Don't dream of this, since rear Electronic Differential Lock is exactly 
what it means: an electronic software that pseudo-locks the rear diff 
via the ABS pump by braking the wheel that spins. There is no physical 
locking device. And I won't start on the Torsen central diff, which is 
an limited slip differential.

That's the price of progress :-(
