CVT in Tip mode seems to have better response than Auto Tip but then you miss out on Quattro

You can disable kickdown while in tip mode with vag com.. So if you are in tip mode in 2nd gear and you floor it you wont go into 1st and redline. I HAD to do it to mine it was getting so annoying.
I'll need to get the code for that, didn't know it can be disabled by VAG..thx for the tip onepoint8tee

Yeah the long shift delay in tip mode is VERY annoying...can't wait for a company to come up with a chip for it

VAG = Volkswagen Audi Group, Vag-com is a tool used to find out codes and other changes to factory default settings, http://www.ross-tech.com/vag-com/index.html click on link for more info

do the b7's still have that extra little click in the gas peddle for downshifting... if they do then give it full gas without clicking the bottom thing, then you wont downshift

hey watsup sorry bout the race, BMW suck ***.
Listen your car shifted down in 3rd gear while driving after you pressed full , becasue you hit the kick down button at the bottom. If you press full without the kick down the car will not shift down.

But still i have the same opinion like you bout the tiptronic transmission.

Yeah, great suggestion dude. Makes sense, can't believe I didn't think to research it myself. When I'm at the track, it's annoying 'cause I'll want to floor it, but I can't "floor" it without kicking down a gear...so I'll end up being around 90-99% throttle and trying not to trip the switch, when I SHOULD be worrying about that big blue wall 200 feet away. :-)

Any specifics on how to do it, or should I just STFA? Never used a VAGcom before, I'll try looking someone up in my area that has one. Anyone in Rochester NY with a VAGcom want a free case of beer?
