Most people especially on this site wouldn't donate if they could get this for free.

True story!

Actually, speculation.... but even if you are speculating correctly, and I may be speaking for myself when I say this, but I would have donated had it been set up on a real donation basis, not a mandatory donation basis.

True enough. I have no idea who came up with the window's down feature either but I didn't donate anything anywhere there (same goes for DRL disable)..

I can't speak for the past but the only real difference between the tweaks you brought up is that they do not "cripple" the car in anyway as they come from the factory. I'd say what you bring up are "nice-to-haves" and the ESC defeat is more of a "must have" in a track enthuisiasts mind.

But isn't a 'mandatory' donation really just a fee disguised in a pretty package? IE. if you didn't donate $100, you didn't get the code (before it was released for free that is)

Yes.

[GTIVRon]

Why don't we just say that everyone who has already paid funded this guy enough for what he did that everyone else can turn it off now and nobody else bitches and whines about it.

I was all for paying $100, and I guarantee if APR said they'd include ESC off in a tune for $100, everyone with APR software would have opted for it.

Let's just say that the knowledge of knowing how to turn it off is worth $20. Everybody that paid the guy can just say they paid for 4 other people to also get it. Then since you have vag-com charge $20 to do it for locals and make your money back. (I will help the 2 other R's in the area out free of charge. I've vag-com'd many peoples' cars, codes.. logging.. the well known VCDS "mods"... and never charged, because I'm just that way)

Everyone who paid, good for you! Everyone that didn't, you're welcome.

Can we drop this **** now?

[Atl-Atl]

Since everyone seems to agree that we should give credit where credit is due...

Lets not forget the people in the "Quest to bring 2 stage ESP to the US Golf R" thread http://forums.vwvortex.com/showthrea...e-US-Golf-R... did the majority of the legwork for the ESC defeat. Determining that the fix is most likely in the ABS module. They narrowed it down to software coding within the ABS module they just didn't figure out the specific coding. Someone simply gave this information to the dotuning guy and he figured out the specific coding. This was definitely a collaboration and everyone that gave good input deserves credit.

I would never charge to let someone use my vagcom. That's what mandatory donations are for

But if they all found out after that it was a few digit code change via VCDS, they would be pissed!

Exactly lol.

You would be if you gave APR $100...

[Coderedpl]

This **** has gotten out of hand. Wow.

I seriously can't believe this thread has turned out the way it has. It's embarrassing in a sense. This time last week we're all banding together to find a solution and enlisting support from the entire car community. Now we ridicule the guy that brings us a solution, and charges a nominal $100 fee. Stop complaining and go do some donuts because wait...you can now.

Truth is, if it wasn't for him, the other threads would of kept going and all the "figuring out" would of continued, and until someone with knowledge of the coding stepped in, we would of been waiting for VW to act.

I'm glad I bought this car for the car and not for the community because I'm disgusted. This is truly a piss poor showing. The guy fixed a problem for us and now everyone is sh!tting on him because he got some money for his trouble.

Let me say that not all of us feel this way. Taylor, DoTuning, OP, and others associated with fixing the issue please don't think that these whiny turds represent the group as a whole. I paid my money and was happy to do so. Thank you.

I agree with this.

Most people especially on this site wouldn't donate if they could get this for free.

True story!

This is also true. Say this "fix" was "released" without any mention of donation, I really wonder how many people would go to the guy, ask him for his paypal and donate. Not many, if any. It seems that demand for this was rather high anyway. A lot of us were unhappy we couldn't disable it.

I'm too lazy to read back but someone suggested the guy should of posted the info and waited till he gets the payment first then release the "fix". Seeing how much trouble this caused, that plan could potentially mean disaster! Everyone would of complained why 300 people had to cough up 100$ for "such a simple fix"

Did everyone get their code after sending the 100$? Or did you happen to get it and then send the 100$?

After reading a few posts in the intake thread, I'm surprised we dont have a 16 page thread complaining how the VWR intake has high fuel trims #'s and it had a bigger impact on your wallet than this did

[PatientlyWaiting]

This thread has degenerated into typical VWVortex. Thank you.

[stifun]

Whoa.... this thread went from GREATNESS to EPIC FAIL

[GOT R32?]

As someone who has yet to get the car the only thing holding me back from getting the .:R in the springtime was ESC. When I called the customer care line and voiced my displeasure at this issue I also threw out some "fixes". One that I would have had no problems with would have been getting the defeat as an "option". Checking the box for the defeat and paying like $500 from VW would have been a no brainer to me. I'm not the only one who feels this way. This was a make or break issue for a lot of people. Also when I get my car and I get it flashed I also would have paid HPA, APR, UM..... etc to have it done. Dude did this community a sold so why shouldn't he make some $krilla? Maybe APR, HPA etc solved this but they have not released it for what ever reason. While many peeps put in mad work to narrow the culprit down, dude was the first to slam it home! Mad props Homeboy and in the springtime I will kick you down some $$$ to at least buy your favorite 6 pack!

[Professor Gascan]

Does anyone know if this would work on a 2013 Audi A3?

[YoungMedic]

Hey NOTAVR,

If you or your buddy can figure out how to keep my radio on till I take the key out of the ignition I will pay you 100$

Is there any way to use VCDS to code the radio so that it doesn't turn off when the car's ignition is switched off? Currently, say I'm waiting for someone, listening to music via bluetooth, and turn off the ignition, the bluetooth disconnects. I have to power on the radio and wait for the bluetooth to reconnect before I can resume listening (first world problem).

I have the RNS-510, 2012 autobahn.

Do the Changing Instrument to Rest of World (RoW) code only. Ignore the rest unless you want that too.

This worked on my 2012 GTI - the radio and bluetooth will not shut off unless you remove the key

Hmm I think Im already ROW, Ill go double check though

i don't think there's an accessory on the ignition, only off. not 100% sure but on my wifes fit she has a "2 stage " ignition

the RoW thing only works on the nav units i believe

[YoungMedic]

yeah, tried that , no dice

[Time for a GTI]

my wifes fit she has a "2 stage " ignition

Oh sh!t dude. Get on the two stage ignition hack!

LMAO

http://www.goapr.com/support/esp-defeat.html

Now APR magically has the solution too.

oh brother...

Does this rustle your jimmies?

They had it before you did but were under legal obligation to hold the "proprietary" information that VW shared on the DL. Cats out of the bag and the legal obligation is void since APR can prove in court that they did not violate their non-disclosure agreement with VW. Nuff said.

[Thedude4bides]

Haha you crack me up man.
I never had the solution. I don't even own a Golf R.

With that said, LOL. Keep worshiping APR. I heard they love sheep.

Deal

Fwiw, this sheep did his research on APR. I did not research Unitronic when my dealer flashed me when I bought the R. That cost me $600 and and a month of ****ty driving and massive headaches. John at Uni was a total douche by pointing fingers at anything and everything else. Uni customer service was an insult. After that, no fcuking way was I going to mod my car with garbage and believe me when I say I was 110% skeptical of APR. Oddly enough, 30 days came an went without a hiccup. APR had to prove themselves to me and they did. If it make you feel better for ignorantly calling me a sheep... Well, I hope you feel better

Take it to PM guys, I'd like to keep this on topic.

Yup.
