First off I would like to thank DionR, who has a 2015 R/T manual with STP and launch control, for posting his BCM and ABS module info pulled from alfaOBD.
Basically this all started in this thread, post #38 where DionR mentioned something about adding drive modes using Tazer. Well that and his post about the HVAC center stack controls. The link below has a lot more info to my approach but I thought I would consolidate everything in a single thread. I also added links to the posts that contained additional information.
Now on my 2015 R/T+ (did not come with STP/launch control) every time I tried to enable STP I would lose sport mode. That is until DionR mentioned setting drive mode to SCAT via the Tazer. Once I did that BAM, not only did my sport mode come back but now traction control would turn off automatically. Not to mention I saw a new icon pop-up on my radio called Perf. Control.
When I clicked on it I got the launch control screen. All the controls worked on it except for Launch control. Pressing launch mode would say it is active but nothing showed up on my instrument cluster.
First I thought the PCM had something to do with it so I checked if in the tune there was anything launch control related and there was. But it already showed it was enabled.
Then I thought this was because I did not have the correct center stack controls...you know the one with the STP button. So I found a center stack control unit 68184927AB from a junkyard and installed it. All it did was to launch Perf. Control and that was it.
So then I though, hey maybe the BCM had something to do with it? So I looked everywhere to see if there was a configuration that could be activated...nothing popped out. Until I asked DionR if he could provide the log of his BCM (and eventually ABS) module. The only difference was the Chassis Type on his car was 77 and my was 76. I looked high and low...only to find two things about chassis type..Jack and Sh!t. So I took a gamble and changed my BCM configuration to type 77. Next thing I know my ABS and Stability control lit up and I was getting a C2206 error from the ABS module. Once I confirmed that DionR and I had the same ABS module and settings I was convinced all I had to do was initialize the ABS.
So I set the chassis type to 77 and initialized the ABS module per alfaOBD instructions (see link above) and all of the sudden launch control worked. So now I have an RT+ equipped with functioning STP button and launch control.
I am pretty sure this can be done on SXT and RTs with an automatic, but you would need a BCM read from a car that came equipped with STP to confirm chassis type and that ABS is the same (just to be safe).
So to recap, for my vehicle the changes I needed to make in the BCM with alfaOBD were:
Performance Pages Present: Present (was originally not present) -- not really critical but hey why not
Drive mode feature configuration: Set (was originally not set) -- this made sport mode work again and TC would turn off automatically.
Memory drive mode sub-feature configuration: Set (was originally not set)
ESC drive mode sub-feature configuration: Set (was originally not set)
Chassis Type: Type 77 (was originally 76)
Super trac pack present: Set (was originally not set)
I then connected to the ABS module and ran the initialization per alfaOBD instructions.
I also think there are some changes to cold launch spark and multiplier tables in the PCM tune but I have yet to get my hands on a stock tune of a manual RT with STP.
This should be something the folks at Zautomotive should take a look at to see if they can add it to the next tazer firmware.

Performance Pages in my R/T
Alright I'm sure this is somewhere in here but I couldn't find anything. Is there a way to get performance Pages in my 16 R/T with the 8.4 uconnect? Or is that totally limited to the SRT and Hellcat? Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

HVAC controls swap
Any calibration required if you swap the HVAC control module? I have the Performance Pages working on my 8.4 swapped UConnect and want to add the STP button to finish the upgrade. Thanks!
