Yes, those are the correct lights on the dash for this change, and ESP is dead with that tune loaded.

Excellent. I appreciate it.
I will be watching for a solution to the Traction Control disable issue in the Quick Adjust menu.

Sorry, but I have one more question. Before the tune was installed, I could hit my traction control button on my dash 1 time (my Charger does not have STP ... hence the reason why I have to fully disable t/c and esp through the tuner) and it would illuminate the light on the dash of the car leaving black marks with the word "OFF" below it.
After the tune (which already causes the ABS and the car leaving black marks to be illuminated) when I hit my traction control button on my dash, it does nothing. The car leaving black marks with the word "OFF" below it no longer lights up.
I just wanted to confirm that this is what it should be doing. In the back of my mind I guess I pictured the button on the dash still doing what it always did ... especially since it caused a different light to illuminate than the 2 lights that are affected by the custom tune.
Just let me know. Thanks!
P.S. After the custom tune was installed I was able to smoke the rear tires for the first time since owning the car.

yes, the button is useless with that tune.

mikel,
I've also had the same problem for 4 months now waiting for the traction control disable feature to work properly in the quick settings menu of the I-1000 DCX. Would I also be able to get the same type of tune with the system disabled? I have a 2014 R/T.
Please let me know - it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Bill

Same here. That feature has never worked for me. Since I do not run it at the track, I never much cared. I have no wish to disable my ABS on the road, at least not on an everyday basis.

Here's my last tune written file. Is this all you need to make the traction control disable tune? It will be nice to finally be able to disable it when I want to.
Thanks,
Bill

this tune is locked, you will need to ask your tuner to take care of this.
Thanks
