It's one of those things that you're never going to get a genuine answer on, unless Jim wants to tell you it.

My guess? APR Europe has been offshored to Germany in Oettinger's former HQ, making Awesome redundant. Nice bit of business that buying Oettinger, as that name is everything to the Germans & wider Europe and a big market.

APR isn't selling in the UK and Awesome have been in a handcuffed deal watching REVO sell hand over fist through every other tuner. To survive, they've got to offer choice.

Hope JKM don't drop Revo and become the new main APR agent!!


....I haven't talked to JKM about it but somehow I doubt very much this would happen.

It's looking as if APR may have fallen out of bed with Awesome and so all APR operations under that roof in Manchester will have gone the same way out the door. At the moment we simply don't know if matters are acrimonious or amicable....  As usual in the early stages of any divorce proceedings.

Just spoke to a good friend of mine at Awesome,  basically he said they felt they weren't gettin the full back-up they needed when issues with software etc came about, so all ties have been split.
If this is the full story only the people in the know will ever know :smiley:

Becoming just a Revo dealer isn't offering much choice tho is it.

I wonder if APR are planning to te Market as Oettinger in the UK on a bigger scale!

Probably the first hit in an attempt to hurt APR, start selling their main rival, Lee?

I imagine they'll bring in a lot more choice in time, if they could somehow go back to the ethos of the old School Lane days, they might have a chance.

I asked Zboyd if he knew anything and he said that as of yesterday they have cut all ties with APR and will be publishing a statement soon and having an open day at Awesome and all the guys from Revo will be there.

Maybe Arin@APR will come out of the woodwork and explain, i was talking to him yesterday about a k04 on the mk6 tsi until the thread got closed :confused:

I just spoke to Awesome and, they said that they've parted company as there was software issues that APR couldn't assist them in resolving! And as Awesome were the main supplier in UK everyone else that supplies APR is also parting company and being supplied with Revo!

Awesome also told me that there should be an amnesty where if your new (I think) to APR they will switch you over for free to Revo!

I also spoke to JKM and, they are waiting on confirmation from APR on the situation.....
