Under Launch Control / 2 Step / 3 Step / T-Brake in the Advanced Engine menu. See page 227 of the MS3-Pro manual for details.

It's in the current 1.3.3 firmware; no alpha code required now. You can use one of the MS3X mid current outputs to drive the solenoid as long as it takes 3 amps or less.

i down loaded 1.3.2 firmware already. can i put the b/ld jumper in to down load the other two firmwares (1.3.3, 1.3.4) or do i have to erase the 1.3.2 first?

You do not need the boot jumper to reload firmware unless you've put in some weird setting that crashes the firmware without making it throw an error code.
