2009-2013 Volkswagen Mk.6 GTI DSG Support

This flash tune requires that you either HAVE, BUY or RENT an RTD, MPVI2 or MPVI3 device to flash the tune to the vehicle.

Read below for how this works.

Already have HPTuners Flashing Device:

If you already have the device or are borrowing it locally, you will need to purchase 4 flash credits along with the tune unless your device has 4 available credits stored on it. If you need the credits, they are in the options above.

Purchasing RTD Device:

If you purchase the RTD device you have it and can flash your car and other cars supported by HPTuners at any time. This also ensures that you don't need to spend any more on flash credits for flashing the same car/TCU because the credits are tied to your RTD device that you own. This option includes the 4 flash credits.

Rental RTD Device Option Details:

**Rental of the RTD is only available to customers in the USA and Canada. Customers outside of these regions need to purchase the RTD instead.**

The rental fee for JUST the device is $75 USD. If you are flashing the car for the first time, the 4 needed flashing credits are $199.99 USD. The total cost of rental and credits is $274.99USD You will have 3 months from the time of shipping to read, flash, and return the device. Once returned, we will REFUND you the total amount you paid MINUS the rental/credits cost.(Example: $474.99-$274.99=Refund $200)

Keep in mind that the credits required to flash the TCU are tied to the flashing device. If you need another flash after returning the device and this same device is not available you will need to re-purchase the tuning credits.

Device Rental, the fine print:

- You will be charged the full price for the RTD Device which includes the deposit, rental fee, and 4 credits to flash the tune.

- We will send you a rental agreement form to sign. Once signed we will ship you a rental device.

- Follow the instructions for reading the vehicle, sending us the required files, and flashing the tune.

- The rental fee for the device is $75 USD. If you are first time flashing the TCU, the 4 needed flashing credits are $199.99 USD. The total cost of rental and credits is $274.99USD You will have 3 months from the time of shipping to read, flash, and return the device. Once returned, we will REFUND you the total amount you paid MINUS the rental/credits cost.(Example: $474.99-$274.99=Refund $200)

Stratified DSG Flash:

If you have an existing Stratified flashtune we will upgrade your tune to the higher torque setting for free!

Our Stratified DSG Flash for the MK6 GTI is the result of countless hours of development and seat time. It is designed to achieve the following objectives:

- The driveability of the tune in (D) Drive mode must be seamless as a lot of drivers spend time in this mode. We found the OEM calibration to not be well synchronized and lethargic to respond to driver input. Our calibration allows the transmission to respond to driver input and match engine torque rather than force the driver to adapt to its shifting patterns. Fuel economy is not negatively impacted by the calibration.

- The shifting is designed to be smooth and crisp in all modes when both up and downshifting not to disrupt the chassis or driver.

- The clamping force is increased to prevent slippage under higher power applications. This is needed for stage2, ethanol tunes, and upgraded turbochargers.

- The Sport and Manual calibrations are also altered to best match engine torque output and maximize acceleration.

DSG Calibration Options:

OEM: oem shift points but with higher clamping force and quicker shifts than OEM

Sport: slightly more aggressive shift points with higher clamping force and quicker shifts than OEM

Performance: shift points targeting the power band with higher clamping force and quicker shifts than OEM

RTD Features:

The RTD is the device used to flash your DSG. This device has the capability to be used on multiple vehicles. This device will allow you to not only flash the TCU but has the ability to flash the ECU as well. The RTD also has the capability to do the following:

- Data logging capabilities for TCU and ECU, can record data from control units for data analysis

- Platform shareable device, can share the device between multiple vehicle models to tune

- Wide variety of vehicle support from HP Tuners

- Map switchable, i.e., can have multiple maps for TCU and ECU that you can flash between.

- Error-clearing capabilities, i.e., can remove error codes that are read by the device

Your Stratified DSG calibration will be sent to you via email. If you purchased or rented the RTD tuning device, your tracking information will be emailed to you.

**If an order needs to be shipped outside of the USA, additional shipping charges will be calculated and added after the purchase.
