if you don't have the button you don't have traction control, it would take quite a bit to get it installed, wait for a better explanation, because i don't know the specifics.

you'll end up keeping it turned off. a lot of people that have it get it permantently turned off with a tune. especially if you go F/I. mine almost made me get into an accident in the rain rather than prevent it. tires lost traction just a little bit going around the mall. then it started applying brakes and kept doing it for the next 10 seconds, which was incredibly too long to not have control over your own vehicle.

I hate that stupid traction controll shiz. I had a similar thing as Nanaki mentioned happen to me last week in the tinyest bit of snow. Almost cause an accident because of it, I have seriously thought of getting a tuner just for that reason.
