Default How to use the APR TCU software. How to set shift points/launch RPM

How does the driver customize the settings if he gets that new APR TCU chip. Does he have to write down the settings he wants and bring it to the tuner at the time of the chipping?
Or can the driver change the settings from inside the car? These details is not covered on APR's site. And they have not gotten back to me about my email which i am super pissed about and will call them on.

Their TCU software was pulled for a couple weeks but should be back this week from what I hear.

And yes, removing both up and down auto shift and setting the RPMs are done at the time of installation.

Yes, per Arin@apr, they said that if the flashing was interrupted, it would brick the TCU. They (apparently) managed to unbrick them, but they won't re-release it until they have a full solution to be able to do this at the APR dealers.
His last message was that they were pretty close to the re-release a few days ago.
