Default Chip Upgrade Durability

I have started a thread on the 2.0TFSI forum at audiworld because I was curious how many miles some people have put on their cars while it is chipped. If you have a chipped car and could reply, I would appreciate it. If you aren't a member of the audiworld forums please reply here...I'd like to see as many replies as possible. I think this information would be interesting for all readers.

Thank you

I have APR in my GTI and love it.


My wifes birthday is the 10th and she had a choice of presents. She chose the Diamond Earings over the APR chip for her Audi. Her loss.

do you guys have to send the ECU to APR to have them install the chip?

I believe sending the ECU in is an option, but you can also drive your car to a local dealer and have them do it while it is still on the car.

Yeah, they just plug a computer into your OBD II port and reprogram the ECU.

When I got it done I didn't pay for labor... just tax on the price. I guess there must be some labor built in already. :/
