All you need is wire and a rocker switch.
The way i have mine set-up is. I have the switch in the center console by the brake.
Connect one side of the rocker switch to any metal part in car for ground. Connect the other side of the switch to the parking brake switch wire in the center console.
When you turn the switch on it grounds the circuit. Making the car think the parking brake is on. This also turns off the Traction control.

Or you can pull the ebrake up just a little and and the traction control turns off. And its not enough to trigger the ebrake handle message.

If it don't trigger the message the traction control is still on. If pull it up it must be at the first click.

DO NOT rev it in neutral and shift into a different gear!!! You will **** up your transmission really quick. When traction control is off the little light will come on.

If the ebrake light is on. That also turns off the traction. My 2010 Has a yellow traction light that also comes on when the brake is on.

If you put it in first it should automatically turn traction control off.

If it's an orange colored light with a tire that's the traction control light. Among others.

No neutral drops!!! only on rental cars...

Put your car in L or 1 and you just have to balance your RPMs so it doesnt shift (keep high revs in first)
