[Guy_H]

Good news! Golf R & Scirocco R program switching has been released. Thanks for all the questions guys. Here's the info.


APR is pleased to present EMCS Program Switching for the MK6 Golf R / Scirocco R!

Product Page

APR’s patented EMCS, Enhanced Modular Chipping System, brings selectable programs and features to your factory ECU, all without the need to purchase external hardware. There are no adaptation tricks or marketing gimmicks involved - EMCS is unlike anything else in the market. EMCS has the ability to rewrite the operating map data, giving each map new and specific calibration for increased performance. EMCS is available at any APR Stage.

APR’s EMCS features and program modes are activated via your cruise control buttons while the engine is off. When the engine is started, the cruise control continues to operate and function normally.

Program Switching:

Program switching allows the user to cycle though up to four different engine calibrations and operating modes all without the need for external hardware.

Stock Mode:

By selecting stock mode, the ECU calibration is reduced to factory load levels, limiting performance.

Performance Modes:

APR's octane-specific calibrations are available for various premium and race fuels around the world. Each performance mode is a completely new calibration, altered specifically for the characteristics of the fuel quality selected. Currently available octanes are 95/98/104 RON in the rest of the world. In some situations, APR supports higher 104 (R+M)/2 octane race fuels at Stage 2+ and Stage 3+ power levels. Perfect for anyone who wants to run race gas for the weekend drags or track event.

Valet Mode:

APR's Valet Mode protects your vehicle from becoming an expensive toy for unauthorized individuals. By enabling Valet Mode, the vehicle's engine and top speed will be greatly limited.

Security Lockout:

Security lockout prevents unauthorized individuals from using APR's EMCS functionality. When enabled, APR's EMCS features will appear completely invisible until a user specified 2 to 4-digit security code is entered.

How to use APR EMCS Programs and Features:



1. Enabling EMCS:
Turn the ignition and cruise control on, but don’t start the engine.

2. Unlocking the ECU:
This is only necessary if Security Lockout is enabled.
Enter your security code to unlock the ECU. “SET” is used to enter a digit and “CANCEL” is used to register a digit. Enter each digit by clicking the “SET” button the number of times corresponding to the digit, then use “CANCEL” to register the digit. Do this for each digit and the CEL and EPC light will flash to indicate the ECU is unlocked. The ECU will remain unlocked unless you lock it again.

3. Switching Programs:
Hold “SET” on the cruise control stalk. The CEL will blink in set of one to four blinks to indicate programs one through four. Release “SET” during this sequence to select a program. Turn off the ignition, turn it back on and wait for the CEL and EPC to stop blinking before starting the engine.

4. Locking the ECU:
Hold “RESUME” and the CEL will blink in sets of one to three blinks to indicate features one through four. Release “RESUME” when the CEL is flashing in groups of three pinks per second. The EPC and CEL will blink to indicate the ECU is locked.

Pricing

APR’s EMCS Programs and Features are including in the retail price of $1495-00 including GST & Installation.

Existing customers can upgrade to a fully loaded ECU for a $250-00 including GST & Installation.

This is a direct port upgrade and is available at all APR dealers Australia & New Zealand wide. To find an APR dealer, please visit APR - High Performance Development for Audi, VW and Porsche Vehicles.

Oh, Edition 35 Golf GTI is next along with S3's & TTS's

Nice work, have mine booked in next Friday to get it done

One question though, which fuel do you recommend for the 104 RON program? This is what I have to choose from :
Unleaded Fuels

Also what are your thoughts on running the 104 program using WMI and 98? And also running it using both race fuel and the WMI?

Thanks

[Guy_H]

Good stuff Lazarus,

On those fuels, the Sunoco GT + 260 is the go, it's actually what the US calibrates on and what we test on here in QLD. It's also more cost effective than the ELF Performo 105.

There is a Sunoco distributor in WA too.

The file will work with 98 + meth, but we don't recommend it (water methanol injection). At those timing advance levels and WOT, a millisecond without meth will be a dead engine (plus not street legal) - you won't have this issue with 104 ron race fuel.

[Lazarus7]

Great thanks for that Guy

Sorry to bring back on old thread but,

Do Australian APR dealers generally put tunes in order of 93/95/98 or 95/98/104 on Golf R's?

Unfortunately varies dealer to dealer. - generally we don't load 104 unless requested. In QLD our standard order is STOCK/95/98/VALET.

[rodders]

Had this done yesterday after debating with myself the warranty issue. Less than 5000kms on car.

Love it!

Mine was STOCK/95/98/VALET.

[vinh]

Right, thanks for that guys.

I must admit I forgot to ask at the time.

It doesn't make sense to me to put a 93 tune when my car takes 95 as minimum?

Maybe mine is Stock/95/98/Valet, I'll call tomorrow and as again.

Also Guy, apparently I was supposed to get an email from APR after my tune, is this true?

[rodders]

Vinh , I got an email before the tune was even finished while waiting.

It gives you instructions as to use and tells you what programme is on what number.

Also has your details for future contact re updates, warranty etc.
