    Has anyone gotten a tune after the emmisions fix?

    my $500 dealer credit applied towards Kerma pre announcement of any fix. once fix announced and once scheduled, i set back to stock and then followed the same procedure as I did on the first install. Within 24 hours I had my car back. I didn't do the DSG upgrade and appreciated the DSG-retune...
