Cant see it happening here in Aus for some time, but would definately not be good.

(groan)...that's all we need -- digital rights management for ECUs :(

Still, they might try, but they may not succeed :rolleyes:

I doubt it, most of the good chips already pass emissions anyway.

MTM and OETTINGER have TUV approval for their chips/programmes. check their website.

"3. TUV -- Since we are not disassembling, changing components, or modifying any hardware on the vehicle there is no need for TUV approval." :?

Hmmm, at least they are thinking about it

Thanks and hope to hang around for a while, if you will have me. I can help any of our members nationally with financing or purchasing New or Used VW's as I spent 2.5yrs at VW in Melbourne in finance. Good honest contacts if anyone needs help, just give me a shout out!

Cheers.
