Default Power mode (vsc off)

Is there a setting that forces the car to Power Mode and VSC off as default... so i don't have to push the buttons every time i start the car?

power mode should stay on without any problems. the switch should stay in whatever mode you left it in. i don't think you can set vsc to off by default. it's not in the c-best settings, i just read through them a few days ago. maybe habius or someone with some electrical experience can figure out a hack.

It would be fairly simple to build a delay circuit that "hits" the button after the car has started.

I've tried holding the switch down while starting the car and it doesn't turn the VSC off so, it's not a simple "short the switch" solution...it would have to be something active that ties into both the button and the ignition.

But it could be done.

Hay! I made a automatic snow mode unit that active after engine started
You can use it for automatic TRC and or VSC canceler.

Please check following thread.
https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sc-...mode-unit.html
And see my weblog
http://minkara.carview.co.jp/userid/...blog/15978087/
http://uzz40.asablo.jp/blog/cat/snow/

I produced this unit by customize of one shot unit that is provided form EMON japan.
UNIT URL of EMON japan
http://www.amon.jp/products/detail.php?product_id=16

I ordered customize it for that stand by 10sec then on 0.5sec* as well as pushing switch.

*Case1= On 0.5sec make only TRC cancel.
*Case2= On 4sec make TRC and VSC cancel.

Total about $60

Then I had connected the unit to original electric wire bellow snow(vsc) switch.

You can do it! like this way!

Would it be possible to replace the VSC/TRAC button (momentary switch, I think?) with two on/off rocker switches?
