Am I Missing Something??

I bought my 2009 Factory JCW back in October of 2010, and every time I read a review of the car, it always says it comes standard with DSC. I know my JCW was one of the early ones, it was built in October 2008- does that make a difference?

Shouldn't I have the DSC button in the middle?

Thats the way my 07 mcs is set up. And if the dtc button was in the middle what would be on the right?

See your manual

DSC and DTC both work off the same single button. Same on my 2010 S. Of course I have found the manual explanation clear as mud, but at least it is documented there (or is on my 2010 S anyway).

What's the manual say?

I think the centre button is for the engine start/stop feature which we don't get in the US.

I wouldn't be surprised if you have one button for DTC/DSC, they're closely related.

I don't have DTC in my car so my button is only for the DSC. I don't think you can have DTC without DSC. I drove a brand new 3-series last week and it had only a DTC-button. One push on the button and the DTC was activated, holding the button and the DSC was off. I guess it's the same in your JCW. Try next time you drive it.

That's for EU cars like mine... It's the Start-Stop Buttons Place

That's exactly how it worked. Thanks!
