DSG & Launch-control

I've just read in a post by Robin that his DSG equipped car doesn't have launch control. If this has been covered I apologise, but I was under the impression that it was a standard feature of European spec cars? I take it that this isn't the case?

RedRobin:
....

Apparently LC is only on early Mk5 R32's and later Mk5 GTI's. I've no idea about Ed30's but think most have LC.

My GTI is a 06-build, 05-plate.

Here's a very amusing vid showing Launch Control (seen previously by many people) : -



Ah so! P for Parking!

Ed 30s have LC as the instructions on how to use it are in the Edition 30 addendum to the car handbook!  :happy2:

....Then that strongly suggests that all those posts claiming that VW considered and treated instances of LC and also logged them, as 'illegal', were a load of internet forum bollox.

Cheers guys. Any ideas when it was phased in and the big question of course... can it be enabled? Is it ECU controlled or is the DSG mechatronic control module in charge?
