A5 2.0T 2010 Mods?

I'm also patiently waiting. I don't pick up my new car for another week but only bought it b/c I knew I could chip it. 211hp is a little (lot) on the shy side for a 3800lb car!

I checked with my local APR dealer (H2Sport in Georgetown ON) last week. They told me APR said "a few weeks".

Reminds me of the infamous APR "2 weeks" debacle from the B6 days...

DeMo.. hahaha I got the same answer back in first week of Sept, APR told me 3 weeks. So month went by, no words from APR, I sent PM to [email protected] to get an update. Mike basically said they're still working on it, can't promise any time frame on it...

same here.. Now I am totally frustrated and gonna get rid of the car next monday.... Im not the waiting kind of guy. Should have done my homework a little better..

rc777 don't feel bad, I did my homework and APR actually told me they could do the remap. Little did I know they had never tried it on a 2010. Same goes for Bluefin, they were prepared to sell me the handheld until I found out that the 2010 had increased security. I don't know if I would sell my car over it, I think at the very least it will only take 8 weeks for them to be able to crack it. Nissan claimed the GT-R's ECU was uncrackable and someone had cracked it within a month of the car being released.

Since selling my Porsche, I've waited 10 weeks for the car and their is no way I'm going to sell it right away, even if I am disappointed with the factory performance.

APR in Australia has already released a REMAP for the 2.0 TFSI Quattro and apparently have already done a few A5's.

Planning on popping by for a remap soon

That doesn't apply to 2010's.......only older A5's.

True, 2010's 2.0T ECU is different from older 2.0T ECU. That's why even A4 2.0T could not be re-flased...

Can anyone explain the exact technical differences between the 09' and the 10' 2.0T ECU?

Seems quite peculiar as to why Audi would make any changes in the ECU considering the 2.0T model only came out in 09'.

Don't you think if anyone, specifically APR or Bluefin knew the exact technical difference in the ECU then they would be able to flash it?!?

Audi, like all owners of copyrighted technology don't want people hacking into and changing their systems. The difference is increased security....
