Just curious, they refused to tell me details on mine as well. What are they charging you for the transfer?

APR stated 149. im planning to have it transferred so I can figure out what all it has. The fact that I have an intake makes me wonder if it will need to be have tune adjusted. Hopefully not. The biggest issue is the closet APR dealer is 2 hours away.

Guessing they had no idea sice the CPO it on time of existing warranty. Since the TSI cover was on they likely didn't see the APR pump/sticker.

UM and APR are both 2 hrs away. Figure for 149 I'll check out APR and see how that suits me. Assuming it's a full transfer and I don't get stuck for a retune.

St. Louis has Reid-Vann, that's about 2-2.5 hours from you.
Chicago is prob your best bet. Closer to you, and much bigger VW scene there, and more tuning shops it appears.
There is no need for them to "re-flash you to stock". You pay the xfer fee, they change the license over to your name, and then you'll know exactly what's on the car, and make sure you're on the latest version of the tune. Hope for Stage 2+ !!

I gotta say this is the biggest scam in this tuning industry....the car was tuned and APR charges $150 to switch to someone's name...if the car is tuned the car stays tuned. Why do peope gotta pay to switch to their name, such BS. It not like if I buy another Mk6 I get to carry the tune with me to that one...fucking scammer they are.

Yeah, I know St. Louis has options, but I have family towards the Chicago land area and I'd prefer to work through Peter from e-fab if I'm going to just go with APR since it will save me some green up front. As far as hoping for stage 2+, since I don't have a DP on the car that won't matter at this time, but would come in handy down the road. I kind of feel like the previous owner had an exhaust on car before he sold it due to how clean this exhaust is and after the last Chicago winter there was plenty of salt put down. But who knows if he drove it.
As for transferring in my name and being good to go, that's what I assumed, but figured there was some catch for them to make even more money. Glad that's not the case.

Tune
Here's a question along the same lines....
I bought a 2012 R, upgrading from an 11 GTI. My local VW dealership bought the car from a VW employee and advertised as tuned. When I use the stock as read in the Apr manual online nothing blinks or happens. Can there be a single program that is always active and can't be switched to stock?

And APR will charge you $150 just to get the tune in your name so they will even talk to you about it and then also a lot more to get those other files mapped
