Default 2 C5 questions? help

does any body know how to turn tc off and keep it off? I know on an f body you can remove the radio and unplug it behind there. Is there a reverse module I could buy to keep it off until i turn it on? I have trouble rembering to shut it off at times.

It was LAPTRACKS (SP?)

There isnt any way in a C5 other than turing it off or going into COMP MODE or disabling the entire EBTCM by removing the fuses.

It is auto-on for a reason.
As previously stated...to keep people from getting hurt or hurting others.

Many threads on this here.....Leave it alone is always the best bet.
