GBMini's circuit & modification
Anyone know how easy it would be to mod the GBMini circuit to have the auto-disable DCS and such hooked up to a jumper or toggle or something.
I know it's not too difficult to toggle the automatic feature on and off but I think something like a jumper that could be rigged to a switch would be a little bit more elegant solution. That way I could install the circuit and rig a little switch under the toggle bank to enable/disable the functionality. (you know, something really inconspicuous and out of the way).

I'm not really sure what you're asking. If you want to turn off the track mode function, hold your unlock button up for at least 5 seconds, then while still holding it up, press your DSC toggle down.
If just want to turn DSC on (say, if it's raining), hit your DSC toggle once in either direction.

Either way, have you tried asking the question to the source of the GBMini circuit... himself?

Thanks to my friend Josh, I can now answer this ...
(yes I am on NAM, but as mdsbrain said, I don't see every post so a question direct might be best ... plus I have been away since Friday).
If I understand correctly, your best option CmdrVimes would be to cut the signal on the MINI circuit board which causes "track mode DSC" to occur. You could then wire an on/off switch to re-make / break that signal.
If you contact me direct (GBMINI@MINIsOnTop.com) I can give you details of exactly where to cut the track if you wish to go that way - then you need to have the soldering skills to add two wires to the circuit board, and take them to the switch that you install elsewhere.
