GIAC software for non drive-by-wire 1.8T and 30 valve 2.8L A4s is now OBD2 port flashable! In addition to convenient, fast and reliable flashing, GIAC is proud to announce full switching capabilities for the non drive-by-wire 1.8T ECUs as well (2.8L will be available soon). Our basic pump gas software will now have options that are switchable on the fly that include 100 octane performance, stock, valet and kill modes. There will be two switching options to change programs with. The first is our Handheld Flashloader Switcher, which enables the user to switch on the fly without the need for a laptop on hand. A second option is our software switcher which will be downloadable on the GIAC website shortly. This software requires a computer and an OBD2 cable connection (vag-com or similar that has a K-Line functionality). At this time, the software switcher will only be functional via a USB cable (<B>EDIT: Handhelds WILL be available at Waterfest and are NOW available for order at all GIAC dealers</B>, *NOTE: nDBW cars use a special handheld, they are not compatible with all GIAC handhelds*). This will later include serial cables as well.

Flashloaded software and all of the options will be available on-site at Waterfest 14 at an introductory MSRP of $300.00 for the non drive-by-wire 1.8T and $250.00 for the non drive-by-wire 30 valve 2.8L pump gas programs! An additional 10% off will be available on all of the optional switching modes we have available. If you are one of the few who does not have GIAC software, it is time to get flashed!

For current customers who wish to upgrade from their socket files to the newly upgrade flash files, they can do so with GIAC ECU Service found here: http://www.giacusa.com/customer_ecu_service.php. Please note, as a manufacturer, we do not sell to the public and all new flashes will still need to be purchased from one of our many great authorized dealers. ECU Service is for existing GIAC users only.

We currently have K03 and K04 (5 bar and PC16) software available.

Currently, the bill rate is $100.00 plus return shipping. This is subject to change.

BSK

and that will be with switching options?

I might have to email or call you about that.

I initially chipped it at Waterfest 9 in 2003, and its a socketed GIAC ECU done by AWE Tuning. Got 100 octane programming for that? If so it may be worth it for me since I track a lot....

ModifiedA4

you'd convert it to flash for $100? what do we need to switch programs on DBW?

oc-drop

I was able to get all the programs flashed yesterday on my A6 ('99 AHA-2.8) - first one ever! I'm going try out the 100 tomorrow =)

If the current chip costs $495 installed, and they paid $495 installed years ago, then it should be free. Otherwise, you're charging them $595 total to get what a current customer is getting for $495.

Not a fair way to treat "old" customers, especially since it is those customers that made GIAC what it is today.

ModifiedA4

especially since poeple "might" want to purchase more programs "while they're at it".
