The launch control works great. Just activated sport+, put the leaver into sport mode. Held the brake with left foot and pressed the gas pedal to the floor (Kick down area). "Launch control activated" and a checkered flag appeared in the bottom right instrument cluster. Realesed the brake, and off I went!

You dont have to activate sport +, but the DTC has to be in "Dynamic mode". Also it will not work if you have it in sport manual mode. I tried that, no checkered flag and it only spun, and did not want to change gear.

The launch itself was pretty undramatic, smooth quick accleration, but I felt it was quick!

Does anyone know if you have to start the sequence from the beginging?

For example, can you be driving around in Sport+ or Sport&Traction and in S/M mode and then launch it?

Or do you have to reset to comfort and start the whole sequence?

You can drive around in sport + mode, but you do have to go from Sport manual to sport(auto) on the gearbox.
