The video from trippinbillies was helpful, and I know Chris is an excellent driver, as I drove with him regularly when he lived here. I trust his opinion. If I'm competing in a 17+ car I'd still do the pedal dance, but until reaching that level, it probably just doesn't really matter all that much. Thanks again.


IIRC, 17+ don't need the pedal dance. You just hold the correct button, and achieve the same effect.

Please cite a source for this, i can't find anything corroborating that. all I can find is that pedal dance works the same on 17+ as previous years.

Is the EBD interference still active? With the older cars on the long press it has e-diff and EBD interference. Need to trail brake the car into a fast corner to tell if it is acting up.

The EBD is the brake LSD in the pic above. To answer the question, no.


Edit: Unless you have an AT. Then it is still on.

I notice brake LSD comes on when I hit a curb and get a wheel airborne. The sensation I am talking about is trail braking and having it dump a bunch of bias to the rear.

I run a trac box now so I just run pedal dance at the flick of the switch. I am just curious if the long press on the 17+ does this too.

It would appear that I may be mistaken then. I'm going to have to follow that up with a resounding I don't know right now. I'll try to find an answer, if I can.

Thanks

If anyone could confirm this I would appreciate it. I know a few people that would be interested in swapping over to this setup as opposed to doing a trac box. Seems like a good intermediate option.

Wow, Thanks for the wonderful DIY guide. I'm really interested in doing this mod now. Couple of questions about the cluster's lights. What light would turn on when hill assist is activated? For the Track mode, I would assume the VSC Sport light would go on?

The 2013-2016 cluster does not have a light for hill start. You’d have to test the hill start on a hill after activating it to confirm that it’s working. Or you can retrofit a facelift cluster, but that’s probably not worth it for just the hill start light.

Track mode lights up the same as the old VSC Sport mode.

Just curious: when you pull the pins for 8 and 9, were there wires connected to those pins originally, or were they just empty? If there were wires there, do you just tape them to the side, unused?

Thanks for this! Just ordered my newer VSC module from @417motoringparts

No wires present, just a rubber plug in the hole.

I got mine from 417motoring too. They're good, they sent it to me twice cause Fedex is useless and sent it back to them.
