M6 SMG startup setting

Is there anyway to not have the car always revert to S3 and P400 in startup? It drives me crazy every time I get into the car and have turn every on and put in S5.

Nope, we're all on the same boat.

Search box is your friend.

Edit: Perhaps some of the genius coding guys could do it???

JR, if you ever choose to get a tune, you can have the default Sx, whatever level you desire. It's actually part of the tune firmware. I have mine set to S4 each time I fire it up in auto mode. M mode of course allows this via the iDrive option.

It is not something you can do with basic NCSExpert coding SW. It can be done DIY, but it is more for the advanced coder

Most, if not all of our advertised tuners will add this to their tuning package.

Regards

Awesome. Thanks guys.

I guess the best bet for now until I get it tuned is to just set the M button up to my preferred driving settings. S5, P500 Sport, EDC Normal and DSC on.
