I shall whatsapp you shortly. For data privacy etc, you should remove your number from a public facing forumScott Naylor wrote: ↑Thu Jan 25, 2024 1:32 am Hi there,sorry,for some reason I don't have get notications of messages (any more). Please use my mobile number to communicate, far easier!
The last message I recall was your asking me for my address to send out the module and you'd have to successfully made up, and the cost is £40 as agreed!
So please advise of bank account detaills so I can pay you and you can kindly send me the lifesaver module, and save me from always having to press 'that button' every time I crank the glorious engine!
My mobile if I didn't know give it to you now before is xxxxx xxxxxx.
Thanks again, and await your response WhatsApp message if that's OK alright. I also use Signal if you want to prefer, they're both encrypted the same!
Cheers.
Scott

Sports Mode ON at startup Mod (2024 update)
Quick Update: I remember now why I didn't like making these plug & play!
104 wires cut to length,
208 wire ends stripped,
80 terminals crimped,
8 Sets of M/F plugs put together (8 x pairs, so 16 plugs total),
96 components hand soldered,
104 wires hand soldered,
6 sticks of hot glue (to cover some of the sharp pins that were too short to flush cut),
8 heat shrink cuts / wraps
About 30 hours build time total, then 4 hours burning bootloaders, flashing code and then testing (45 mins ish per module)
Some what "glad" these are the last ones I'll ever make ha
Thanks again to all those who bought in the past and to those who recently purchased thanks to this threads brief revival 4 years later
Some random pics as I was putting these together
The current batch of 4 sold will be posted FRIDAY and tracking sent to all purchasers
4 left if anyone else would like one

A few have enquired requesting one (some gone awol ha) - but until payment is received & confirmed then they're still available.

Hello! Another random project I've now completed...
Fed up of turning on Sport Mode every time?? Then this mod is for you
The “marmite/pointless” mod is now finished - PCBs fabricated and delivered (I’ve already made one to photo and test)
The bare PCB is barely bigger than a £0.50 pence piece. Completely plug and play, 5mins (if that) to install
Functions:
a) On at startup -> as it implies, this turns the sports button on with the ignition/engine. Button still operates as normal
b) Forced On -> automatically turns on sports mode with ignition/engine. Button is technically useless - if you turn sports mode off it will instantly turn back on
c) Remember state -> This mode remembers the last state of the button. If sports mode was on when you switch off the car, it will automatically turn it back on next time you turn on ignition/start the car. If sports mode was off when turning off the car, it will remain off next time you start the car.
The options above are user selectable via a slide switch. You can change it to best suit your needs or preference.
See my demo video below for more info

UPDATE:

Demo Video:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Personally I think (a) or (b) will be the most commonly used options. I don’t see much point in (c) myself however a few people asked if it could be possible
Will make an installation and demo video at the weekend
Price: £55 delivered in the UK
£50 collected from Cambridge.
International postage would need to be calculated per request.
Note:
This is a "marmite" mod - to some, it's awesome (20+ people asked me to look into this), but for the majority it's lazy and pointless (apparently). However, there clearly is some demand for it. Especially useful for Track Z4s
Please lets not get caught up in "what's the point" discussions, I'm already well aware 85% think it's pointless, but the 15% that asked me about it and want is - here it is
Early demo video: (Proto-type)
Finished PCB design, easy and quick install - plug and play
