Default Is there a Max # of programs for APR's EMCS function?

Ordering a chip, and wondering how many programs can be loaded on. APR's website only lists payment for up to 4, but there are 5 available (valet, stock, 91, 93, 100) that I know of.

TIA

Default Depending on where you live you will only need 91 or 93 not both.....

it depends on the gas available to you. If you can get 93 why would you want 91?

Default You can only have 4 at a time. You are paying for the # of slots, and that max is 4

EMCS currently has a max # of slots of 4. What you pay for are the # of slots you want. If you have the home programmer, you can change what goes into each of these slots as often as you desire.

You can even just purchase 1 slot, and keep changing the program that in that slot via the home programmer.

The single APE file that you download contains all of the available programs, and you can choose from any of those to put into the slots that you purchase. Heck, you can even purchase all 4 slots and put "Valet" into all 4.

Some cars also have a 104 program, so that makes 6 to choose from )

Default I have both. Normally I can only get 91, but sometimes I mix 1/3 100 octane and 2/3 91 octane to end

up with 94 so I can run the 93 program (this is nice int he summer when the car is so much slower). And when it is very cold in the winter the car will run the 93 program on 91 octane.

Default I only use 3 slots

91, 93, 100

I have a stock ECU and do people actually ever use valet? I'm not talking about the program...I'm talking about letting some teenage idiot drive their S4 in heavy traffic and park it in a crowded lot or off in some distant dimly lit street spot? After I think about this why would anyone use the valet program? But maybe that's just me.

Default I've had to leave my car at shops overnight many times....

valet would be really nice to have in those situations. Just some added reassurance.
