Reposting from one of my posts in another thread. Info on the auto sport button on mod:
I would start with this thread --> https://www.northamericanmotoring.com...n-comparo.html
Three off-the-shelf options and one DIY (which is the one I did). If you want to pursue the DIY, you can find details in this thread --> https://www.northamericanmotoring.com...utton-mod.html
As you might figure out from the first thread (the comparison), the non-DIY units can do quite a bit more than the simple DIY solution.
Mine was installed on a 2008, so I'm not sure whether there are any major differences on the install for a 2011. iirc, I think I saw that the fuses have changed some in either 2010 or 2011 which has impacted folks trying to hardwire stuff in (like this mod).

Hehe, I can't wait to drive more with Sport on. I drove normally when I test drove (my only drive in my car thus far) the car... but then the guy I was with said "Why don't we try it with Sport Mode on?" He pushed it, and I said, "Whoa!" He replied, and this is a direct quote:
"Yeah, we call it the Jeckyll and Hyde button."
"Yeah, we call it the Jeckyll and Hyde button."
