You forgot to mention that the transmission has got to be in S3 before going to M Drive 2 (during your manual setup). I looked up your video because my car wouldn't launch and I thought I was doing everything right and watching your video, it seemed like I was doing everything right, but then I remembered S3 is mandatory to activate launch control. It's not just that it has to be in manual mode. I usually drive in D2 or S2 so mine wasn't automatically set on "3" and didn't launch even though everything else was good to go. Also, you might want to mention that you do need to press the throttle pretty hard to activate launch control. If you gently accelerate, nothing happens... Good clear vid other than that!
