Hmm I don't remember seeing Sport+ option but can have another look. But Toyota only calibrated for Normal/Sport so doubt it will change anything.

It simply alters traction control in addition to sport mode changes.

From my BMW experience, Sport + changes the traction to dynamic traction control (allows more wheel slip before intervention) as the only difference. The equivalent of that in the supra would be going into sport mode and then pressing the traction button once.

edit: Sport+ also turns on the same traction control symbol on the dash that you get with pressing the traction button on the Supra. I drive my 4 series in Sport+ 100% of the time, its a habit of mine to start the car and then press sport twice.

This has been my experience too with past BMW ownership. There is no need to code for this as you can manipulate the Sport Mode and Traction buttons to give you the same effect.

Seeing this video from Japan for how to use BimmerCode to enable SportPlus.

I have Sport plus on my M240i. Disables the traction control as described above. I typically drive that B58 I Sport all of the time. Because my Supra isn’t past its break-in period, I keep in in “old man in the left lane with left blinker on” mode for now.

Can you translate it? What does it do different?
I can’t speak Japanese but use the translation feature in Youtube. For me, i feel no difference. But there’re folks claim it’s huge difference tho.

For some of us just having a 3rd mode to quick swap is worth it..

Ideally, the better way for Toyota to do it is to have two quick access buttons for your settings. On the M cars, BMW gives you two M Buttons.

So you can set them to your desired pre-determined settings. For example, M1 was for aggressive driving and M2 would be for your track setup. Makes changing your settings super easy and all done on the fly even while driving. If someone could program that for the Supra then I would be highly interested in it.

Ok I coded it but I don't think Supra is setup for it. The traction control light should turn on in Sport Plus since its in "traction mode" but it doesn't. So I coded it back to stock. I did eliminate the stability control popup though. Posted in other Coding thread.
