Can SDS default traction control to OFF?

Has anyone used Star to set the traction control off as a default instead of having to turn it off?

Pretty ballsy to wanna always drive with no ESP on. My car scares me with ESP on, off is only for fun in an empty parking lot n

Might be possible...

With some Mercedes-Benz vehicles, it was possible to accidentally leave the car in dyno mode which effectively means the car has traction control off.

But why in the world would you want to do this? It's dangerous. Be safe and a responsible member to the rest of society please!

Not talking about dyno mode... even with the traction control off there is some control still there. Dyno mode gets rid of ABS as well I believe... that is dangerous.
Just because the traction control is off doesn't mean you will be driving like that all the time. I have driven many high horsepower cars and don't feel the need for it to be on all the time unless the roads are wet or slick. Just wondering if it's possible, doesn't mean I drive irresponsibly or want to burn through tires constantly.

Dyno mode is quicker and easier to turn off all the traction control and antilock brake safety features.

We can always use another donor car here.
