Tesla has a new feature where it will make the same sound from the speakers and car vibrates as well.
I’d love launch control but have a manual s5 - no regrets though, the feeling of a perfect launch in manual is so satisfying

Cheers for the Tip 👍 Will definitely have to try this out in my SQ5.
@KevG I would also add, for cars that have the parking brake assist, this also needs to be turned off for LC to function.
I’m getting an 18 A3 tomorrow! I can’t wait!

That was pretty quick, if I might say.. I have a 08 audi a8l quattro 4.2l v8, but I don't think it's equipped with a LANCH CONTROL SYSTEM... but do see an S on my gear shifter
Your happy it isn’t snow, I live in Phoenix, and want snow to play with my Quattro soooo bad!!
Hey man, late to the party. 2013 S5, just got the ESP switch replaced to try this. Followed the steps, no dice. Dash only displays M1 after switching to Dynamic+Sport Mode+ESP Sport. Not sure what I’m missing Edit. You need to toggle sport mode with the shifter by pulling down while in Drive
I just realized I've never tried LC on my 2018 S5 Sportback. My 2016 A3 didn't have it, so I just assumed the S5 didn't either. Went out and tried it. Seems a bit quicker, but the opportunities and space to use it in my area are very limited.

I haven't actually launched it, but I also have a 2016 A3, and it works. You have to put the traction into sport, and the transmission into sport and manual. It held at 3K RPM just like in this video. I am yet to actually go though.

So does this work with A5 since we have the sport mode too?
i did some 0-60s on my car before tune, stage 1, and stage 2 tune on my channel! i definitely need to try using dragy or something to really get an accurate number. I'm now catless so i'm sure i can go sub 4's. Definitely feels like it haha

people in this comment section really asking for launch control in their manuals.. wtf
Does it work on a basic A4 B9 ?
I have 2009 A4 B8 S-Line 3.0 TDi Quattro. Lowered on Bilsteins, with a stage 1 map. Oh - it's a 6-speed manual, btw. I fucking love my car :) PS: Michelin Pilot Sport 4 S on all corners too. WooHoo!
How about Audi A7? Will it work?
Gonna try it on my 2011 A7 Quattro haha Got the TFSI tho
I’ve seen some people say that the traction control button should be long pressed until it is completely off vs one click 🤷🏻♂️

Will this work an 2015 A5 Quattro S-line? It’s the 3.0 TDI??
Will these launches hurt the trans?
I don’t have the drive select option… can I still launch is like that? Put it in sport and one tap the traction control, does that work.

For those with a ZF trans with a torque converter. 1. Engine warmed up. Engine oil, not just coolant. 2. Transmission warmed up because if the car doesn't have a warm transmission, AMAX will not be engaged. 3. Sport/Dynamic mode. 4. Traction Control off 5. Wheels straight. 6. Press brake hard. 7. Release the brake after the RPMs stop rising. If you have no aftermarket transmission tune on a torque converter transmission or it isn't an RS6/7, your car doesn't want you to press the gas and brake at the same time. This is why you can't hold it too long or the car will cut power. AMAX is a higher torque shift which will occur on the 1-2 and the 2-3. You only have so may AMAX launches on a torque converter car OR it is the SAME on a DSG car. Once you have exceeded the number of AMAX launches or DSG launches, the transmission won't do it EVER again. Transmission tunes do not eliminate the counter, but they can increase it to something like 20 000. Edit. BTW, When I was at the track, the only VAG guys that knew how to launch their car was a Golf R and an Audi S3. Everybody else sucked. My A6 squatted, launched hard, and automatically banged off shifts at 7250 in manual mode as it disappeared into the night. Didn't get a chance to teach these guys but their 1/4 mile times were all over the place and slower than they should be.

Do you press the gas between step 6 and 7 to raise the rpm’s?
I turn off auto engine stop start and traction control fully off by holding it and Sport dynamic mode and launch works well
You forgot a couple of things I think...Oil temp needs to be above 90, steering wheel straight...?
I'm guessing this works the same in my 2011 (B8) Audi RS5?
What about a 2012 Audi A7. Because Audi dealership said my car doesn’t have launch control.

TBH i have tried everything but my audi S3 8p just dont want to launch anymore. I cant remember the buttons to go check if the launch is on or off or even just to change te revs??
