How It Works — Remote Flash or PnP ECU

Two ways to get tuned: a live BDT remote flash through the OBDII port, or an immobilizer-deleted plug-and-play ECU swap.

1

Schedule — after purchase, book your remote flash session with BDT.

2

Set Up — Windows laptop with TeamViewer, flash cable in the port, battery maintainer on the car, key in accessory.

3

We Flash It — BDT remotes into the laptop and runs the whole flash while you watch live.

4

Drive — key off on command, unplug, done. A few fault codes right after flashing are normal; they clear after a short drive cycle.

Prefer zero laptops? Ask for the immobilizer-delete PnP ECU option — drop it in and go. This ECU family flashes via a live BDT remote session. Self-flashing with the BDT Flasher lands when this platform is ported.

    Totally Different Car

    Posted by Ryan on Dec 26th 2023

    The test drive after the install, I was smiling ear to ear the whole time. Walked back into house and my wife was like “you just put that new ECU thing in your car didn’t you? There’s no other reason you’d be smiling that much”. Throttle response is great, and so much more power with the stage 2. I’m super pleased with these guys’ work. It woke the GTI up and made it a completely different car.

    Stage 2

    Posted by Matt Vaughan on Jan 29th 2023

    I really like this plug play unit. I really wish there was a specific place that was labeled for the crackles and pops. The default one is intense which is a little intense for me lol. I wish I could have gone with the medium. But I like it and it really woke this car up. I would recommend

    Awesome tune! Extremely happy!

    Posted by Roberto molina on Mar 7th 2019

    I was thw fence at first but boy am i glad i got this tune. Ive owned the car for 2 years and drive it 40 miles EVERY day and it has never drove this smooth and civilized, until i hit the gas that is. It absolutely blew me away just how much power the car has, its very surprising. I am extremely satisfied and highly recommend. Oh, and the 2-step is nuts too! Trent took care of any questions i had and answered my messages promptly. Again, highly recommend.
