I installed the mini timer from a few posts ago, down by the passenger footwell fusebox, using the instructions on KP Technologies website. The timer I used is $20 shipped from Amazon (see link below). Works like a charm but had to use a cheap relay because the timer is positive activation and the traction control button uses the ground circut.

I installed a second timer to automatically push the dash reset button after 30 seconds so that the "Competition Mode" display disappears.

WORKS PERFECT

Mini Timer Time Delay Relay .2 Sec to 1000 Hours. 12V 5A. Power on or Off Delay, Cycling and More

I'd want competition mode as default because I'd rather burn up some tires than my brakes ..auto eats rear brakes up to control traction.
