Default FYI (for such conversions) you will need the Profile for your actual ECU being used

regardless of what car you have. For instance, we put a T-box ecu into an M-box car, and we needed to use the T-box profile from APR. Just FYI incase some of you have different ECUs for one reason or another

btw, it looks like they only sell USB - I only mentioned Serial/USB for those that already have them

So you're saying he would need an A-box profile since he has a A-box ECU with M-box code?

Default as avantS4 asks below.....

if I have an actual A box ECU with an M box program (displays 551M on VAG), I'll need an A box profile? or an M?

No sense of the potential price point yet?

Thanks for trying to set this up!

Seems like you'd need M to me :/

Default Does the USB cable offer faster sample rates?

I'd ask APR, but when I bought my ECUx the guy who sold it to me (@ APR) said I "had to" use <i>their</i> cable.

As soon as I read the help file I knew that wasn't true... I'm hoping there's some benefit to the USB cable I now have.

wait.... did you replace your entire ECU with an M box, or is there an M program inside your H ECU?
