Where to keep vehicle registration in a VW Golf? by Rich Wales

Passat transmission sport code by phill magnuson
I have a 99 Passat V6 w/ auto transmission. Is there a way to program the transmission so that it is always in "sport" mode? supposedly the transmission will go into "sport" mode when you depress the accelerator all the way. I just don't want it to go back to "normal" mode. Thanks,
