Remote Tuning How-To
Built for the Streets. Proven on the Dyno.
Whether you're commuting, road-tripping, or surprising V8s at stoplights, Stage 1 makes the Q5 feel lighter, quicker, and more responsive — without sacrificing the luxury driving character Audi intended.
Stop leaving power on the table. Elevate your driving experience with BDT’s Stage 1 Q5 tune — crafted exclusively for your 2021–2025 Audi Q5 45 TFSI.
Crackle Pops / Overrun (Dynamic Mode Only)
Bring your Audi to life with our overrun/crackle calibration — a crowd-favorite feature that adds drama and personality to every drive.
When decelerating from higher RPMs or free-revving in Neutral/Park, you’ll hear sharp, exhilarating pops and crackles. It’s a controlled and safe enhancement designed to deliver an aggressive sound profile that turns heads — especially when paired with an aftermarket exhaust.
Note: Effect may be more subtle on stock exhaust systems. Safety logic reduces crackles if exhaust temperatures rise excessively.
⚡ Boost Control Optimization
From the factory, the stock ECU delivers a rough and inconsistent boost curve. BDT Stage 1 refines boost control for clean, confident pulls every time.
- Smoother, more linear boost delivery
- Sharper throttle response
- Consistent power across the entire powerband

IF YOU WANT YOUR CAR TO SURVIVE, THESE MUST BE DONE!
I want your Q5 to survive multiple years with my tune. This isn’t optional — it’s what keeps the EA888 hybrid reliable under added load. If you can’t afford the maintenance, please don’t tune the car.
