No Launch Control after 1200 mile service?

So I took my DCT in for the 1200 mile service yesterday and decided to give the Launch Control a whirl after getting it back. I troll around for a while to make sure the engines gets warm and experience some higher RPM shifting. When I finally decided to try the LC, I could not get it to initiate. I had the manual out and read it about 4 times making sure I had all of the settings right. I tried for about 30 minutes but nothing. I am assuming the dealer did not unlock the feature. Has anyone else had this problem?

When I go to the M Drive settings, the S 6 option is still greyed out. But when I turn the DSC OFF, I get the 6th bar option in S mode in the cluster screen. So I can get to S 6 that way, but not through the M Button.

My SA and I specifically talked about LC now being unlocked when he handed me my keys, but maybe someone forgot to flip the switch???

LC unlocks itself after 1250 miles. No intervention is needed. You have to have your M button settings configured correctly to access launch control through the steering wheel button. Have DSC completely off and the transmission in S6 mode. At a complete stop, push the shift lever forward and hold it until the flag pops up on the dash. Floor the accelerator & release the shift lever when you're ready to go.

Go back to dealer and tell them. THey probably messed up and forgot to unlock it.

**On a side note, i just tried LC for the first time yesterday, and it blew me away....No words can describe it.
