Default Stasis suspended the 2.0T ECU updates

I have been looking to buy the Stasis ECU update and have been waiting for the holiday season hoping for discounts. I came across this today:

I sent an email to an authorized Audi dealership, trying to find out more about that.

Wow, wonder what this is about (technical problem vs. legal/administrative problem)?

Old news. StaSIS temporarily suspended ECU tunes while their software engineers tweaked the code for 2012 models. Now resumed.

True? I just heard yesterday from Stasis-approved dealer (Long Beach, CA) that production/installation is still suspended...

Yes, I also got a confirmation from my dealer that the ECU updates are indeed suspended. Why wouldn't they take that bulletin off their site immediately if the upgrades were resumed!

I wonder if this has something to do with the software update that is part of the TSB for the oil consumption. Maybe Stasis is busy qualifying their mapping with the latest software from the factory. On the other hand, if that were the case, Stasis could have worded it differently on their site, i.e. to not say that they are working on a problem.

I also wondered about potential linkage to oil consumption problem...interesting, too, that TSB only covers '09-'11 vehicles (since I have a '12 and wonder if they have the problem fixed!).

On status of Stasis ECU updates, I put the question in to their web contact form--will update this thread if I get a reply.

Stasis removed the suspension bulletin from their site. The dealer has not called me back yet.

^ ... as I said, old news. The StaSIS webmaster was a bit tardy in removing the bulletin as flashes resumed some time ago.

And again, the halt was instituted to address '12 ECU's in particular with updated code (circa '09 code prior).

I don't know where you are getting your information, but I'm in contact with the dealership and they told me today that they spoke with the Stasis rep who said they were waiting for approval of the new software and it will be 1-2 weeks before they resume the upgrades.
