RE: chip question..
APR makes a program for their chips that involves the cruise control stalk. The program allows you to put it in valet mode, or stock mode, all involving messing with the cruise control stalk. So if your car also seems like its not running to its full potential this could be why. Check out their website for more info.

RE: chip question..
I'd put 93 Octain gasin it just to be safe and if you hear any pinging under acceleration then let off the gas and take it easy. It would suck to have 93 oct in the tank with the racing gas program loaded. I'd load program one just to be safe. I would assume that most people would have program oneset to either stock or 93 oct.As you learn what each program does be sure to write it down. 
You probably already know this but here it is again just-in-case.

APR has taken your cruise control buttons and utilized them for this function. Your cruise control will continue to function as normal, but will give you the ability to scroll through the programs you have purchased on your APR chipped ECU. The procedure is simple and involves only two steps.
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 go off, and you will be locked in that program until you change it.
