Default Is the GIAC flashloader how you put the programs into the car.

ie. Can I get just the flashloader and then plug it in and it flashes my ecu???? or is it just a switch?

The flashloader only changes between programs already in the car.

I got flashed by Induktion and they offered me the software to change it myself using a Vag-Com.

Default I've heard the rumors but haven't found the software anywhere

Did you have to pay for it or was it free?

Thanks,
Trent

Is there any programs that I could flashload myself without sending off the ecu or taking the car in

Default There's a system out of the UK.....>

By AMD that has that setup. You dump your program into it, send it in and they reprogram and send the dongle back to you. Like the BMW "Shark Injector". Expensive though...Check the TTshop...
