it will ALWAYS come back on after you restart the car.....Right? And how do you know if it is off or not? ALSO when doing the quarter mile is it possible that it will prevent the wheel from spinning and therefor lowering or rather raising your time?

Hey guys, so after you turn off the VDIM with the foot dance it will ALWAYS come back on after you restart the car.....Right? And how do you know if it is off or not? ALSO when doing the quarter mile is it possible that it will prevent the wheel from spinning and therefor lowering or rather raising your time?

Yes VDIM comes back on each time you start the car. You can tell it's off when the car with squiggly tire track lines icon comes on on the dash. Of course you get wheelspin with VDIM off. You'll probably get a better launch that way, but everyone has their own preferences.

Ok so one more question
when VDIM is off does traction control go off with it?

07 GS and IS 350s models will have a VDIM off switch

I tried it in an empty parking lot, just once so I knew I could.
