Vdc

I searched "VDC" and found zero matches, so I am sorry to repeat what must have been mentioned before. Does anybody like the VDC feature? Why should I? Am I

Default Vdc

I searched "VDC" and found zero matches, so I am sorry to repeat what must have been mentioned before.

Does anybody like the VDC feature? Why should I? Am I missing something? Is it possible to turn it off like the synchro rev, and have it stay off?
Thank you.

Oddly enough, me too. However, you can't imagine how many "VDC" threads we've had in the past.

Lots of people "like" it. Everyone *should* like it, because there are situations that all but require it (rainy conditions). Whether or not you find yourself in situations where it is useful will probably have a large impact on your opinion of this feature.

I believe there is a fuse that you can remove to ensure VDC is permanently disabled. I don't think anyone on this forum would recommend that, however, unless the car never leaves a track environment.

The Search function does not work for words of three letters or less.

Anyway, to answer your question, you can buy a computer part will keep it off all the time unless you turn it on. If we were able to search 3-letter words, I could probably find it for you pretty quick. But since we can't ...

Don't encourage such behavior unless you have other ulterior motives?
