That's great to hear. That's a lot more miles than it took for my tune to develop problems the last couple times it was flashed. Looking forward to trying out the beta myself.
To everyone who has reached out and hasn't yet heard back, bear in mind that the two weeks around the holidays tend to be slow for pretty much everyone. After some back and forth with APR support before the holiday, there was a full 3 weeks of radio silence and they just got back to me again earlier today with some good news. Some patience is required, though I admit mine has been wearing pretty thin at times.

Awesome, that's fantastic news!
You are correct. Sorry about that. Most of us were out at the end of the year for holidays and such. I just got back in today myself. Our support team will be be blowing through support tickets and get back to all of you.

Hopefully after a couple more successful Beta Tunes they can offer up a new updated Re flash.
Thanks for your help Arin.

Emailed support, hopefully it won't be longer than a week to hear back. I'm ready to test this beta tune[emoji23].
Do you guys know is the dealers charge labor for a beta flash?

It's rare that they don't. Usually it's half an hour, about $50.

Thanks for the reply,
That's what they charged me when I went from 2.1 to 2.4.
I'll probably do the beta and then wait for it to go stable. I wont do more than one beta flash.

Ya, they don't charge you anything for the tune, but they'll charge you for their time. Some shops are nicer/friendlier, but can't blame for em for charging $50.

Looks like the current beta file available is just for stage 2. Got a response from Ryan
"*I will inquire with calibration if they can make a stage 1 high torque 93 beta file for you and update you when I hear back.*"

Stage 2 beta file flash was unsuccessful. The file that was made available to me must have been compiled incorrectly. Instead I reflashed my car from the full feature version to the single map version. I noticed a significant improvement, with a slight fuel economy drop. I'm waiting to hear back from support to get the correct file, however I'm actually hoping some of the negative side effects return before that happens, kind of like a control test to compare against the beta. Will update.

Sorry to hear other stage tunes didn't work correctly.
I am very happy with the results this far.

Weird, I got a response within 2days. I contacted them via the apr site. I would suggest you do it again. First I got the automated response and 2 days later support emailed me

I was in contact with them as well, however since the failed update... I've heard nothing. It's odd, they were very responsive beforehand. They must be busy with wrapping up end of the year stuff or something.
