Default How do you keep TCS off?

I always turn the TCS off when I start the mustang, unless it's raining or something.

Is there a way to make it so the TCS button is always set to off when I start the car?
(So that I would have to hit it to get the TCS to turn on)

And for that matter, is there a way to turn off the seatbelt warning?

Thanks.

Don't know about the seatbelt warning, but you can trick it by plugging in a seat belt extender, but don't know anyone that would want to.

you CAN turn off the seatbelt reminder, check the manual.

I am also curious about the TCS...

+1. The seatbelt thing is in the manual, just need to read it. it takes about 3 minutes to do. (including the reading)

Some sct tuners allow you to turn off traction control when loading a custom tune. The one I have from brenspeed did not. You would think someone would have figured out how to reverse the default to off by now.

Yeah you would think with all the software controlling the car you could just switch the parameters around on start up.

but in order to turn it back on you need your tuner right? I want it to work with the button, but the opposite as it is now... default is off. I know it is just a simple button press, but it be nice to not have to do it... OP agree?

I had Evolution Performance turn my tcs default to Off. But then I wasn't able to turn it back on ever. So I had him email me the tunes with it back ON, and now when I feel like racing or whatever I just hit the button. But I do understand where your coming from. From what I know the sct2 does not allow you to do this, but the predator does. Again not sure if the predator will let u hit the button to turn it back on or you just have to reset it back to on with the predator again.
