Do Any of Piggybacks Allow Mods To Stability Control?

I've never installed a piggyback tune, or any tune for that matter. Do they have the ability to adjust stability or traction control settings, or is this handled separately through a body control module or ABS module? If handled by a different module, are any opportunities available there?

I'm disappointed in the car being electronically castrated. Any wheelspin with everything 'disabled' still engages traction control.

Are you simply pressing the traction button once to disable it? Or are you holding it down until it beeps a second time?

And no, piggybacks can't disable traction to any other extent. At this point, neither can an ECU tune.

Disabling everything, as in: holding it down long enough for everything to be disabled. Notwithstanding, it isn't fully disabled :-(.

Doubt piggy backs can control traction and stability control. And yes nannies never go away fully even when you totally disable TC. Throttle still lags in some scenarios.
 
U have to hold it down for about 5 secs then release and hold it down again to completely disable it
 
From interior to exterior to high performance - everything you need for your Stinger awaits you...

That doesn't completely disable it. It only says so on the instrument cluster. The nannies still kick in.

right, and that doesn't fully disable it. I can engage launch control but if I try to whip the tail end around with everything off, you'll get throttle cut. It's weird that some Stingers seem to be able to turn it off completely and others can't. There's a video of one on here doing donuts with everything off and I'm sure we all saw videos of the Stingers drifting prelaunch, clearly they had everything off.

This is something I think Kia needs to be contacted on.

I'm actually going to make a new post on this and put up a poll, everyone please vote.

I think if you pull the brake switch fuse it will completely turn everything off, but then you don't have brake lights :D
If you could wire a toggle switch up to that it would 'fix' the problem

in the thread I made I linked the donut video, he still has brake lights so I don't think he pulled the brake switch fuse
