Ecu question ***

[Messerb7]

Hey guys pretty stupid question someone just gave me a stage 1 ecu for my daily driver I said well hell why not add some extra ponies for free. it was for a manual, my daily is tiptronic. Same b7a4 as my daily just only difference is that it's manual, should I have a problem throwing this ecu in my car? Please shine some light haha. I should know this stuff. Anyway thanks AZ

You can't just swap ECUs. Even if everything else was the same the immobilizer won't allow the car to start.

So what do I have to go to an Audi dealership then ? Or can I just go to my friends shop and have them help me out. Audi specialists. I can do my own wrenching but when it's electronics... I'm kinda clueless.

APR remaps the whole ECU so that you can't just copy the tune. A dealer won't copy an Apr tune for you either. Maybe someone with winOLS could remove the immobilizer from the Apr ECU but it won't be easy.
