pp e-diff
« on: 25 March 2018, 12:30 »
Have been watching this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3xlZ6gghqGY. What is the difference between this, and using sports setting for the diff in the individual mode setting?
Old, but a serial modder!

The drive profile setting is definitely not the same thing as the setting accessed from an OBD tool. While I don't know what differentiates the two technically, I believe the latter ramps up the entire effectiveness of the e-diff, regardless of what setting you choose via the drive profile screen. And I know setting the e-diff to "Increased Traction" via OBD has noticeably improved cornering under throttle. A well recommended change without any downsides.

Has there been any "official" confirmation of this yet? I know people have assumed the CSS is set to "increased traction" as standard but I have asked a few CSS owners whether they could do a quick check and they haven't bothered replying so still waiting for a solid piece of info.
