But you didn't fit it to your 3.0?
3.0 zed has a sport button, no need for an after market add on :thumbsup:

This.


However unlike the sport button, the sprint boost remembers the previous setting and stays on next time you start the car. Wish this was a feature of the standard sport button. First thing I do every time I drive the zed is hit the sport button.

Well form member srhutch can make up the section of wiring you need for cruise control - he might be able to do the MFSW as well. :thumbsup:

I think it's plug and play, but your best bet would be to PM "srhutch" and he'll be able to give you full details.

Just so you know - due to popular demand (mainly by people inboxing me after seeing some of my other projects) - I will soon be selling a plug and play module that can a) Activate sports mode straight away, button works as normal b) force sports mode (if desired), but works, but turning off sports mode via button will simply result in my module turning it back on c) remember state - my module will remember if sports mode was on or off and then either turn it back on next time or not, as the case may be

I posted on FB, but not got around to making a forum post yet, was finalising some code and pcb details before I make the post
NO LONGER OWN A Z4 SO NOT AS ACTIVE HERE ANYMORE (IF AT ALL).
