I'd like to NOT have to turn off the traction control system [TCS] manually everytime I get into the car. Has anyone found a way to make this adjustment in the computer yet? I thought that I'd heard that the effort was underway a while ago, but I hadn't heard if anyone figured that out yet.

Why would you want to do that? T/C does serve a good purpose. Being in SoCal, you know how slick the roads are when it finally rains (unlike this year, you guys got hammered). Snow and rain are really the only times it really helps, though.

I contacted Diablo about a month ago and they said that feature is not available yet

Yes, the SCT Xcal2 gives the option of having the TCS off on startup, but of course, you can still hit the TCS buttun to turn it on.

SCT dyno tuners can take it out of the program,or if you get the "racers package" you can do it yourself. You can't do it with the regular quicktune program.

That's with the original.
With the Xcal Version 2 that just came out a few days ago, (not the original one), you CAN turn the TCS on/off, no extra tuner/program/racer package/chicken bones required.
Look for yourself, its under Other Selections at the bottom:

Does anyone have one and have done it??? Predator lists it as a modifiable parameter as well, but Diablo has not figured it out yet

SCT-Your tuner can turn the TCS off in the XCal and you can turn off the TCS yourself in the XCal II.
