    Unitronic DL501 DSG TCU software....

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    I apologize if this is a repost but I just received an email from Unitronic (I subscribe to most tuners websites for news) and it gave this link to their new DL501 TCU programming...

    https://www.getunitronic.com/news/Un...rade-for-DL501
    ...............


    Unitronic is pleased to present its Performance Software for the DL501® (S-tronic®) DSG®*. Unitronic's Performance Software Upgrade for the Transmission Control Unit (TCU) is flashable via the OBD-2 port of the vehicle and is calibrated alongside its already released ECU Performance Software to ensure a harmonious operation. Unitronic Performance Software for the TCU is also UniConnect+ compatible.

    What you may experience with your stock DSG software

    As with previous generations and other variants of the DSG, ECU Performance Software and engine hardware upgrades resulted in shortcomings in the stock control logic; gear change setpoints, gear shift speeds, limitations in allowed torque through the gearbox, engine rev limitations, and much more; all stemming from the increase in engine output. In Drive-mode, drivers often experience premature upshifts as a result of the stock calibration being aligned with the factory engine output. In Sport-mode, part throttle acceleration held the gears too long, causing an awkward driving experience. In Drive-mode and/or Sport-mode, shift points are often misaligned with peak engine output, costing drivers with imperfect acceleration. And Manual-mode is not a true “manual” mode, as gear changes still occur at redline and engagement of the kickdown button still result in unwanted downshifts.


    Why choosing Unitronic Performance Software for your DSG

    Utilizing its extensive knowledge of the TCU from its offerings for previous generations and other variants of the direct-shift gearbox, that developed a strong reputation in the market, Unitronic's Performance Software for the DL501 DSG will deliver a complete night and day driving experience. With two Stages, Stage 1 & 2, Unitronic's Performance Software for the DL501 DSG is precisely re-calibrated to ensure shift points in Drive-mode and Sport-mode are aligned with increased output and powerband of a Unitronic tuned engine to ensure maximum acceleration, deliver lightning fast gear changes to gain valuable time during acceleration, and raises TCU torque limitations to ensure the TCU does not intervene during acceleration. Unitronic's Performance Software for the DL501 DSG will allow drivers to feel more connected to the vehicle and will experience a total transformation in the driving experience.

    Improved Launch Control

    Optimized set points to maximize accelerations and improve 60ft time. Launch control set to 4000 RPM in the B8/B8.5 S4 & S5.

    Rev Limiter Increased


    Increase Clutch Pressure for Higher Torque Output

    Increased clutch pressure to maximized friction force. This results in higher torque capacity without clutch slipping.

    Increased Torque Limiter

    Ensure TCU does not intervene during acceleration thus reducing engine power output.

    How does this compare to the TCU tunes that other vendors offer?

    I tried to purchase it directly from Unitronic Yesterday, Guy who answered took all my credit card information and 24 hours later still no charge on my card. Personally I think they themselves are overwhelmed by the release. If you really want it you may have to wait or get directly from a dealer who will charge you extra for the installation time.

    Didn't they say 24-48 hours to process everything and get it on your account? I've been running it for a few weeks now and feel it's a great compliment to stage 2.

    I think 48 business hours closed on Saturday. I'm waiting, I flashed to stock for inspection today and will wait till Monday afternoon until I start to get concerned. The hard part is driving to work with stock tune no good, been driving today with the gutless stock and I miss the tune. It reminded me of o contractor that went to lunch with me that drove a S5 and was impressed with the tune.

    Just a reminder that after flashing the TCU you must re flash the ECU also I was told this more than once during the purchase but just like you I am playing the waiting 48 Hours game so I am thinking by Wednesday we should be good.

    Thanks for the interest, everyone! We've had great feedback from our Clients since the launch! For those adding our TCU Performance Software with UniConnect+, we've communicated with everyone by email and/or phone to retrieve the necessary information to add the software license to your account. If, by chance, we don't have tuned files already compiled and on our server for your TCU ID and Rev#, we're working to get them online and will be in touch with you once they're ready to go. As always, if anyone has any questions, please feel free to email me at john [at] unitronic [dot] ca.
