Hi Guys, APR recently released this V tune program

I'm game to try it, anyone else?

Holy Crap, this *Seems* to be what I've been waiting for. I don't like the idea of chipping, seems foolish. However having a software you can mod settings in real time is where this tech should be... Wow.. I'm going to keep an eye on this.

V-tune has been arund for a while now. I was just reading on OZaudi yesterday about a guy who ran V-tune on his A3T (circa 2002 model) and the V-tune didn't really yield any better results than the standard APR chip.
But otherwise, haven't really heard of many people trying it down under.
EDIT: Seems I read it a bit wrong...

Ummm the software if free...
It says you need something to flash the ECU but I'm assuming the ECU with some kind of program you'll find for free will do the trick.
That and it says its for Audi ECU's at this point, I downloaded it anyhow but I'm definately going to be watching.
Oh man I can just see the use of this programme going pear shaped!!!
Unless you have intimate knowledge of what the engine is doing and how each setting effects its performance I would not even contemplate messing around with it. These cars are expensive enough without having to explain to VW why the engine blew up cause you fiddled with the timing or uped the boost.
I'm happy with letting the pro's do all the work and reaping the benifits.

That's my thinking too. :thumbsup:
Especially when APR's DPP tuning, and their competitors, is already well proven. Chasing a few extra kWs viw V-Tune seems a bit too much of a risk for me. If you wanted true ECU customisation, from what I can gather, you need to pay and go the MoTeC route. For my uses as a daily driver, not really necessary.

I was thinking exactly the same thing.
