Default right here:

sport changes the shift pattern to be firmer, while "red line" allows gears to be held longer (ex in my case till about 6900 rpm)...doing the recode are you? id go 3...but that also disabled my "kickdown" button

NO NO NO -don't change the workshop code. Change only the "software coding" to 00032.

Default Workshop code tells the dealer who worked on your car - each dealer has a code. 00000 is the

default. You don't want to let the dealer know you've been poking around in there....

Then again, if you are off warranty and not going to take it to the dealer, fire away and use any number you want!!
