Default Dropping S5 Cab off for the StaSis ECU Flash tomorrow

The exhaust for the S5 Cab is not ready yet so that will have to be done in a month or two.

Drove an S4 with the chip and exhaust and it was definitely a changed car.

Takes about a week, hopefully less.

Really? I bought my A5 from them and asked them twice about ECU programs. Both times they said no.

If they are now doing this are they going to enable the dynamic/comfort steering, throttle and suspension options for you via the Vag Com

Seriously thinking about having mine done. Please let us know what you think after the chip. How are they handling the warranty? I don't have a local installer. My Audi dealer said they wouldn't honor the warranty if chipped.

Default No warranty issues.

StaSis warranty is 4 year 50K and having it done by my dealer results in the factory warranty not being an issue.

I have Drive Select so the dealer doesn't have to do anything via the VAG.

BTW, I have a VAG cable and am planning on turning on my voice command and a few other things when I get the car back next week.

Schaumburg Audi is a certified StaSis dealer as of this month. So I'd call them again with regards to your A5. They currently have an A4 with the full StaSis Touring package. Looks really nice.

Default 1 hour of labor and I think 1495 for the flash.

It might be 1595. Not sure at the moment. Same price for the new exhaust + 1.3 hours labor.

That's not entirely correct. Stasis warranty is basically acting as a secondry warranty. When a car goes in for repairs, Audi will assess the situation and what caused the failure, if Audi rejects the claim citing the problem is caused by the modifications done to the car, Stasis will then pick up the repair bill.

With that said, the crew over at the S4 forum has raised an interesting point about this, potentially there exists the possibility of a dispute between Audi and Stasis on what caused the failure, should that were to happen, will the owner be left without a car while waiting for them to sort it out ? Also, what if Stasis goes under and Audi voids and denies the warranty ?

Default That's all true

But I choose to not worry about all the what ifs in life. Nothing is EVER without some risk.
