retrofit 2016/17 traction control to older models? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

is there a way to get the less intrusive traction control from the newer models and put it in the older models? sorry I have no idea how this works? isnt it a matter of just reflashing whatever chip runs the traction control?

jack the radiator cap up and drive a new car under it.

Why? Just do the pedal dance if you want the nannies off.

I wondered if you could re-flash the ECU/TCU to get the new settings.

My tune on my 2015 has it turned down. Comes on later and not as harsh, so can be done with ecutek.
