performance chip
I purchased a 2001 a4 1.8t quattro some time back and the previous owner told me that he had a performance chip installed and to activate it i need to use the cruise control lever until the check engine light starts blinking fast. Ive done this but i cant really tell is its actually activated or what... does anyone know how i can find out for a fact if there is one installed and if its active... or has anyone ever dealt with a chip that is activated the way i just described?... thanks

he didnt say the manufacturer he did show me how to turn it on by turning on the cruise control lever. by holding the on switch until you see the check engine light flashing slowly that means its deactivated, keep holding it until it starts flashing fast that means it activated. i do this but i dont feel a difference... so i dont know if he was just using the chip as a sales pitch or if im just doing it wrong. thats why i wanna know if anyone has ever come across any like this before.

How EMCS Works
Step 1
Press and hold the "set" button on your cruise control. After approximately five seconds, the "check engine" light on your dash will begin to blink once per second. This will tell you that you are activating program one. This blinking sequence will continue for approximately five seconds.
After this five second interval, the "check engine" light will begin blinking twice per second. This will indicate that you have activated the second program. This process is continued to access any remaining programs you may have purchased. (three blinks = program three, four blinks = program four).
Step 2
Once you have activated the desired program, simply release the "set" button. The "check engine" light will stop flashing. Turn the ignition key off for 10 seconds, turn the key back on, and you will be locked in that program until you change it again.
It's that simple.
Available Features
APR's EMCS is a truly modular system that allows for future enhancements and features to be added as they are developed without the need for additional hardware. EMCS makes the following advanced features possible:
Program Switching Enables you to swap between two or more engine programs using the cruise control stalk. All cars have stock and standard chipped program versions available. Valet, race-gas, and other specialty programs are available for most models.
Fault Code Erase/Throttle Body Alignment (FCE/TBA) Fault Code Erase allows you to erase and reset engine related trouble codes without having to use a specialty tool. Throttle Body Alignment allows you to manually perform throttle-body adaptation.
Security Lockout Prevents unauthorized personnel from accessing EMCS functions. The user may select any 2 to 4 digit security code. The security code is entered using the cruise control buttons.
Anti-Theft You can render your car immobile to thieves, even if there is an attempt to start the car with your own key! For more information about Anti-Theft, click here.
