Hi all
Is it possible to code on 2013 LCI F07 2.0d the launch control?
The car already have the sailing mode.
I would like to have launch control as 3.0d has.
Thanks!

Launch Control

Hello!

Try it. On a F31 it was the solution to activate the LC, also on a 535d F10. Both with 50.2.

Hi,

I have 320d and on egs/3000 Applikation, 02 there are only UNBELEGT,Segeln,MSA,Sportschalter_alt,NIC_alt,Sportschalter,Allrad,Vmax,MAB Variante,Stop/Go,UNBELEGT but there is no LC. Could it be somewhere different.

Thanks.

Bricking comes from flashing ECU's, not coding them.

It was written above that LC requires N63 motor (.50) to work though but your 640i has N55 motor.

No, you can just make it, load it in Coding module, and code with it, without ever writing it to the car.

Translated from italian instructions:

For all the range 1 Series, 3 Series and 6 Series (from July 2013) it will be possible to have in combination with the 8-speed automatic transmission, the new Launch Control system, which in the past has been the preserve only of the variants Motorsport.
To use this function, the driver must activate the DTC mode (via the DSC button), place the gear lever in S, lift your foot off the brake and simultaneously presses the accelerator pedal all the way. The growth speed of the system of locks only when the driver lifts his foot off the gas slightly which will make a flying start without skidding the tires.

Hello!

I've coded the LC on a F10 535d (03/13) this day. The car has now the 50.2 and it was possible to code. With the old 49.3 there was no way.

Hello!

Flashing of the car was done from the dealer (due to some problems with the brakes), I coded the EGS using the latest CAF.

Thank you for starting this thread, I was trying to activate this on a 2013 650 Gran Coupe. There were 2 Launch Control Values that I found, one in the EGS module and one in DSC module. Coding didn't work so I believed it MIGHT be a limitation due to the software loaded onto the car. I'll check the car tomorrow and provide more specifics.

Hello!

As posted I coded it yesterday on a F11 535d. The guy tried it several times but the flag wasn't show. I can remember me that I need at minimum 20 tries to avtivate the LC on my M5 (I pressed the brake to hard - it's different to the LC on a normal F10/F11).

Now we have two options:
1. It can be coded but it will not work
2. It can be coded and it will work but it's not easy to activate it
