2nd on the trans recode. I had to change mine after they chipped it. now after the 32 code it is fine. they set it back to 00 or 02 after the new file goes in. as for the prnds let prince know you still want to retain that when you send out the ecu. he made my prnd say vast_d in my test tcu. that really showed some tuning domence I thought.
I still can't believe how much different this file was compared to my giac. not only that but it was still better than my friends level 10 modifyed VB. deffinity money well spent. as said before I seriously recommend this to anyone with a tip X2 if you are chipped

Don't have it handy but do a search no AW, there is extensive write ups.
So what did Prince say that?

after the 32 recode you will turn on the gear hold selection. this is already turned on in the program but you need the 32 in the adaption to take advantage of it. lastly remember there is still the learning patterns that the tcu will go threw. my program took about 1 week before it settled in just the way I liked it. I thought this was a nice touch to the file as it helps further tailor the file to the driver.
the best part is you have ko4's ask prince about there tuning for that as well. they have some of the fastest A6's on ko4's there are. if you thought there tip software was good there tuning for the ecu is just as good.

The learn feature is definitely a great thing to extend. But you definitely need to know that the car will adapt over the next week or so. I would drive the car for about a week before you worry about how the car down shifts.

ok so all i did was program the code to 00032 and it is a little rocky downshifting ...
what else do i need to do other then drive it for a week
also my screen in between the speedo and tach flashed from PRND432 to 12345 randomly ... i have the s-line a6 so my screen used to say PRNDS and when i put it in "S" it is now in "4" and wont shift through all 5 gears? o well ill live with that if i have to but is the flashing back and fourth between PRND432 and 12345 normal??

It sounds like your trans is loading the prnd4 instead of the prnds. I would let prince know about this as he can change it to what ever you wish it to say. He can make the PRNDS say your name if you wish. Also as for the switching between the 1234 and the PRND check your codes you might have needed to clear out the TCU. also the car dose go threw all the gears but it doesn't feel like it due to the new TQ converter scheem. I thought this as well but you can look in vag and see the trans shifting gears.

how do i clear out the tcu ... do you think that it is fine to leave it as PRND432 or should i send it back and have PRNDS put back on?
thanks in advance

That is one of the great things about the guys at VAST they are not going to rest until you are 100% happy. They don't just take your money and run if you have the littlest thing you are looking for they will make sure they can do it for you.
The file is easy to install. I was A PITA with my wife's S8 I wanted it to shift harder then softer then WAY harder they never complained once they even sent a file to me in Florida when I was on vacation with my wife (even tho I live just a few miles away from them

hey Joe
I got sick with the flu and been home sicne Thursday night, just saw all the posts...
I had an appointment at my shop today to take care of a few things including the tip chip but had to cancel due to the flu.
I am almost glad i did now... You seem to be having several issues. I definitely don't want my car to shift for me in TIP or the screen to change or go from TIP to D...
HOW do you load the file VAST sends??? And if it loadable bu user [or a local shop], then why go through the orginal hassle to ship your chip to them and have your car immobilized for a few days when first buying the chip?
Please let us know how it goes later when you've loaded the new file...
VAST is great, I have no doubt it'll work out.

ok got off the phone with him at about 530... he said i have an (s-line) a6 which has different programming on the trans computer ... i reproggrammed vagcom to 01032 (everyone with an s-line edition shoudl do this if you have an s-line edition dont use 00032 ... he wrote a custom file and everything should be good on thurs when i get the file ... prince said call him up and hell walk me through the program which isnt hard (according to prince and another member who wrote on this thread) so im excited for thursday and to finally get this thing in and working ... its not so bad because i scheduled some other upgrades during this time so i wouldnt have had a car anyway
BTW DPs were a pain in the ass to install
