PTM Setting Save ? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

2014CamaroZL1 · 06-14-2013, 08:16 PM

Bear with me here, as I don't actually have the car yet.
It will allegedly arrive at the end of next month.

The PTM appears to default back to Mode 2 when you shut off the car.
Is there a way to change the default mode or have it save your last setting ?
Or is there a product that will do this ?

For my Subaru STi, someone produced a small circuit board (Setting Saver)
that would electrically push the buttons for you after start up.
I tried to contact this person, but subsequently learned that he is no longer producing the board.

Thanks.

It's just really annoying to have to do this every time because it won't save the setting.
A sport car should default to a sport mode.
I will keep looking for a go around.

...there is no go around... when you start the car up, the last setting is displayed, then it goes to default. Sorry, it's designed that way.

Something like this:

It just electrically pushes the buttons for you on start up.

On my M5 you set everything how you like it. Then it's a one button operation to bring your settings.
