"For all of you Haldex owners, follow us on social media for the latest information on our ground-breaking Lockdex, to be released in 2017."
Obviously they want to keep it a secret. I wouldn't buy it because they're in effect saying you're not worthy of knowing what it is. I'm guessing its expensive.

Or maybe they just want the final product done before giving too much info away.

Probably hardware piece that adds locking to the Haldex to alter the ratio (for "oversteery" behavior?) They should do it for VAQ, there's a big demand there too for added fun.
Best speculation though goes to locking the Haldex in place onto the chassis with a bracket and some bolts.

I couldn't imagine how awful it would be to have a spool in a FWD or AWD vehicle.
I just don't see what their product can possibly do for us. Our Haldex reacts in milliseconds. In Sport mode the clutches apply on deceleration. What more can you ask for? Well, mechanically locking front and rear diffs but that has nothing to do with the center diff.

IF I would see any need improving things I'd do both front and rear
differentials first. But even that is a matter which comes way after
tires, dampers, sway bars and suspension bushes. Anyways a Golf R
isn't an offroad vehicle requiring full-lock differentials all around and
it will never be.

How are you going to stop the front axles from turning?

Easy, remove those suckas. Weight reduction bro
I thought of that. You would need to get another set of axles (if you want to preserve the originals), break the CV joints near the hubs, and machine the stumps and balance them. I think. Then you can remove the Haldex and have a driveshaft made to bridge the gap. You'll need to code out at least the AWD. After all this expense you'll be rewarded with...a slower car.
