    Yeah I'm about 80% sure it's controlled by the engine ECU but without HP supporting it, I don't think much can be done.

    I submitted a support ticket to HP months (years?) ago asking about this (on a C7 A6 with the 3.0t engine), they said they'd look into it, but I never heard back. :^(

    Hey there are hopefully others that know more than I do on this subject but let me toss out an idea: at the speed in question, could the torque converter be locked in 7th and slipping in 8th? It's...

    Kind of along the same lines... has anyone figured out how to make the transmission (in manual mode) start from a standstill in a gear other than first?

    As far as selling goes, you need to buy the MPVI2 interface, and enough credits to at least tune your transmission. Unless your engine is already tuned I'd highly recommend buying enough credits to...

    I think it's basically the input shaft speed for the transmission, after the torque converter.

    If the torque converter clutch is locked it will be very close to crankshaft RPM. If the clutch is...

    HP almost never responds to requests to add vehicles in the forum. Best bet is to email support with the specifics of your car. I think if you connect an interface to the car, go into scanner or...

    Seems like they haven't added it for all variants. I just opened the files for my '12 A4 and my '14 A6 and that parameter is not available for either.

    And more specifically, AFAIK you won't be able to view tunes from any VAG vehicles without an interface, so you will not be able to see what you can change on your car.
