It is a vw dealer near me that is a stockist and they said they have stock, so I asked is there one for mine and they said it's for a turbo vw car universal? Itdoesnt sound right to me? Is there sumthing to look for to see if it will work? Or if it's for a specific model?

Not going to JKM Mitch?

Doesn't sound right that the software is universal for all turbo vw cars..., but as 182blue says the handset itself is universal with a custom program to that particular variant, i.e. 2.0TFSI, 1.6FSI, 1.4TSI.

when you get the bluefin you attach it to the car, then it reads details from the car (nothing is added to the car), you then need to connect the handset to your pc and this sends info to superchips, they then send you the correct file to the handset after checking your details, you then reconnect it to the car and new file is applied to the car, your VW dealer should know what they are doing, dont panic  :happy2:

ps, how much is the dealer doing them for

The handsets are built by SC specific to the car, as when I was down there with SteveP a few weeks back Jamie showed us the empty box where the GTI handsets normally live. Also on my box it states the make model and gearbox type  :happy2:
