[@sirmontecristo2808]

Ordered the kit Tuesday night. Got the package Thursday evening. Installed Stage 1+ same night and tested it. Ohhhh yeahh what a difference does it make. Thanks DAP for the fast shipping and all your DIY videos. Next on the list the LED headlights, springs and Unitronic intake.

[@bretsimpson9890]

Can you adjust it if is if flash only

[@MajesticMalice]

Officially saving up. Shop DAP seems to be where it is at!

[@JohnMaffa]

I love the Unitronic set up. I've got a different tune and every time VW releases a Software update I have to go back, have thee tune removed, go to the dealer get the upgrade, then go back and have the tune put on. This would save hours of time.. and money (since every time I have my tune changed I have to pay for it). One thing you might have overlooked, while it's important to make sure the car is connected to a charger, it's probably equally important to make sure your laptop is fully charged and /or plugged in..

[@Deutscheautoparts]

Yup your laptop cant die either.... I guess I kind of assumed that people understand that your laptop has to stay on. Paul

[@yoimsho]

Love your videos. Because of them, I ordered an ODBEleven, hoping to purchase a one of these cables soon! Keep up the videos!

[@Deutscheautoparts]

Thank you so much for the purchase. We appreciate the support very much

[@FSHooligan]

So if you jump straight to let's say buying the stage 2 tune, that would also allow access to stage 1 and one plus like we saw on your screen? Or did those show up because you've already purchased those before?

[@djkaos34]

Hey, Paul. Great tutorial as usual. I just purchased the Unitronic stage 2 and was wondering if Unitronic recommends gapping your spark plugs to a specific gap or changing them to a colder heat range plug, Thanks and keep up the great work.

[@emirmk7494]

djkaos34 I called and spoke with unitronic regarding your question and they said to keep it “stock OEM”

[@keerox6114]

going a heat range coler wont be a bad thing I did on my mk6 w a stage 2+ tune

[@MTLVWRVlogs]

Amazing video!!!! Keep it up Paul

[@polycut8991]

Just purchased, thanks for the channel. Cheers

[@a.c.6475]

Excellent video, always informative. keep up the good work!

[@PIETROSTUFF]

Hi Paul, I have a Golf R MK7. A few weeks ago i install the neuspeed power module and i love it a lot, I just want a little increase in power and don’t want problem with the warranty and what do you think about this power module also if you did a DYNO test ? Do i have to install a cold air intake or cat back for this mod? Thanks in advance

[@averagearmyjoeclips3681]

How long do you think I should baby the engine after a tune before I really start putting my foot down?

[@danielsimpson8929]

Great! Had a Saab and used trionic now have a vw and unitronic looks good. Question though... I'm not interested in uploading a tune, I'd just like to connect to the ecu via the obd2 port and do a backup of the ecu so if it fails I have a restore point. Hexprog does this but I'd have to remove the ecu for it... does unitronic allow for backups to be performed? Would that be a subscription based vin lock as well?

[@cliffweatherbee6914]

Is this a custom tuning software like HP Tuners of EFI Live? Or is this just a package installer like a Spade or Bullydog system?

[@jaymoney7968]

Out o point question here ,,but I wanna know what is the best,for these turbo cars , they Castrol ero gtx full synthetic,or mobile 1, or liquid Molly,just ur opinion bussy thank yo for all the parts and tools from you guys so that you. ,

[@bogglesboggles6949]

Just bought a 2017 GTI s and I want to purchase a unitronic stage 1+ mod and the racing line r600 intake. My questions are: are there any emission issues here in California with these products? and as both products advertise for somewhat better fuel economy do they in fact make a difference in fuel savings?

[@m4iled]

I'm actually in the same position as you, I also need help so someone living in cali help us out!

[@dylanhendricks7267]

Evening I own a vw Mk5 2.0 8v trendline would like to know if it's tuneable and if software upgrades is available on this specific software/uniconnect for it thanks in advance

[@MyDeere3320]

Just curious, is there a Flash for 2012 A6 3.0T? I only see the S4 3.0T. And another question, do you guys recommend saving your OEM ROM before flashing in case if someone wants to go back to stock?

[@Dstructeur1]

Always save base map dude!

[@rog5hd232]

Are any of these available for the TDI Jetta 2005? I can't seem to find any support

[@randrozguidroz6485]

I am in the same proverbial boat that you're in

[@cerpintaxt28]

2015 MKVII PP w/MT driver here...currently stock. Would you recommend starting here for tuning? I've been watching lots of your GTI videos and love the info. Seems like stock clutch should do fine with stage 1 from what I've learned so far. But if I'm ready to take the plunge into getting more power out of my GTI, would this be a good 1st step?

[@danielchmura6245]

what did you have that battery charger set at? slow charge 40 amp?

[@blottermad]

looking to flash my 2017 Tiguan. Do you have one for it? I had a 2011 and I loved it so much I got a new one the only thing is, the 2017 seems to be a neutered version, all in the name of fuel economy. And the extra 1-2 mpg is not worth it.

[@khvidtube1617]

Quick question: I have an existing APR Stage 1 file installed with the car, do I have to send the car away to have it removed first, then come back to install the Unitronic file? If I have purchased both ECU and TCU files, which one do I install first?

[@evanleonardomirandacruz6031]

I mean, the TCU one is directly for your automatic transmission, and your tuned volumetric efficiency maps (injection maps) are directly for your ECU, so if your question is if it affects somehow each other, in short, no, it doesn’t, unless you drive the car with let’s say the original injection maps and the mod TCU files, in that case, the answer is yes, but not at an extremely amount, if you modified your injection maps without modifying the TCU, it doesn’t affect at all, remember that your maps, at the end of the day are still files, that can be written an rewritten, so yes, it needs to be exchanged for whatever other map you want to install on them, cuz your ecu needs to read out those files in order to execute those actions.

[@gourmetfitness5768]

I am about to get a atlas cross sport (execuline with rline package) and I find it under powered for its potential.. Will a tune help with a little more horse power and torque? Will it void the warranty? first time owning vw and want to have a great experience.

[@freebird1ification]

i really appriciat your doing these videos i have the 2002 golf gti with 1.8 turbo and 5 speed tiptronic aout matic and want to see videos on this specific car can you advise please

[@rodrigoalvarez8662]

thank you for tips !!! how much to cost ???? to order???

[@patricklahaie1961]

Hi Paul...do you sell custom tunes for mk5 2006 jetta 1.9 tdi pd ?

[@salvatorej.quaglieri7792]

As soon as I get to the engine flash it’s not showing me and software files found I purchased the stage one. My vin is correct. All the steps are correct and look similar to yours except after I hit engine flash .

[@SeanMclaren]

If I flash my car for performance, and run it for a while, then flash it back to stock, When the car goes back to the vw garage for a service, will it affect my warranty? IE will the warranty be void? cheers!

[@jmsma6234]

Paul. Thanks for the informative videos and products. I am close to pulling the trigger on a performance upgrade for a 2016 Golf R. Five days out of the year, I track the car for a full intense day of heavy braking, acceleration, and shifting! I'm convinced that the car performance would benefit from an upgrade, especially to boost hp/torque in the lower gears. With that said, I only need this boost for limited time throughout the year, perhaps for intense summer tracking months. My question is would the Unitronic connect allow for frequent and easy uninstall and reinstalls. OR would this situation be better served with a power module, such as JB1 or Neuspeed? Thanks as always.

[@Deutscheautoparts]

Answer coming on askdap 61

[@johnmarksjr2051]

It's Vagcom via obd2 port correct? No need to ask much about Audi A4 1.8T Quattro . Sorry if I missed specific Vagcom reference.

[@kaddymorgan1625]

would this work for audi a4 1.8 turbo 2002?

[@ketsmusic1]

Have you ever performed a upgrade on a B5 2.7 bi turbo?

[@tudorflorin8040]

Nice video. So I have a VW golf mk4 1.4 75hp, and I've changed the intake manifold with one found on the vw polo 1.4 102hp. I also changed the throttle body from a 46mm diameter to the 64mm diameter, the stock injectors with thouse found on a 1.6 105hp vw golf mk4, deleted the catalitic converter, aded a short ram intake, an oil catch can and deleted my Egr valve. The question is what sort of tune do I need for this to run properly? This software will work on my engine setup? Thank you very very much. Good work with these videos.

[@catrachan]

When will this be available for the 3rd Generation 1.8t that came out in the Jetta SE 2014?? I have a Jetta Sport 2015 and have been waiting for this since there is no APR dealer in my country, this is my best option, if not I’d have to buy a Neuspeed Power Module...

[@dclifford400]

Would like to buy from you guys, but cant find on your site, 03 b6 a4Q 1.8 stage one+, guess I have to call

What flash tune do you recommend for a MKIV R32?

[@spooksy1982]

Can I do an IS38 turbo upgrade on my Mk3 EA888 Skoda Octavia Mk3 and then get software from unitronic for that vehicle? Thanks

[@michaelirrebaria291]

Hey Paul what if I just want to buy the uniconnect just to go back to stock is it possible. Because I bought a car with a tune and I dont know what tune it has. I just want to use it to go back to stock for smog I live in California we suck.

[@drsnowmon]

I have the 2019 GTI and purchased stage 2 software, but when I went to go tune my car there were no files on my Uniconnect cable So then I contacted Unitronic and they uploaded stage 2 file on my account but now it says "GLI" instead of GTI file and they haven't gotten back to me yet So I guess my question is, did Unitronic screw up by sending me wrong file? or is it safe to flash GLI file on my GTI?

[@ThomasRSmith-og7zo]

Any tunes available for the 2015 VW Passat Tdi E288 150HP motor?

[@johnw.9572]

Would I be able to install this with a chrome book or do I need a special program that runs in a laptop computer

[@Vr6.christos]

Will it work for the Touareg vr6

[@jaywillsey6797]

Paul, is there a plugging in and out of the PC and OBD II port process to follow? Or can it be done in any order before and after the flash? Thanks!

[@simonmilanov8853]

hello can you tell me how can i get that cable for audi A4 2012 2.0 TDI?

[@danielrossi5160]

Deutsche auto parts: I have a golf mk5 2.0l FSI and I was wondering if remapping it is first possible and second of any use. I don't pretend and especially don't want to transform it in any GTI or R. I would simply like to improve the gaps in the acceleration and if possible improve petrol consumption. Thanks

[@wesmurrell7430]

Once you buy the cable and the software, does it allow you to flash the same car more than once? Basically, would I have to pay again if I wanted to flash to stock for inspection then flash the tune back afterwards?

[@Deutscheautoparts]

Nope you can flash whenever you need to

[@hllboi817]

Paul, does a 2016 gti pp need a boot pin flash to get the unitronic software to work with the uniconnect? Also, if u flash it back to stock for dealer service, do u have to re bootpin flash it at a unitronic dealer, even if u have a uniconnect cable?

[@ryanmurillo9090]

I have a question would this cable fit my 2014 vw Passat 1.8t

[@bovcrx]

I don't see any tunes for a 2012 beetle. I'm about to start doing mods to it now that it's paid for. It's 2.0 TSi so can I just use MK6 GTI tunes?

[@dec-vt100]

Is this supposed to increase horsepower, or did i get this wrong? If yes, what order of magnitude? Do you have anything available for a 2000 mk4 Golf 1.9 TDI? (i think the engine code is AJM)

[@k3vbomb]

I just purchased a 2012 MK6 GTI with DSG and was wondering if I went with this to tune, could I purchase the Stage 2 tune and just tune my car with 1+ until I purchase the downpipe later and than bump up to 2 later on? Would I unlock the stage 1 and 1+ with the purchase of stage 2 basically. Also, would the DSG tune be a must have if I tune?

[@Deutscheautoparts]

Yes if you purchase stage 2 you would have access to the the previous stages. In regards to the DSG tune its not a must but it is best for performance. FYI right now their is $50 off the software tunes. Link here for MK6 GTI tunes. shopdap.com/looking-to-tune-your-mk6-gti/

Are the data logging, launch control and no lift shift features available yet using uniconnect+ for the 2016 model year??? I read somewhere in a forum data logging was not yet available and in unitronics website there is a ** next to the data logging feature which is notes to a ** at the bottom stating not yet available. However, this was a couple months ago so im curious as to when this will be released if it hasn't already

If you already have an authorized Ross-tech cable for a MK7 GTI, do you need a unitronic cable too? or just the software to tune?

[@Deutscheautoparts]

a Ross Tech cable will not allow you to flash the vehicle. You will need the Uniconnect cable to do this.

What about software for a shop yo dyno tune it? All the performance shops around me don't have the software. You guys dont have one for the 1.8 TSI?

[@4wheeldriverican]

At the time of this video you guys We’re literally near my house pretty nice to have a local place

[@drewfalkenburg6808]

Would you still recommend Unitronic to someone who doesn't have an authorized dealer anywhere near them? They only shop near me is an APR one. I was leaning toward them for sake of having a local dealer. I really want good support from a shop especially if a tune screws with my factory warranty.

[@Deutscheautoparts]

Drew If you are looking to potentially preserve your warranty using the Uniconnect cable to flash your car will allow you to flash back to stock on your own when bringing your vehicle for service. It really boils down to what you feel comfortable with but the video above show the process to flash the vehicle which would be the same for stock. So if you think you are OK with doing what is shown here no real need to have a software dealer do anything for you.

[@Deutscheautoparts]

Answer coming more in depth on AskDAP 49

[@Countryguy5967]

How does Unitronics make more power compared to APR? What is the main difference between the two?

[@TheIKAIKAIKA]

Unitronic vs VCDS, whacha think?

[@MassiveLoop]

Asention: Check out Cobb tuning. I'm running the accessport on my mk6 gti (they also support mk7 now) very fast to flash in your driveway. In addition to off the shelf tunes, they provide a custom tune service that can be obtained from protuners and installed on to your car.

[@FSHooligan]

You can't do a tune through Vcds...

[@Lokyr00]

Have you put it on the dyno with stage 2 yet? I'd prefer to get Unitronic but it seems like APR and Eurodyne offer much more torque. Eurodyne is also $200 cheaper. I've had a downpipe installed for months but I can't decide on a tune.

I'd like to see an answer to this question. I had an APR tuning and VW had to do the fix for the TDI. I want to be able to tune it myself which makes this option viable but will I be able to revert to the stock software for emissions testing and retune once that has been completed?

Quick question, can this cable be used at a tuner shop to do a custom tune? I don't mind running a pre made flash but every motor is different needs a personal tune to get the most out of a tune.

[@warbird108]

No. This cable can only be used with Unitronic tunes. To do a custom flash you'd almost certainly need to open up the ECU, which is a very risky procedure.
