The traction control software is already present in the engine management computer. What you need is a TCS switch for the dash, new wires, and a new ABS system. The standard ABS system can reduce braking force but for TCS it also must have the ability to apply braking force on the front wheels individually. The margin cost of using the more expensive ABS system during manufacture may not be that great (as indicated by the 200UKP cost), but as a retrofit it is probably very expensive. -- G–ran Larsson hoh AT approve DOT se
