Just made my tune so much easier. I've used a Macbook with Windows Bootcamp installed in the past but it the mobile app makes it so much more seamless. So glad I went with IE for my tune over the other options.
Just completed mine and it's great. This is the way the car should have come from the factory. First gear is much smoother and second gear has a ton of pull. The tune took a little over an hour to apply, so definitely hook up your car to a charger like they recommend. After the tune finished applying, it said to turn off the car, then start the engine. My GTI acted like the battery was dead, but I gave it another 30 seconds and then it started right up. I didn't have any codes that threw after the install.
I'm very interested in buying one of these! I just would like to know how the point system works and all the features it has to offer. I see on the website it has reviews and questions for older tunes, but it only show the leading features for the v4. Nonetheless this device looks awesome.
Credits are just how tunes are purchased through our system. $1.00 = 1 Credit. If you purchase a tune (say Stage 1 and $899, for example), the cable will come with 899 credits loaded to purchase and unlock the tune. In the future, if you decide to upgrade to Stage 2 (say it was $999.00) you only pat the difference, so you would buy 100 credits ($100.00) to make up the difference. Once you use your credits to unlock a tune, you own it and all it's features and octanes for that car forever and it will not cost any credits to flash it again.
I have a 2019 Golf R and use IE. Im not a hater. I like the the tune they provide a lot. But they absolutely dropped the ball on the mobile App. Works terrible and flashes are more likely to fail than to work. Use the computer and you will be in luck
A stable, intuitive, and easy experience app is our main goal, we have a full team of developers on staff constantly improving and working on new app innovations. There are countless devices, constant software updates, and competing apps out there -if you are experiencing any issues, please send in a support ticket so our awesome support team can look into it, debug an y problems, and update the app for everyone. We can only fix problems when made aware of them. You can send a help ticket straight from the app or at performancebyie.com/pages/contact -Thanks!
Make sure no lights are on. That's what causes the battery to go below 11v, and that's y it keeps bugging. This helped me hopefully it will help people in the future.
Which platform? Most tunes are going to be separate, where you will flash the engine tune first, and then the DSG/TCU tune after. The RS6/RS7 platform will flash them both though at the same time.
@@IEtunedI have an Audi A4 B9 and currently have a Revo stage 1 tune. Just purchased your stage 1 tune and was wondering the same. Can I just flash your tune over my previous one or should I go back to stock first using the Revo dealer?
i just ordered ECU stage 2 IE for my audi a4 b9 is on the way , so u mean to tell us you dont need computer to download or install the tune but instead u can do it straight thru app without comouter required?? that would make it so easy and another question is intercooler required for the stage 2 or is only recommended? my plan was to stage 2 tune it first and than after couple week upgrade the intercooler . can i tune it stage 2 with stock intercooler in the mean while???
Yes, the B9 can flash directly from your phone, you can also enjoy the live gauges once connect to our app. Yes, you can get away without having an intercooler for a couple of weeks.
So this will work with all cars you guys work with? Say like if I wanted to flash a 3.2 Audi TT. I wouldn't need to buy the specific powerlink for that or could I just use this?
It depends. Typically a dealer can tell a car has been tuned regardless, so I would just keep that in the back of your mind. Our tune doesn't increase the flash counter, but again, it's possible a dealer can still tell it was flashed at some point.
not sure why but the car refuses to turn over after a completed flash of the stage 2 tune and dsg tune. first time i flashed the stage 2 i had to roll the car back in neutral a couple feet and then it turned over and started in neutral. had to repeat the sam process after just now flashing the dsg tune. not sure if this is due to being parked on an incline while flashing but it is definitely something worth looking into
Hey, make sure you follow all the instructions on the app screen, many platforms require you to cycle the key before starting the vehicle after a flash. If you've done this and still experience this issue, then make sure to send a support ticket in: performancebyie.com/pages/contact -however, this is case is usually from trying to start the car after a flash without cycling the key first.
I’ve got this last week and brought it though a company I’ve updated it and logged it to the car but company is having problems putting the credit on to it meant to be sorted out to day and still nothing no credits driving me nuts as want to try this out
@@IEtunedso if I bought a stage 2 can I use stage 1 in the mean time till my down pipe comes in? And I won’t have to pay for the stage 2 again or anything?
Yes, that is correct. Stage 1 will take a certain amount of credits. When you jump to Stage 2 you'll have the remaining credits left over which you'll use to flash Stage 2 when you install the downpipe.
I was just doing my flash stage 2 high is torque. I did all the updating stuff prior to get to the ECU FIRMWARE. It makes you do this. I have a battery charger connected. I'm getting plenty of charge to my battery and it got to 34% and I looked up and my phone was the tune was back like backed out and the phone's been on my dashboard. Not being touched. I need help ASAP. I have a transmission error says. I have a red triangle help help help. I am dead. I did everything to spec
Please reach out to our sales team, something must've happened during the flashing process. They'll get you all taken care of. Sales@performancebyie.com.
So I just tried to go from my 93 ko4 crackle to 91 ko4 crackle on my 2012 Audi a4 and when it was don’t followed the steps and started but it ran like shit ???
When you flash using your phone, you don't need to use the USB cable at all. It connects through Bluetooth. Then you flash the car and install the tune. Once the flash is done, you can disconnect the Powerlink from the OBD2 port.
if i had an obd-eleven connected and took it of and put on the ie power link and did a tune and take it off the obd and replacing the obd-eleven back will the tune go away?
No it will not. Once the tune is flashed to the ECU, you can remove the Powerlink from the OBDII port and the tune will stay. The tune saves onto the ECU once it is flashed.
okay so let’s say i buy just the IE POWERlink V4 Tune Cable With Mobile Flashing does it come equipped already with enough credits to purchase stage 1?
Bricked my transmission doing this. Cant shift into drive. Car had full battery and was connected to a battery charger. First tune went well, second tune failed and then a bunch of lights came on. I’m at a loss. Very upset. I just spent 16k in mods just to have a bricked car. Should’ve gone jackal

I'm in a 2020 GLI and just installed the trueflex sensor and the hpfp internals. I'm having trouble with flashing the "trueflex install" file. It keeps erroring out on me. I even put my tcu and ecu back to stock and it still won't accept it. Everyone on RUclips that does it looks like they don't even flash the install file. They just go straight to the stage 1 or 2 trueflex high or low torque file? What am i doing wrong here?
Don't flash the TrueFlex install file, you shouldn't need to flash that one. Just flash directly to the stage 1 or stage 2 TrueFlex file that you are wanting to be on. If you continue to have trouble, please reach out to support.

You risk the ECU dying which can create flashing issues. If you are flashing between files it's a much quicker process and it won't typically kill the battery. If you are flashing from stock to the tuned file, we recommend a charger.
Check the serial number on the back of your dongle, if it starts with V4 all you need is to update your Firmware and downlaod the app, find the how-to guide here: ietuned.biz/mobile If you don't own your own dongle or if the serial number starts with V3, all you have to do is purchase a new V4 POWERlink and you'll be all set. (You do not have ot but the tune again, just the dongle).
Credits are how you flash the car. So when you purchase the tune online on our website, it will load the credits to your Powerlink device. Then when you connect your Powerlink and begin flashing, you will use those credits to install the tune.
One thing i learned first time i flashed with the app is do not have your phone hooked to your cars wifi. If you are hooked to the wifi it gets to 99 percent then the car shuts off and doesn't take you to the last steps and kicks you out of the app.

So easy? Pioneers in the game 🔥
Hey there,
I use 100 octane fuel, which file do I need to use in that case?
Mine is taking over 20 mins just to "transfer data" then multiple times now when I start the real flash, It loses connection. Super frustrating
What did you do to fix this?
I have a 2019 Golf R and use IE. Im not a hater. I like the the tune they provide a lot. But they absolutely dropped the ball on the mobile App. Works terrible and flashes are more likely to fail than to work. Use the computer and you will be in luck

Do you install the dsg tune after the octane tune, or does installing the octane tune install both of them at the same time?
Which platform? Most tunes are going to be separate, where you will flash the engine tune first, and then the DSG/TCU tune after. The RS6/RS7 platform will flash them both though at the same time.
@@IEtuned The C7.5 S6.
S6/S7 models have a separate tune then. You would flash the engine tune, then in a separate flash, you will flash the transmission tune.
(MK7 Gti DSG) Im on apr stage 2 both ecu and tcu, is this able to flash right over the tune or does it need to go back to stock first ? Thanks!!
I have the same question as you my friend,its just that i have an mk6 GTI DSG
You should be able to flash over with no issues. As long as the ECU isn't locked by the previous tuner, you should be able to flash over any file.
@@IEtunedI have an Audi A4 B9 and currently have a Revo stage 1 tune. Just purchased your stage 1 tune and was wondering the same. Can I just flash your tune over my previous one or should I go back to stock first using the Revo dealer?
Can you flash the ecu back to stock?
yes
Do I need to keep the IE Flash tune device connected to the OBD2 port after my tune is done?
No, you do not. It can be removed once the flash is done.

Can i tune a European VW Golf mk6 tdi 2.0
Will Audi know if I go back to stock and TD1 it? Some say the flash count increases with a tune and some say good tunes don’t increase it.
It depends. Typically a dealer can tell a car has been tuned regardless, so I would just keep that in the back of your mind. Our tune doesn't increase the flash counter, but again, it's possible a dealer can still tell it was flashed at some point.
If I buy the stage 1 on the website can I flash it to stage 2 in the future through the app?
Yes, that exactly how it would work, you would just pay the difference in tunes when you go in to flash the Stage 2 tune.
not sure why but the car refuses to turn over after a completed flash of the stage 2 tune and dsg tune. first time i flashed the stage 2 i had to roll the car back in neutral a couple feet and then it turned over and started in neutral. had to repeat the sam process after just now flashing the dsg tune. not sure if this is due to being parked on an incline while flashing but it is definitely something worth looking into

I ordered mine but I was under the impression it was more than just a canned tune
What are the ie credits for, I got a stage 2, but if I use stage 1 file will I still have enough credits for the stage 2?
Yes, you will. The credits will let you flash stage 1 and then you'll have enough leftover to upgrade to stage 2.
@@IEtunedso if I bought a stage 2 can I use stage 1 in the mean time till my down pipe comes in? And I won’t have to pay for the stage 2 again or anything?
Yes, that is correct. Stage 1 will take a certain amount of credits. When you jump to Stage 2 you'll have the remaining credits left over which you'll use to flash Stage 2 when you install the downpipe.
At the end of the video, am i supposed to turn the car on fully? Or just ignition

@IEtuned
When the flash is done, you will receive a notification on screen to start the car (full start, engine running), shut if off, then start again.

Do you need to plug the cable that it comes with to install the tune or just install through Bluetooth?
The USB C cable is only for connecting to a laptop. If you are using the mobile app, it connects directly through Bluetooth.
So I just tried to go from my 93 ko4 crackle to 91 ko4 crackle on my 2012 Audi a4 and when it was don’t followed the steps and started but it ran like shit ???
I'm sorry to hear, reach out to Sales@perfromancebyie.com, our customer service can look and see what was flashed and verify if that's correct.
Wait so do I need this IE powerlink to install the tune or I dont have to buy the 179$ powerlink and just use my computer?
You need it either way
You will need the Powerlink device either way. That is how you communicate with the car to flash the tune.
If you don’t have a battery charger, can you hook it up to another car like you’re jump starting it?
Yes, you could if that is your only option.
@@IEtuneddoes the other car have to be on and running? Or just connect the two cars with both engines on but not fully started
Were you able to get a response
The car that is getting tuned would be in the on position, the other car would have to be running.
With the IE Stage 1 tune, can we get the crackle option on audi RS3?
RS3's utilize the stock crackles on all files.
When starting the car stopping it and starting it again do I need to do it with the cables still attached and the powerlink still connected?
When you flash using your phone, you don't need to use the USB cable at all. It connects through Bluetooth. Then you flash the car and install the tune. Once the flash is done, you can disconnect the Powerlink from the OBD2 port.

I just bought stage 2 for my Audi s3 it is stock is my first time putting the tune.
I don’t need to upgrade IE powerlink mobile v4?
All cables shipping now are already V4 cables with Bluetooth active. :)
@@IEtuned so if I bought a device last year is it not compatible for Bluetooth?
What kind of battery charger is that? One of the ones that plugs in the wall?
Yes it is!
A full battery charger is best, not a tender. It needs to have a 10amp minimum.
okay so let’s say i buy just the IE POWERlink V4 Tune Cable With Mobile Flashing does it come equipped already with enough credits to purchase stage 1?
It would not. The Powerlink is the tool needed to install the tune. You need to purchase an accommodating tune along with the Powerlink for your car.
