VSD weirdness
On my former BMW, pressing the VSD (equiv) button caused the traction to come offline but to retain yaw. The same with my mercedes. The Bimmer, on the other hand - you hold that VSD button down for 5 seconds and it shut of ALL traction, yaw etc, making it a nice manual track car.
So I thunk, what if? And I held the G's button down for a 10 count. Th elight 'VSD OFF' came on, 1 2 .. 9 10 and the light went off. no drama.
Subsequent pushes to the VSD on/off button didn't do anything. What's the deal with this? I had to power cycle the engine before it worked again. Did I just stumble on somwthing useful?
Now onto the mercedes... it had a dyno mode hidden in the ECU. In order to access it, you had to hold the odometer recet button down for 20 seconds while turning the key to ACC or something along those lines. After that, a menu came up on the on screen display in the dash gauges. It allowed you to read voltages, volumes of oil etc and to turn on dyno mode - which is all safeties (except ABS) off line.
Anyone want to spend some time holding random buttons![Big Grin](https://g35driver.com/forums/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)
