Are you past 500 miles? It won't engage until you're past 500 on the odometer.

 

just over 6k miles.

 

I don't think you are suppose to touch the throttle and set your launch RPM in the SRT pages.

 

Without touching the throttle how is my car going to launch or even go for that fact? and it is set to 2700rpm in the srt pages.

 

That's all I had. I'm not far enough into mileage to even try it. I'll let you know what I find when I get there.

 

im not sure if it actually restricts input to the wheels until you let off the break or what but thats what it seems to do on my jeep. Well what it is supposed to do lol because clearly doing a burnout isnt doing what it is supposed to do to launch the car haha

 

Please read page 362, through 364 of your owners manual. Once setup, apply the brakes, quickly go to WOT, check for count down in DID, release brake, keep WOT, keep the wheels straight and hold on.

 

There's no "hold on" in the Charger manual

 

Lower the rpm to 2000 or less. In the launch setting The stall converter is like 2100 that's why the tires spin.

 

Thanks guys gonna go down the street and give it a shot now brb lol

 

It is rather simple, you have to be on a level surface and wheels need to be pointing straight. Start with launch mode rpm at 1500.

Hit the launch button the screen on the dash will tell you that you are ready. Hold down the brake pedal with your left foot and when ready push the gas pedal to the floor. It should hold the rpm to 1500, let go of the break and have fun!

 

You can do that same launch wit out the mode car can be power braked up to 2000 n change before tires spins

Launch mode should be you set rpm at that rpm desired and car stalls and then lock up when let go of brake

Gtr launch is serious but can cost a tranny or 2

 

I can't wait to try it but it looks like I'll have to wait for 310 more miles.

 

Don't be launching car wit no shaft or new floor boards could be in your future

 

Specialty a sticky surface which best area to launch on make sure it's a new blacktop street if gonna attempt on street

Soooo definitely doesn't work. Tried it 5+ times. Even lowered the launch setting to 1500 and 1750. Car revs up way beyond what I set it too and starts spinning the tires. Or if in regular / non sport or track mode it stutters forward and then traction control kicks in and my car smells funny now. But definitely something isn't working correctly, at all lol.

 

When you press launch button it gives you instructions between the tach and speedo. The launch switch will light up.
In will say hold break firm I think and steering wheel must be straight. I was going to video it didn't have time tonight.
When I was at the drag strip I could not get it to work at the staging lanes.

Yepp it gives me the instructions. If im moving it says speed needs to be at 0mph and if the wheel isnt straight is says fix that shit! lol. I even tried letting off the break and then reapplying it to see if maybe it wasnt registering it. Both times no option. I will need to film it i think to show what it is doing. I even tried depressing the throttle not so quickly but every time the rpm shoots up and starts doing a burnout and then kinda stalls it down. Probably because traction control maybe?

 

I fave up trying to use it at the drag strip. To many buttons. And you have to hold the buttons to long after sitting in the staging lanes start engine then shut car off then start again every time setting to custom setting then traction control off. Shifter to manual then back to automatic. Then launch button .

Yup - it is actually really simple. i do it all the time on a long straight i have at home.like he said. just put it in track mode. hit the launch button, hold the brake to the floor then put the gas to the floor. then release brake and leave gas on the floor - and your off. dont over think it.... ps - you have to have at least 500 miles on the odometer to activate launch control.

 

Maybe i have misunderstood the launch mode, but when in launch mode, and it's activated, arent i supposed to be able to apply the break, apply full gas, and then when the light turns green let go of the break and launch it? i follow the dash instructions, press break fully, then as soon as i quickly apply full gas the car starts to do a burnout..... My car has over 6,000 miles on it so i have plenty of miles. I have tried settings from 1,500 rpm on the launch settings all the way up. Every setting gives me the same results.

 

Could be a software issue. Take it to the dealership.

 

I think i may. I dont want anything to do with the dealership here in my town because they are still asking 30k markup on the hellcat that is sittin on their show room and they treated me like crap. I hope their service is better than their sales.

 

OK, you are doing these steps:
1. Get the car on a level road.
2. While in drive, left foot on the brake pedal, push the launch button.
3. Set the car to track mode and set launch RPM.
4. Check the DID
5. Press the accelerator to the floor and hold it.
6. Check the DID to release the brake while keeping the gas to the floor.
You should see a countdown in the DID and you're off.

 

I will attempt this in exact order when i get off work and i will report back! do you have to set the launch rpm every time? Or doesnt it just stay constant on what you already set?
