what are you asking exactly? Do you have multiple programs and are trying to switch back to the 93 or 91 octane program?

Well, I'm not familiar with the GIAC software. I had the APR stuff and with that you switched the programs by holding down on the button on one of the stalks.

It sounds like you need to install the correct drivers for that ECU to Computer connection. I would try to get in touch with the guys at GIAC.

Do you use the GIAC Flashloader to switch programs?

check GIAC web site <a href="http://www.giacusa.com/flashloader_handheld.php">here</a>

Are you using a new ross-tech cable? If so you probably need to put int into "dumb" mode.

Are you using Windows 7? If so, the GIAC flashloader will not work. Downloan new version of VAG-COM and reinstall the driver. Use windows XP if possible. You should not need dumb mode. Check that vag com can connect and log. If so then verify the flashloader program will "read" the GIAC chipped ECU. It should show in dark black what programs you have. (mine has pump gas and race gas, no stock or valet mode). If the text is black press the button.
