You're ecu needs to learn for a few days. When ever you reset the ecu the throttle input will be very sluggish. Some spirited driving and a couple hours, and it should be back to normal.

As for launch controll, go on you're ap. Go to settings, lc, then set it to you're desired launch rpm. Don't set it too low, or it will affect you WOT shifts. I would say above 5k and you're fine. Good luck!

I SAW WHERE IT IS AT BUT IT SAYS SOME THING ABOUT THE FEATURE NOT BEING ENABLED ON THE MAP

Ok that means you need to update the firmware on you're ap. Cobb updates it like once a week, soo annoying! Just go to cobbs website, and follow their directions for the firmware update.. You'll be happy you did!

You have to flash your ECU with a Launch Control Enabled map. Once you've done this. The options should work. The LC maps are clearly marked on the map download page. You need to download the maps and add them to your AP. Then you can flash your ECU, and you should be able to set the LC parameters. Hope this helps

CobbTuning.com - Subaru AccessPORT

Find the maps for your year of car. There will be a Yellow LC for launch enabled maps. You don't need to be tuned to use LC maps. Just download them, add them to your other maps, send it to your AP flash your ECU

Two tips for the OP. One, screw i mode. Two, depress the caps lock button so the green light turns off on your keyboard.
