My friend has the program and he hooked it up to my car but it wouldn't make any changes to my ecu. He said he spoke with someone who said they don't make the program for my car but its not like i have a new car. Does anyone know about this?

 

Im pretty sure V-Tune was a Volkswagan only product through APR. I am not aware of this being offered on your B5 or any others like the B6 or B7. I did a quick search on their website www.goapr.com and was able to find information under their VW section but not the Audi section.

 

My friend downloaded something on the apr website for audi, but nothing worked after.

 

Well as far as I know you have to get a chip soldered to the ECU for the 2001 like the previous years. It's not like the later ones where you can just reprogram it. So I seriously doubt you can just hook something up to it and change the program.

 

I completely thought the oppoiste. I could've sworn they just download it but i could definately be wrong. The Ecu is on the driver side right?

 

My 99.5 is a soldered on version. Later on they have a version that isnt but I do not know what the cutoff year is.

 

oh well i have an 01 if that makes a difference

 

01 is flash only as far as I know so it would have something downloaded to it

 

my 01 was sent out to be soldered

 

Really, did you have multipul programs??? or just one, cuz i didnt think they had to solder them for the 00, 01
