Bossdog,
Glad to hear you finally got the track mode enabled. I enabled mine back in 2014 and have been enjoying this extra mode ever since. The car should have come from the factory this way. I was amazed at the difference it made as an in between mode. Some people feel they don't need this mode and just turn all everything off, but this mode can really save you, especially until you get to know the track/road grip conditions. I'm curious what you think about it once you autocross. It might be too intrusive on really sharp turns.
Remotely coding seems kinda scary to me. I wonder what would have happened if there was some kind of internet communications failure in the middle of writing the new code to the module. I'm not sure if the module can be bricked this way.
