With the Ultralink you can tune your vehicle with APR Engine Control Unit (ECU) and APR Transmission Control Unit (TCU) Upgrades right from the convenience of your own home, all on your own! It connects your vehicle directly to the Ultralink Marketplace, which is our online store filled with tens of thousands of tunes supporting most of the vehicles in our catalogue.

The Ultralink lets you download and install new engine and transmission tunes, update to new file versions, jump to a new stage, change octanes and program modes, configure adjustable features such as launch control, torque levels, speed limiters, and other features, read and clear fault codes, reset flash counters, and more!

We also kept our existing APR software owners in mind when creating the Ultralink. There’s no need to purchase a tune twice! Your vehicle is already in our database as an existing customer. And best of all, the Ultralink is completely unlocked. Use it to buy and install software on all your or your friend’s vehicles!

Does this mean the tune can't be detected by a dealer??? Or is there more to it than that?

Arin@APR

We reset the flash counter because the MG1 ECU in your vehicle will only allow a specific number of flash counts before it prevents further flashing. Resetting the counter eliminates the limit.

Please develop one for 2024 2.0T engines...

SO does that mean the tune still can be detected by a dealer? or no?

Arin@APR

We offer our own warranty program (APR Plus). We've never taken one to a dealer to check.

mark8

I'm more concerned about resale. If a dealer can't CPO the vehicle that drops the value. Perhaps you want to check out this aspect and report back.

Assume that any flash tune would be detected.

mark8

Well, if the flash counter is set back to 1, I'm not sure that's the case. That's the question I guess.

BMinSFL

It does not reset the other changes in boost, timing etc.. that would be detected.

mark8

ah ok. makes sense.

Arin@APR

Flashing back to stock reloads the original factory file. So of course the changes to boost, timing, etc, are reverted.

mark8

I might just chat with my dealer about this. They are pretty progressive, so I think I can have an open conversation with them. I would be curious for APR to pursue this as well, since you guys would have the most technical knowledge about the tune and the ECU/TCU.

BMinSFL

I wasn't refering to changes, but the history that would be recovered should there be a failure while operating.
