W164 Traction Control

An anybody tell me how to disable the traction control totally?

Through some wining roads, I turned ESP off, and it still cut in when pushing the car to the limit.

I up the car in Dyno mode, but the unfortunate thing about Dyno mode, is there is no power steering assistance, so it makes it virtually impossible to drive while in Dyno mode.

Does anyone have the answer, on how to totally disable this ESP system?

Thanks

I dont believe there is, unless you go dyno mode, which as you have pointed out, is totally impractical for the road

Well a Mb tech did it in Tiff Needel video about the w164 ml63 so It's definitely feasible

Yeah I saw that vid on YouTube.

For sure it can be done, just not the general public.

Thought I would ask anyway!

I've often wondered the same thing. Hopefully somebody chimes in with some experience. Not sure why it's such a closely held secret!
