Default Auto sport mode / Auto Traction off module

Has anyone messed with the idea of having a module for automatically setting the car in sport or trac/vsc off or both on startup? Basically the module remembers your settings when you shut off the car. So if you had sport mode on and trac/vdc off next time you turn on the car it would automatically set itself the way you left if before you turned it off. This would be useful at the track when turning your car on and off between runs or if you just want your car to remember your settings. Since they are two separate systems it would require two separate modules. I think I might know someone who can do this but I'm wondering if anyone else would be interested in such a system for their cars?

Mods: I'm not selling anything I'm just seeing if others would be interested in such a thing if its possible.

I would definitely be interested in something like this. I do turn sport mode on every time I get into the car. But since pressing the button isn't too big a hardship, the price of the modules would have to be relatively reasonable...

I found a place that already does something like this:
http://www.kptechnologies.com/products.php#/4

the universal traction control module $40 should work fine with the sport mode button, but for if you want the feature on the traction button then it would have to be the flexible memory module $50 as that one also will replicate the 3 second hold to disable VSC.

Ah - very interesting. I would have hoped for more of a plug-n-play solution, but this would work as well. Not sure if it's worth the trouble for me to wire up...

Are you going to install it?
