**Some of the factory DSG controller software has all launch control software removed, in these cases we can sometimes alter the software of your TCU to a launch control enabled version, however we cannot guarantee that we will be able to do this with _all_ versions of the factory controllers. This has been the case on some exchange/replacement units, as well as some European B8.5 models. If you do not have factory launch control in any way please contact us to determine if we can enable this for you.
