Wait a min. are you saying that we can flash are cars ourselfs with the vag-com and the internet?

And the guy at the Autobarn dealer said it was just a flash which will take an hour which costs $120 + parts

well as I said before ( is it chipped or flashed ) its flashed if he needs the Internet to set it up and you can buy this information on EBay all you need is a full working version of VAG to implement it

nope but your bloody close, you can buy flash data of eBay but you need the tools to implement it and it only works with the newer cars

Ah i see so basically it would be more $$$ to get set up but could be a private/backyard dealer afterwards so to speak.

I didn't see it on ebay under flash data what else would it listed under.

either way i wrote an email to giac about this.

we need to start a petition to have RENN ART be a dealer. they will never charge for labor or aynthing like that.

they are good people over there. i even told giac that they are loosing a large customer base to other tuners becasue of dealers like Autobarn Motorsports.

Exactly that is the most they could possibly charge you and that is if they have to solder it in.
