post stuff like this for sale.

I liked the idea of this.. Until I saw the price.

Cool idea all the same though.

It's a one-off kind of product that has to be tailored for each model that comes out. It ain't gonna be cheap, unfortunately.

But it is still the cheapest mod for our cars! Compare to the price of simple aftermarket exhaust. Or ANY of the 911 factory options...

I agree. I am sure the Price: $229 is justified. I'll just press the button. $229 will go towards a single malt and cuban sticks.

But all the profit would go towards scotch and cigars anyway! ')))
