Default questions about tuning my 14' A4

Is it possible to chip my 2014 A4? I am confused if its not out for the 14 yet, only for previous years.

Also has anyone herd of this working

It would be awesome if I could get some reviews, however again, with a 2014 year there are probably not many reviews to go off of. Any info would be great. Thanks peeps!

A tune could affect your warranty.

I believe that GIAC and APR are the only tuner for the 2014 model.

There still is not a tune for the '13+ model years as of yet from APR. If you are not a 6MT and you have a metal intake manifold, can run E85, they are currently working on a tune for your car. It should be released in the next few months (best guess).

i have a 14 and looked into it. GIAC is currently the only options, there is a promotion 495 for a reflash. + you will have to pay for labor to ge the ECU bench flashed. I would suggest getting the stock map and handhelp map switcher (another 200usd) that way you can change all of the thresholds back to normal levels before you bring car to dealership, in case they decide to run scan tool on your car, which shouldnt raise any flags. unless something serious happens, then they can dig deeper and will discover flash counter having been updated, etc. anyhow, let me know how you like the reflash if you do it.

I wouldn't be too sure about that. I'm not sure about the GIAC tune although I know someone that got TD1 with an APR tune in "stock mode". They can still see the programming isn't the same.

The counter only come into the picture if you actually have the stock code flashed back into the ECM.
