Cobb, where is our launch control?
Some of us are dying with LW flywheels, i heard from a reliable tuner that this is in the works, how soon ??

I've posed the same question on the Cobb forums, and conesensus has it that it can't ever happen ... Piggy back systems are different, and can manage launch control just fine ... The AP however is an ECU tune, similar to the ECUTek and can't ever happen ...

you can't start your car without the clutch depressed. Your ECU is getting a signal....it's tapping into it that's the key.
When I setup launch control with my Utec I tapped into that signal so I didn't have to buy that extra part from turboxs. Worked just fine. |

Not much has changed in that system since before car's had ECUs, but had clutch lockout switches. However it is different on Drive-By-Wire cars as the Cruise Control is controlled by the ECU. Which is why you are probably confused. |

Ah well the Utec just needed an open circuit to tell when the clutch was depressed then. I figured the circuit was tied into the ECU which activated the starter. If that's not the case then I stand down. |

Why would the ECU need a signal from the clutch to implement launch control?
IF vehicle_speed = 0 & rpm > launch_control_limit THEN fuel_cut = TRUE. |

With mine I was able to keep the foot on the floor from start to finish without ever lifting. When the clutch was pressed to shift the ignition cut was kicked in which kept boost going and made shifting very smooth. It was strange though how quiet it would get between shifts. braaaaaaaaaaaaa <clutch in> .......gear clunk....brap......<clutch out> braaaaaaaaaa |

DBW cars have a clutch switch input to the ECU so we can see when you're on/off the clutch for those cars. There's actually a lot of interesting things you can do on the DBW cars.
Launch control and a few other fun things are coming. We're focused a bit on the new AccessPORT at the moment but there are many things being refined that we expect to release this year. Shame not all cars came with the same inputs to the ECU but we're working with what we have to bring as many exciting features as possible to market. We have to continue to innovate, not follow. Right Jon? Trey @ COBB |

1) the New accessport, does that mean 07's or a completely new handheld module and software revisions?
2) Tell us more about the launch control... whether you are using a handheld unit or a separate module that complements the handheld device? I sent you an e-mail suggestion about this like 3 months ago but I guess you hear so many inquiries about this it just got thrown into a heap of other inquiries. Awsome to hear that this is going to happen though. |

so the new features (launch control, eg) can be uploaded into the accessport and be usable for all years?

^^^ That is what I am trying to clarrify. I think there would have to be a separate flash parameter of somekind so the user can pick the rpm to set the launch at... in which case you would need a standard map plus some accessory map that holds your desired information. If its a secondary stand alone module of some kind, then it could potentially be alterable on the fly, but trey hasnt responded to my post a few posts up just yet.

^^if you dont have an STi, or an 06+ wrx, it isnt likely that this will work on your car so don't get your hopes up. It requires drive by wire in order to work, which means we will most likely need a unichip in addition to the accessport to make this work along with additional wires.
I also have a hunch that you will have to purchase a brand new AP in order for launch control to work, being that Cobb is about to release a completely new handheld module that is smaller and cooler looking... but I'm not down for another $600 for no particular reason other than a new controller and a few updates as my car is running perfectly minus launch control which would be nice but isnt worth 600bones to me. |
