Yeah can someone list them?
I haven't had any issues (that I know of) and my car has ran great with the tune. Im glad they fixed the issues but I was hoping it would be faster. Lol. Guess I need to go to stage 2 for that.

The updated tune I received was to fix EPC/limp mode issues that could happen during 'spirited' driving in higher gears

From what my tuner told me when I went in to get v2.2 was that a lot of the surge and overboosting (which wouldn't necessarily cause limp mode, but would starve the turbo and cause unnecessary wear) was fixed as well.
As a result, the low end has slightly less boost at low RPMs, but the delivery is a lot more linear.

When did you get v2.2? I believe I was updated with v2.0 a few weeks ago.
I wish there were public announcements from APR when there are updates available. Not like they capture our email address or anything when we buy the software in the first place...

Last week on Friday. My tuner was reading a release e-mail from APR about the v2.2 update which should "officially" release this week from APR (I assume with an official announcement).
But, it was already on their servers when I went in for an update, so I happened to get v2.2 then.

V2.2 is not officially released from us yet because not all of the file are online. If you want it, wait till we make an announcement or you may go home empty handed.

Did you get the confirmation email? What file did it state you got?

I'm confused. Last week my APR tuner confirmed that v2.2 is available for my box code and I'm scheduled for the upgrade tomorrow. Arin, are you saying that I should wait for the official APR announcement? What are the specific changes over the last version?
Thanks
Thanks
I don't think I recieved any confirmation email. Just an email to accept the APR conditions or waiver type deal. I did recieve the APR access key email that's it.
I did recieve a receipt with the applied tune saying version 2.2 as well. But nothing that looked to official.

It may be on the servers but APR has not officially announced it yet. Arin is saying that before you run to your tuner to get the upgrade, wait until the official announcement so that you can be 100% sure it is available to all cars.
The official "release" is really just an announcement that it's fully deployed, not an actual change if you happened to get v2.2 already. Right now it's probably in a state of partial deployment where not all files have been uploaded yet.
Sorry if I'm answering for Arin here but that is all you get. The only "official" thing will be an announcement from APR about the release of v2.2.
If you happened to get it before the "official" announcement then you just got lucky and got the official release version before they announced it....
