thank Mark , thats appreciated

Wow, and less than a couple of weeks after going with APR Stage one :(

To be honest I would like find out what the warrentee situation was reguarding the software, I know it's rare that issues arrise. I would rather have a map that was supported by the producer, or their agents, on my car than not!

If JKM can give a clarification as to where APR stands when they know more please. Also if they would, for people that just got APR, swap for Revo if they decide not to not support their software in the UK - I would be happy to pay the difference to get the piece of mind if anything should go wrong.

It's a shame really as I really do like the map.

Recently went APR StgII myself & see no reason to change at the moment. The map suits my car perfectly & like the fact I can switch programs via cruise. Lack of UK support could be an issue but software issues are rare once the map is on the car and mine doesn't go to the stealers so they wouldn't get chance to overwrite the code back to standard!!

agree with ady, I love the APR software and would miss the ability to switch using the cc stalk.
Its reliable but thats not the point we need backup should something go wrong , as well as getting software updates if there are any.
So its irrelevant how good it is , i need (and paid for!) the backup of the supplier as that was one of the major decision points.

I'm thinking, with new engine mounts and now a decent map at last. You might break the 18 second barrier at the pod.

This is what Awesome have posted on their FB page:

( http://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/Awesome-GTI/39558993333 )

As Directors of Awesome we decided that we better produce a formal statement regarding the introduction of REVO TECHNIK to our product line.

For nearly 10 years, Awesome have been responsible for the sales, marketing and distribution of all ...APR software and hardware products in the UK. Over a number of years, Awesome have suffered due to 'internal politics' at APR and we have decided to terminate our business relations. As from 3 PM on Tuesday 12th October 2010, Awesome terminated its partnership with APR LLC and signed contracts with Revo Technik as an approved dealer.

As we have many loyal customers who have chosen APR as the preferred product, we want to give these people our continued support.
As it will now be impossible for Awesome to flash APR software to any vehicle, an agreement has been reached with our new partners REVO to allow a 28 Day Amnesty starting Monday the 18th of October. This will allow any existing APR software equipped vehicle to be re flashed to REVO software with no charge. It does not matter how long the car has had APR software fitted, as long as the purchase invoice can be produced. The only cars that this will not apply to is the older chip change vehicles. The FREE conversion to REVO will only allow single programs and if an SPS unit is required, that will be an added cost. These amnesty burns can only be carried out at Awesome and any questions regarding the Amnesty will be answered by our sales staff.

Finally, all of us here at Awesome are looking forward to working closely with everyone at REVO and we have been promised some VERY exciting products are in the pipeline especially some totally new 1.8T software to blow you away. Watch this space!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Regards
Jim cotton (Managing Director)
Mark Ash (Operations Director)

Big Revo logo all over the home page.... and yes i agree, I would have thought they would be the ones telling us about it, not the other way round!

I know everyone likes the REVO product me included but I fail to see why everyone here thinks this is a good thing.  Surely this has all but removed the sole biggest element of competition from the market place meaning that REVO will be able to keep their prices 'bouyant'.

This combined with the free offer of replacement software is almost an attempt at 'domination' of the software market in the UK.  Again this isn't good for the consumer.

I hope JKM will pick up the mantle and actively supply the APR product into the market place.  Yes it is expensive but the quaility and R&D is what you pay for.
