It may seem like a non issue for some. But if I’m going to switch to sport mode, it like it to be one button. No knob to turn.
Has anyone tried to do this?
Or maybe the order of modes can be changed so that SPORT is first? So just one notch turn? Maybe via forescan?

Jesus…is it that hard to turn a knob 3 clicks to the right? You don’t even have to look at it.

One button press or three clicks of the knob? Who said it was hard? For someone with a lot of contributions to the forum, your attitude sure sucks.

How about a button to automatically put it in Drive? Sucks to have to turn that knob three clicks. :rolleyes:

How about a “no D-bag comments” button on the bottom of my thread.. Probably too much to ask

Come on, it's just in fun. If you can't take a bit of stick on a public forum, you should reconsider what you post!

For all that Unbroken contributes here your statement really sucks.

Contributions don’t equate to manners or people skills.

I don’t like turning a knob 3 clicks to the right so I’m gonna drill a hole in my dash and install a random button to turn on my Sport mode…after I figure out how to recode the whole computer system to make it work.
My attitude doesn’t suck nearly as bad as that idea. lol

Be nice if the Auto Stop Eliminator would remember your last driving mode.

Or even last mode selected before shutdown. It probably wouldn’t be that difficult to make sport the 1st mode either.

Someone that will call a spade a spade and a weird idea weird? Otherwise the thin skinned folks with weird ideas would take over.

Here’s an idea. Let your social skills catch up to your ST knowledge.

I dunno @UNBROKEN, your work is top-notch, your skills evident but it's pretty ballsy to think only your ideas have merit.
