Yes I’m in NJ, B9 A5. I ordered right from the Kufatec site. Only took 2 days to get to me from Germany.

Dumb question, where do you plug the device in? Does it replace a camera, add a camera or is it just the brains?

I could not find any info on how you install.

That’s certainly the appropriate music for a sign recognition dongle.

It plugs in the cars OBD port. once It finishishes updating the car settings the light turns green and you unplug it. It just holds the software settings like a cd-rom or flash drive, it’s not something you leave plugged in.

Very cool. So it has the flash code that is required. I can set it up using vagcom but everything I read says it needs a file to flash to complete the setup.
Do you know if the device can be used on multiple cars?
