Anyone know how to turn traction control fully off?

I've ran into a video on YouTube how to fully turn the traction control off on a RCF/GSF/LC500

Thought to give it a shot but didn't work on my '15 GS350 F Sport RWD (maybe an F only procedure).

Does anyone know how to fully turn the traction control off?

You just have to hold the Traction control button for a couple seconds and it will stay off.

Tried it.
Start. Traction control OFF. Sport+ mode ON. Manual mode ON.

Still shifted automatically at redline. Not sure if the traction control was FULLY off.

That's the basic way. But traction control is only partially off/on that way.

This 6 speed transmission is very sometimey in my opinion, often I can get it bounce off the redline when I actually want it to shift automatically, other times when I want full manual mode the car shifts gears like a true auto slush box.

You might have to ask the dealer if there's a software update for your 6spd trans.
