[s-cars] future of awd

That technique works Steve for keeping the DBW alive, I've used it on the  
neu S4 and the M5.  IMU with the haldex, it uses the brake light input  (and/or 
acceleromter) for disegagement, so he won't get any help there unless he  
finds the feeds for it.

try  "blipping" your brake pedal while keeping constant throttle.

that  technique works very well in our Mercedes. it may also work in
the Audi,  assuming a common vendor for braking controller.

I discovered it during  a long drive to Alberta, being quite pissed
that the brakes would cut the  accelerator. I've gotten good enough
with the technique now that it's  virtually seamless.

of course going from the S6 to the ML requires a  context shift.
