    Will APR make a TCU tune for our A4 B8.5?????

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    Well been doing a lot of research about the Audi A4 b8.5 E888 (DSG/TripTronic) that our Audi will eventually lock the owner out of doing launch control, so this means when the TCU retains count of launching the Audi no more than 200 times the factory programing kicks in on launch controls and kills/quits on performing a correct launch control. Did searches on how to turn off or rest the count on launches, an yet to find any source pointing to a solution besides on buying a new DSG from Audi in which is $$$$$ price.

    So my main question and hopefully get a answer is will APR come out with a TCU tune for out Audi A4 B8/8.5 2.0 like the other TCU tunes DL501 S Tonic TCU and APR DQ250 DSG and S Tonic upgrades?

    Or

    Does anyone have a TCU tune already on a A4 B8.5 Trip Tronic Upgrade?

    I'm not really sure you can program "Launch Control" in the sense of the word on a torque converted automatic. There are no clutch plates to pre-engage.

    Holding the brake pedal down while building some boost for a second before launching is pretty much the most you get.

    well isn't launch control engaged in automatic Audi engines by puting the car in dynamic + s mode + ECS off + left foot on brake + push gas pedal down with right foot = 3k rev launch (launch control)... as in a4 b8.5 only get 200 launches before the launch control option is disabled.

    where can i contact APR???

    I think you've got your information and models mixed up. The S4 has a DSG transmission with the launch control feature that has a capped limit from Audi.
    If you bought your A4 in the USA, you don't have a DSG transmission. You have a standard automatic transmission with a torque converter. There's no limit to how many times you can hold the brake pedal down and launch your car.
