Auto vs Dynamic Mode with Stasis V2

[AKPS4]

Its clear that there is a huge power difference when driving in Auto mode vs Dynamic with the V2 Stasis Tune. Does anyone know if when in Auto Mode the car is running under factory tune settings? Or what is the difference between the Auto vs Dynamic as far as the noticeable power difference? Its been this way since i got the tune but never really asked about it and with all the rumors/talk floating i'd like to know more. After getting the tune i drove around in dynamic so much i completely forgot what the stock tune felt like and now cant compare to the current Auto mode feel. I actually started to drive around in Auto mode a lot, particularly because of all these rumors around and enjoy dynamic mode at the right times.. traffic conditions, where i am going, who's in the car, etc.

is this similar for you other guys with APR and GIAC tunes?

Wait you mean Audi drive select settings? They don't have anything to do with the tune, nothing is being reset to factory settings and the engine ECU doesn't see this stuff. Since it's drive by wire, I'd assume the MMI settings adjust the parameters of some filter from pedal position to throttle input. If you mash the gas in dynamic, then you probably get instantaneous WOT, while in comfort, the input is filtered and gradually reaches WOT.

Yea, its certainly noticeable in that if i am just cruising at 30 and go half throttle in Auto vs half throttle in Dynamic there is a big difference in the acceleration, particularly when going 3/4 to full throttle and getting the RPMs closer to redline because you can feel the car keep pulling and pulling in Dynamic mode but not so much in Auto.

All i am doing is pressing the switch. In the MMI i have all the settings set to Dynamic.

You are probably in sixth gear in auto @ 30 mph and like 4th in dynamic. Auto sucked in stock and still sucks with stasis.

He has 6MT...

No worries, it wasn't really clear unless you checked the sig. IMO, the DSG has really the biggest dependency on ADS (steering too), if I had 6MT I'd probably just always leave it on individual. If I'm driving for 30 mi of 75 MPH traffic, it just doesn't make sense to stay in 6th, and I prefer not to paddle shift in traffic.

Are you sure its not just a difference in power delivery you're noticing instead of power output? Since the throttle is mapped more aggressively so it takes a smaller stab on the go pedal to feel the power?

[AKPS4]

hmm, i'll have to try this out more carefully but i really feel that there is such a significant power difference. i wont if anyone without a Tune can tell any difference between the two modes.

The acceleration is significantly quicker for sure.

I notice a difference when switching ADS on a stock car. The car is drive by wire, so changing from "auto" to "dynamic" just means that the throttle response as a function of pedal position is better. It is conceivable that Stasis only changes power delivery after the throttle exceeds a certain value, such as 80%. If so, then I would be wrong (although indirectly), but I don't think they have their software adapt to MMI settings since people w/o ADS would be SOL...

I have noticed a huge difference as well. It is just more noticeable after Stage 2.

[AKPS4]

Got it. Thanks.

I feel like it is different in between auto and dynamic as well. APR Stg I V2. Seems liks dynamic is just more powerful overall and auto is a just a little more lazy all around.

Do you notice the difference under WOT, or just the general transient response?

[Seis-Speed]

I notice the opposite, in Dynamic I have better power. I played with it extensively yesterday after seeing your thread.

[MrFunk]

I noticed less of a difference after the tune. However, no the car is not running the factory settings in auto. It is just not as responsive as in dynamic.

I have to agree I drove quite a bit this weekend and it's certainly a noticeable power difference through most of the RPM range. I didn't do WOT to redline though.
