Default Reversing TCS - default to OFF

What can be done to turn the traction control OFF by default? I'll push the button when I want it on.

The only way to permanently turn it off (without some serious tinkering) is to do so with a tuner, but you can't turn it back on with that. You also get a warning on the dash that you have to reset anyways. So rather than pushing the reset button every time, I just turn off the TCS. If you're going to have to push a button anyways, you might as well leave well alone.
