The Suncoast product includes:
For 2009-2012 vehicles with PDK, you get a Sport Plus button with Launch Control and Race Track Shift Strategy.

Local Dealers in Nassau and Jersey seem clueless or want a lot of money to do this. WOW. Suncoast says these installs are 2-3 hours max. These guys charging 8 hours or more on each.

Just so everyone knows, My PDK without LC ran an 11.5@123 this weekend @ Ohio multiple times. I believe If I had LC, It would run an 11.2 stock. I am working on getting LC on my car.
