Agree with this to an extent. The audience is clearly the plug-and-play-set-it-and-forget-it crowd, I feel that has been APR's bread and butter for years now. The valet option on the MKV was handy though if you were going to let a friend borrow the car or something and didn't want all that power on tap for a novice driver.
We don't charge customers to change tunes. Some dealers don't either. We intend to bring at home flashing to market in several forms and are actively working on it.
Not sure if you really stole our tune or not, but there are no word games in my post. Go re-read my post. The stock tune does not use the knock adaptation. We do. The factory simply uses a heavy pull and long delay. We use a sensible one because we're properly using the knock adaption, again, which the factory does not use. We don't use mini-pulls / quick decays like many do. We do not de-sensitize the knock sensors either. We add LSPI protection events as well.
So wait, he was in a hurry to get a tune while he was still under warranty? Genius.
If I’m buying used. I would’ve left the car alone for at least a year before modding cuz u just never know.
It is 100% their audience - folks here seem to miss that part. These type of features aren't critical to them selling their product as others have that market taken care of. It's always nice to have all options but from a business standpoint, it doesn't make any sense if that only gains them a few sales b/c then you are spending money to compete with companies (like the Cobb AP folks - EQT for example) that have that market cornered effectively. To me the value would be a flex option like United and IE.
Each day that passes the car gets incrementaly less reliable at some point so folks wait for years to mod b/c of the warranty but in fact they would best to mod from a reliability standpoint as soon as possible to take advantage of the fact that the car is in it's most reliable state/least worn early in it's life.
I feel this is the way to go also. Don't wait to enjoy the car.
buT mUh waRRAnteeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Does that standpoint really exist when buying used? Cuz to me it doesn’t. U dunno wtf the last guy did. U dunno how he treated the car. And qualifying for cpo status really isn’t hard or expensive either
