Default Could you please tell me more about this switch?

I have an 01 Tip S4 and I also hate how it shifts down. Is there really a way to make this stop?

Default Because...

it can be extremely annoying to pick a gear then floor it and it shifts down. When I pick a gear I want the car to stay in that gear and not shift down.

Yes. It has been a while since I asked this, hut the question still stands. Like Sl!p, I want to be able to use full throttle without the tip kicking down.

Anyone? Uwe?

OK. I'll ask one more time...

I can't believe more people don't want to do this. In stock form it is impossible to use full throttle without an unwanted downshift (even in tip-mode).

I don't want to disconnect the FT switch as recommended above, as it might control other functions as well. I just want to disable this annoying function.

Someone please find a way to do this. I want it for my Avant and for my TT with DSG.
