Any way to stay in S/S+? Yes, I've searched.

Sorry, pretty sure this has been discussed a lot, but I have tried to search and I guess I'm not thinking of the right terms.

My 08 and 09 would stay in sport after restarting the car, my new (to me) 12 will not. Any hacks for this?

No there is no way to keep it in S/S+ speaking with AMG development at Laguna Seca last year and they specifically told us that it is by design. They don't want you pushing that engine until it's had time to get properly oiled and engine parts warmed up.

No hack, tune, etc will make it stay. You could always put a S- sticker over the C part lol.

What a drag. What C SEXY 3 says makes sense, but yet once you are warmed up....it could at least stay there for a couple hours. I am in and out of my car all day.
Guess I'll have to go with INS1GNIA's idea. We may have to market that. I mean, we'll pay $200 for a red button, so that sticker HAS TO be worth $50, amirite?

Only if it says "AMG". Otherwise, it's a $.10 part on ebay.
