Here are all the details on our software with the latest delivery tool…

We have just released our latest software delivery tool called the My Genius Handheld Programmer. Programming with this tool is a simple, guided experience that requires little user input and about an hour or two at the most. It is a simple process by which you read out your vehicles original software file with our handheld software tool. You then connect the tool to a computer via a USB port and email the downloaded software to us; we alter the original file and send both the back via email. Some of you have heard this before, right? But wait, here is the added benefit….

Our software delivery tool is the latest technology and is a stand-alone unit that does not interface with Windows®. It uses its own operating system (OS) so there is ZERO likelihood of software files being corrupted through Windows® or even Mac (booted in Windows) for that matter!!

The My Genius unit also has an added safety feature which creates a Recovery Point during the writing process. So in the event that the car battery dies, simply hit the reset feature and the software starts to write from the Recovery Point. If you were using a cable based delivery tool the ECU would have been damaged and you would be stuck until you purchased a new ECU and coded it to the car.

Unfortunately, many forum members have first-hand knowledge of file corruptions with the cable based delivery systems. Corrupted files take an extremely long time to load, they cause the end user to have to pay for additional technical support and can ultimately destroy your expensive Porsche® ECU.

Not to mention, you receive FVD Software which is the most advanced, reliable and economical software offering in the industry. See the information below for how our software stacks up against the competition.

FVD Brombacher Software = Power with Peace of Mind.

Since 1983, FVD-Brombacher has been setting the standard for Porsche® engine building and tuning in Germany. Our broad mechanical knowledge of the flat 6 Porsche® engine naturally led to our development of Engine Management software. Over the years we have perfected the art of software tuning, making substantial gains in horsepower and torque, while retaining drivability and most importantly reliability. Unlike many others in the industry, our only focus is software for Porsche®. This allows us to bring you the most polished, factory-smooth and powerful aftermarket software product for Porsche® period.

POWERFUL – Once we receive your downloaded software, we modify the ignition timing, optimize the air /fuel ratios, increase the rev limiter and modify the boost mapping on turbo vehicles. Since we sample your original file using the method above, each of our programs is custom-written for each of your vehicle’s modifications. That means that we can extract the maximum performance gains over what our competition can offer you. For all Porsche® vehicles from 2000 upwards, we also alter the throttle response which effectively negates the throttle delay found in E-Gas or drive by wire vehicles. The throttle response is improved linearly so that you don’t experience sharp increases commonly found with other software tuners who tend to exacerbate the throttle response. For us, the “Devil is in the details”, so we concentrate on laying the power down more smoothly, while providing consistent acceleration without wheel spin. Ultimately, FVD tuned cars are quicker than their overrated counterparts with the added benefit of lower tire expenses.

RELIABLE – All of the OEM engine software safety features are left fully intact and are not disabled. So you will benefit from the added performance without sacrificing the reliability that the Porsche® brand is renowned for. Since we sample your original software file, all of the Porsche® dealer software updates are also included, whereas our competitors who flash without sampling the OEM file are typically using a map based on the first year of the vehicle without all of the critical Porsche® updates. In addition, our software engineers have been trained by Bosch and Siemens in Germany, so you receive their factory expertise in writing software code for Porsche®. They have been writing software for Porsche® since 1983, before many of our competitors were born; very few can make that same claim. Most importantly, our software engineers are committed to software tuning for PORSCHE® ONLY, so our sole purpose is to write the most polished Porsche® software available in the industry.

REVERSIBLE – FVD Software is completely reversible and undetectable for dealer service / diagnostics / extended warranty. We supply you with your TRUE Original OEM Porsche® file as well as the FVD Brombacher Tuned File. Our tuned or original file will not show a change in the flash counter which keeps track of the number of times the firmware has been changed.

ADAPTABLE – Our software is adaptive and as such we give you hundreds of software timing maps. That’s right, hundreds of software maps! Each of our maps are tied into the vehicle’s sensor information so with differing variations in climate, throttle, exhaust gas temperature and octane our software automatically adjusts to give you superior performance and a factory-smooth feel. We also adjust the software to accommodate 91-100 North American ((RON+MON)/2) and Rest of World 95-104 (RON) octane automatically (adjusts timing and knock sensors accordingly). This is done automatically without the need of external hardware or toggling through the cruise control functions, just fill and go! If you want to change the intake or add a throttle body in the future, for example, our software will also adapt for larger Porsche® throttle bodies and IPD plenums with greater air mass automatically*, simply install and feel the gains without the hassle of sending the ECU back or having to install another file.

ECONOMICAL – Since our software is adaptive, we can offer un-paralleled savings over our competition and there is no additional hardware needed. Our listed software price allows you to add 200 cell catalytic converters, mufflers, headers, high flow intake, larger throttle body and intercoolers without having to pay for an updated software file. In fact, the only time you would need an updated file is if you remove the catalytic converters for racing, upgrade the turbochargers or change the internal engine components. In contrast, many of our competitors charge you for each individual hardware upgrade, charge you for performance in stages and even charge you for software programming assistance. On that note, we offer you free technical assistance to upgrade your software. We don’t charge you an hourly charge like many others, simply call our technical assistance line and speak directly to our programmers in Germany (they speak perfect English). They are available Monday – Friday from 3 am E.S.T. until 1 pm E.S.T. Should you need any assistance after that time just call our Florida location and we would be glad to assist you, also free of charge. Since our headquarters are in Germany, where fuel is paid for by the liter, we go through extra lengths to provide you with greater fuel economy as well. More specifically we can save you ~ 5% to ~ 10% (gas / diesel) each time you fill your tank in every day driving conditions.

GUARANTEED – 30-day money back guarantee! Not satisfied with the power, simply flash the car back to stock and send it back. No questions asked.

OPTIONS – Customers can specify left foot braking for track events so that the throttle does not cut out while braking. We can program for 100+ specialized fuel maps, motorsports oil separators, etc. Give us a call to discuss your special requests.

Here is how simple programming with the My Genius Tool is:

Anyone have any real world experience with this tune? The pricing sure looks good. Also, this contradicts what I had been led to believe, that the dealer can always tell if the car has had a tune. Is their claim right that a car can be re-flashed back to stock with the provided tool and the dealer could never tell? As an 09 TT owner with a CPO for the next 2 years this claim is really important.

steve k ny

that softronic tune was a great deal.. but an FVD tune is on another level...

9LVN_TT

Do you have this tune? Care to share your experience?

I was set on the Softronic but then I saw this. I have always read of FVD as a reputable shop.

Would love to hear some feedback from those that have this tune.

Runner

Just had this tune installed and paid full price! It's ok because it's worth every bit. It turned my turbo into a raging beast. Very powerful and smooth.

My turbo is a tip!

I recommend it! 100%!

steve k ny

i dont have FVD's tune.. my car came with an APR tune...
i am upgrading my turbos this spring so it doesnt make sense for me to retune the car.. but if i was stock, i'de go with FVD...

i have an FVD exhaust and you can tell what this company is about just by looking at the crafsmanship of their exhausts...


FVD is no joke... remember, unlike EVERY other tuner.. FVD ONLY tunes porsches...

GTRNICK

That's not a deal, thats a steal!

Great tune and I wish when I bought my tune it was that cheap.

550bryan

If I were confident that I wouldn't get sideways with my CPO or the Calif emissions police I'd pull the trigger, this is a smoking deal it would seem....

TT Surgeon

This is the real deal, I've had it on this car for over a yr, been to the dealer numerous times w cpo stuff, zero issues.

MK_TT

Does this tune raise any rev limiters?

(thinking about it triggering additional range 1, range 2 over-revs)

This looks like an awesome deal!

GTRNICK

Rev's are raised by 200rpm but I think you can request for the stock rev limit from memory.

m32

Wow. This is crazy. I might have to jump on this one

Edwin

m32

Can anyone chime in if this tune will require new plugs or any other upgrades?

Edwin

GTRNICK

Nope no plugs required, but a decent exhaust will obviously help you free up some more power.

UT_farhan

I spoke with my dealer about this, and they absolutely can tell if the car has been tuned or not. Whether they wish to honor the CPO is up to them. I'm in the same boat bc my car is under CPO until July 2015.
