I would stress I only want to code this for when I am out on a track day.

I have the coding to be able to set to sport mode or disable but i have to do this everytime i restart the engine which is very annoying.

Does anybody know if its possible to code the ESC function off and then re enable it when I go back on the normal roads.

With the means we have at our disposal, it is not possible to deactivate the ESC completely. Even if the system says it is deactivated, the ESC still intervenes.

Sorry fully understand that and I was not clear on what I am trying to do.

Currently i have three options in the MMI, Enabled, ESC Sport or ESC Disabled (allowing for the fact its not fully disabled)

The coding i am after is one that allows me at the start of a track day to set it to ESC Disabled and then turn it back on when I drive home.

Or I suspect its one of those features that returns to pre defined option every time I turn engine off.
