    Can you help me find the previous owner of my S5 in Manchester, CT?

    Hey all - I recently bought an S5 and it has a tune on it. The only issue is I don't know what tune and I can't seem to figure it out. I have taken it to a few shops and none of them say it's their code. Does anyone know who owned this car or any details on it? The only modifications as far as I can tell are tint, the RS grille and the tune. I have tried calling the previous dealerships to get details and they said no. I have been in contact with Revo, APR, GIAC and Unitronic and all of them said it's not theirs. See picture and Carfax below. The only thing I want is to figure out what tune it is so if someone could help me figure that out (and what shop did it so I can get a receipt) I'd appreciate it.



    Thanks in advance for any help!

    Have you checked in the MMI? In the telephone directory there is a entry called "Home" and the previous owner may have his/her name and number listed there if they didn't wipe it. If I'm not mistaken there is somewhere else in the MMI that also has owner info,,again if it wasn't wiped. hope this helps. good luck!

    Good call! I can check the phone directory too - or bluetooth known devices. Doing that now. Thanks!

    Edit: they wiped everything. I guess if you're enough of an enthusiast to get a tune you're smart enough to erase your info from the car.

    You could contact the dealers that are listed as having serviced the car and request the records. I did this when I bought my RS and what they sent had previous owners name, address, and even phone #.
