DTC, is it programmable?

I recently purchased my second R56s and my previous had limited slip. My current does not have DTC. Can that be installed via computer?

Interesting thought. If it were easy, it seem it would be hard to get $250 for it. NES expert might be the way. Do a search you might find something.

eDTC is electronic so theoretically it is retro-fitable but I have not seen anybody do it. I seriously doubt it is NCS Expert programmable, but my understanding is that if you get the JCW kit, the software update includes it (don't quote me on that).

Great question, and I have wondered about it for my 08. But since you have a newer vehicle the thing to try to would be to change your Vehicle Order string to include the DTC option code (it is in the R56AT.000 file).

From looking at the parts diagrams it seems there is no difference between eLSD/DTC/DSC equipped cars and NON eLSD/DTC/DSC equipped cars so that would indicate to me that it is all programming.
