Retrofit Sport button

[Sam3773]

Afternoon all,

After some browsing around last night, I found that a sport button could be retrofitted providing the cable was present. I had a feel around under the tray and pulled this thing out:



So my question for any that have done this, is it simply a case of buying the part for the button, drilling the hole, plugging it in and away you go?

Any tips/hints from those who have done it are greatly received. It's a 2004 2.2i if that makes a difference.

Cheers!

This is a new one on me - intrigued to hear the responses :?

Haha, perhaps I should add the question "Is it actually worth doing?" to the mix.

Not really! If you want heavier steering that can be coded. I find the throttle map with sport on is horrible.

Recently I have been driving without using the Sport button. This was prompted by a discussion with Steve84n; previously I had Sport mode on all the time but I'm pleasantly surprised at how I'm enjoying the driving experience without it

Definitely not. It's only worthwhile on the auto.

Thanks all.

The steering is the only reason I wanted it, so if that can be coded rather than drilling my dash then I am all for that option!

Edit: I do have the manual. If I had an auto, this would be a no brainer for me.

I've got that plug and a red one, but have the sport button? Dies anyone know what they are for??

One could be for the airbag shut off?
