You need to have your EGS firmware at 51.0+ or higher firmware, so flash it if nessesary. Then also have 2TB coded for Sport AT, unless you are already equipped with SAT, and VO code EGS, ICM, and KOMBI. Then code Launch Control set Applikation_LC and/or LC to aktiv in the EGS.

Also, you need to have your vehicle be driven first for 6 miles (10 km) uninterrupted to get to optimal engine temperature. Then:
1. Place driving mode in Sport+ or turn off traction control.
2. Move transmission into Sport. (Should say S1 on your instrument cluster.)
3. Firmly and fully press the brake pedal and hold.
4. Floor the throttle past resistance point into kick down. (You should feel a little click on the pedal.)
5. Your instrument cluster should say "Launch Control Active"
6. Fully release the brake pedal and keep the throttle floor.
7. Enjoy.

Those are the steps I tell everyone else and it seems to work for them. Hope this sorta helps...
