2015/2016 Locked ECU's how much longer??

[VWTURBOFAM]

Some of the '15s had locked ECUs, too.

Yes, post March 2015 ECU's. What I meant was 2016 Year Cars with Post 2015 ECU's.

Example: I have a 2016 GTI w/ PP, but my ECU Date is June 2015.

Yes, your vehicle has made the cut and will be port flashable. This is only possible at any of our 450 or so dealers around the world. Just type in your address here for details and directions: www.goapr.com/dealer/

Awesome. ECS Tuning in Wadsworth is where I plan on going. This is where I had my APR Stage 1 tune for my MKIV GTI and get all my parts. Thanks Arin.

how can you tell on a 15 if your ecu is locked b4 you pay for a tune?

My car was delivered in June and the label on the ECU states May 2 2015. Eurodyne , APR and all of the others are not able to be flashed after March 2015 ECU date. JB1 which is a piggyback system is the only alternative, however APR has a solution coming out very soon. JB1 is a great alternative but I wanted a full tune like I have on my MKIV GTI. So I have been patiently waiting.

If you want APR, just wait a couple days and it will not matter.

Seriously? Couple of days? Official realease?

With the release of the '16 software coincide with the updated stage 2 software for the Golf R or is that a seperate release?

I see APR dealers being very busy next week all of a sudden

No, unfortunately. Not yet. There are a few more things they want to add first.

Ok cool. Don't mind waiting because I know you guys thoroughly test everything to make sure there's no issues. And I'm assuming when you say adding things you're talking about program switching and E85.

Thanks Arin for keeping us all up to date. Finally put this to rest regarding the ECU encryption!
