Awesome! I only see the MT option however, no 2019 DSG support?
Hello,
The DSG equipped car is supported for ECU tuning. We do not have actual DSG tuning yet though. The 2019 cars have the updated 7-speed transmission and we are still working on tuning support for that. You can still use the Accessport for the ECU. The Stage1+ tune will work fine on the stock DSG calibration. When 7 speed DSG support is finished, you will have the option to upgrade the Accessport.

Hello,
Mine is a 2018 GTI with DSG. So it is a MK7.5
Is this for my car? My gear box is a 6-speed so I can do the flash right?
Thanks!
Hello Carlos,
Assuming you have a USDM vehicle, the 2018 GTI is fully supported, including DSG Tuning. It was actually supported prior to this release, the new Cat-back exhaust is the only new item for your specific car.

Thanks for your kind reply Adam,
And yes my car is a USDM vehicle. Then this new OTS maps Stage1 91/93 Octane are not for mine, just only for the 2019? Thanks again and keep the greate job you guys do!
Carlos,
That is correct. The 2019 model has new computer hardware, so even though it has similar performance, we had to treat it like a new car in many ways. Including making new tunes.

Fantastic, Great, Sensational. But when does the 2019 Golf R support become available 🙂
I am assuming the DP and Intercooler parts will still fit no problem as well?
We’ve got a 2019 R in the house for dev work. I don’t have a specific ETA yet, but it’s in progress. Keep in touch.

I was only giving you all a hard time, i was amazed at how fast the 2019 support came out for the GTI. Seeing that i have picked up about a dozen APs in the past, I understand the wait for the new MY of platforms. But, I will be one of your first 2019 Golf R AP buyers once the support is there.
Is there any rough ETA for DSG tuning support for the 7-Speed?
Hi,
We don’t have a date yet but it is one of our active projects.
Adam@COBB
Is there any difference in the rabbit edition 2019 vs other dsg 2019 gti?
Any updates on the dsg tuning? and also stage 2 software with a DP?
Hi,
For all intents and purposes, they are the same for tuning. The 7speed DSG is being worked on as we speak, and so are OTS map updates. No specific ETA’s as reverse engineering is always the most unpredictable but it’s a top priority.
