That is thanks to Switchleg's work building the patch 'SwitchPatch', which enables a much better traction control system, launch control, map switching, and some other stuff I don't fully understand. But for what you're after, yes on-the-fly map switching is easily available, meaning you can drive down the road on a more economical tune and then see something fun, hop over to your aggressive map, and then go dominate the skreetz. All without ever having to stop driving.

SimosTools allows you to flash from an Android device, SwitchPatch is a patch for the stock BIN file applied using BINToolz.

Appreciate the breakdown. I've been on the FB group absorbing information and reading over the Starter docs. Based on the information there and the the tables that are adjusted it looks like it accounts for the mk7 GTI S50 and the tables based on the first reading looks like it would be acceptable for a IS38 too. I may start playing with the tunes / bins. Don't have a way to test since my engine is eff'ed.

It’s the logical progression once your tune is dialed in. B/c you need something to do.

I fell into the "might as well try some p&b" trap when I tuned my Mk7, as well. Kept them for mayyyybe a week or two? Even with them set to be very mild, I was still embarrassed. Ended up disabling them lol.
