Default Anyone know if GIAC has their new chip so it won't affect the cruise?

This chip thing is so hard to decide. Originally, I had my heart set on the MTM unit but with many people using GIAC's and APR's, I'm not sure now. I live very close to WETT so I may go with their chip but no one on this list seems to use them very much. why?

It is not the CHIP that affects cruise. spare ECU's don't come with the crust turned on.

If you buy a new ECU, you can easily enable cruise with a VAG or VAG compatible software.

Default They probably had to turn it on for you with the VAG/VW Tool

Mine doesn't work when the chipped ECU is in the car.....which it hasn't been for the past 2.5 months.<p><a href="http://registry.audiworld.com/audi/registry/details.asp?car=3821"><br><br>
