    I recently had to replace my (R)everse button on my F430. It seems the R and Auto button are prone to wearing out.
    Surprisingly once I removed the metal cover to replace the button there was a third set of wires going to a unconnected plug which would be right in the spot that the launch button would be.

    Would Ferrari have the hardware in place for all F430s for launch control? Seems like a waste when I think the only other part would be software and CPU programming for launch.

    If you don't mind sharing, where did you source your new buttons?

    Better question is, why are you even using the auto button so much?

    Wow man, it was a general statement, meant for anyone using the auto button you said that wears out. Sorry if I struck a nerve or something.

    Dont worry about it, you get people on here saying they drive around town in race mode and then wonder why they drove the car into a ditch
