To be honest the "factory" and "OBD" icons don't seem too terribly intuitive for the purpose. Without explicit instruction, I'm not sure that icon is easily recognizable as "factory." Maybe text "buttons" (outlined in an oval) that read "factory flash" and "OBD flash" would make more sense. This may have been addressed, but is there any reason why DS1 can't support transmission tunes? This is an excellent product. A real benefit to TFSI guys. Keep it up 👌
It was a choice between doing DAZA or 4.0T TCU. Another ECU always wins as we specialise in those. Lots of TCU offerings and you don't need all the ECU features for them. Basically priorities, time and sanity.
@@evorealtime I'm new to this and your answer confuses me. Of course it would be great if DS the company offered an OTS TCU tune like it offers OTS ECU tunes. My question was "is there a reason why DS1, the hardware, isn't able to flash the TCU?" Are you telling me that in order for DS1 to support TCU tuning you could only support ECU tunes of DAZA *OR* 4.0T engines, not both? That because DS1 supports ECU tuning of both DAZA and 4.0T it *CANNOT* at this time support TCU tuning? I think you previously pointed me to the DS1 Facebook group for TCU tune recommendations and you're right, there is lots of good feedback and info there. It would just be really cool if a tuner could email a TCU tune that could be loaded via DS1 instead of the old fashioned laptop and wired OBD connection. And of course even better if DS had its own quality OTS TCU tune. I hope my comment makes sense. Again, this is such a superb product. The more I read about it the more I'm impressed 👌
@@hikeskool I am saying that to offer TCU tuning that is as good and has market leading quality, features and support like our ECU tuning does would take many months to develop and doing so would divert us from the ECU work we are best at. We designed the firmware to handle flashing multiple modules but due to prioritising what we are good at we only plan to flash Bosch ECUs for the foreseeable future. Our next project will be newer Bosch MG1 ECUs and we have no plans to offer TCU tuning. The groups have many third party alternative TCU offerings that work well with our ECU tunes. Had we decided to do TCU tuning it would not have brought something unique to the market and would have displaced doing DAZA ECUs for example. I am certain from the market response that we made the correct choice.
Read through the documentation but this video is very helpful in understanding the idiosyncrasies mentioned in that text. Thank you.
Thank you for the video, this is very helpful and has answered quite a few questions I had.

Im at stage 1, how do I do a cal flash to remove the cylinder on demand from my stage 1 ?
Flash a stage 1 that does NOT have COD in the name.
