Default Enabling LC

Hi all,

I've just been doing a bit of digging about activating my Launch control on my simtec. The option is unlocked on the ecu but just hasn't been activated. I've seen a few videos of what looks like a really simple way to adjust and activate it via AccessTUNER software. Has anyone had any experience with this? Tempted to give it ago myself being that it does look fairly easy to do but thought I'd float the idea first.

If you want to see the video put AccessTuner Subaru LC in YouTube. I'd post the link myself but the iPad isn't playing ball

Cheers

It's more the fact I bought the ecu with the option unlocked, so kind of want to try it. If its a 5 minute job on the laptop I wouldn't mind giving it a go.

AccessTuner SW will not work with your SimTek or any aftermarket ECU,they work only with their systems

On yours you will need dongle or cable,which you can buy from your dealer or SimTek,but i would ask your mapper first about this like doing something on your own if you don't know how to do

I'll think I'll leave it to the experts.
