2017 my Vanquish S traction control

[M5MarkM]

Anyone else on here have a new Vanquish S yet? I cannot turn off my traction control, one would assume it was the same process as on the regular Vanquish, just hold the button for 10 seconds. But no matter I do I cannot turn it off, needless to say I have asked my dealer on a couple of occasions who tell me they will get back to me, but they so far they have not. Hoping someone here has one they can try? Manual says hold same as regular Vanquish, possibly left the factory without the button working but surely that would have been checked?

I'm sure there was a communication to say this will be the case while they are working on the new dynamic setup for the vanquish s

Hold for 3 or 4 seconds to get Track mode, then release, push and hold again for a few seconds for Off.

Yup tried that multiple times, it's what the manual says but still nothing....

Problem is I bought the car from HR Owen, 2nd new Aston from them in 7 months, I know their after sales service is utter S**T but they do offer good deals! So despite the fact they had another Vanquish S in the show room it was too much trouble to check that one out and call me back. Will just have to call AM customer service, need to resolve the problem before taking the car to VMAX next week!

Well spoke with AM customer service today who were helpful, went away found the problem and came back to me. The software isn't finished and they are expecting a software update to be available today or tomorrow. They asked me if I could take it to a dealer at some stage for an update. Which I declined... I am totally shocked they would knowingly be selling cars that are not ready to be sold?! Also reasonably disgusted that despite buying a £240k car that wasn't actually ready to be sold they wanted ME to take the car to them for an update rather than them come to me. Totally bewildered with the entire thing, sell a car not ready to go to market then ask the buyer to bring it back...

Small comfort, but the DSC is normally pretty unintrusive, as the car has good traction [double wishbone anti-squat suspension and strong Limited Slip Diff]. If you use Launch Control in Sport mode with paddleshift, it will auto-upshift to 2nd gear at the redline, and subsequent upshifts are down to you.

That is pretty bad show from AM, but they did it with the original NP Vanquish...

I am happy to help out and drive it to the dealership for you......the long way.....via Wales!

Actually its really unbelievable, but as the dealer said to me on many occasion, after I had found a small fault..............................

Its an Aston (as if thats supposed to make me feel better).
