I then called APR today, and they told me they are working on those bugs, advice me to flash it back to stock for right now. They will work on the labor fee with me.
So, if you have a 12+ Passat TDI, the flash is NOT ready just yet. :(

Hope this info helps.

Tried to tell you...
My is done I have a 12 TDI cut APR some slack no problems errors I had it for almost 2 months now, I had a DSG flash from Malone and it may not have taken.
They will work out the bugs, I was told they have Dom much business from overseas right now that things are a little backed up.

Have you actually scanned your car? Not all codes throw a light...

Hopefully the digi one is out soon, no detection by the dealer scan
You aren't even using the right name. The DIGI One is a serial to Ethernet interface device and has nothing to do with TDI. The Diesel Power DIGI CR I think is what you are talking about. I am not aware of any documentation that says that it will work on the CRKA motor found in our cars, or is going to be supported.

Also like V-TDI said it is nearly impossible to prevent it from leaving some kind of sign it was there. There is NO way it could plug into every sensor and intercept the signal.

If you are looking at APR, might I suggest Malone.

Here is a newest update (beta V1.3) of the flash:

1) No more CEL codes
2) Speed limit is about 122~123mph
3) Much better response than stock ECU
4) Seems like transmision cannot keep up with the APR ECU flash, hesitation was noticed when suddenly speeding up.

The beta is not released to public. Please wait for APR to finalize the flash.

Hope this helps!

I agree, kudos for keeping up and testing for them!

Yet again I say, DSG Tune, DSG Tune, DSG Tune. There is no way the DSG can really keep up with the ECU tune without a tune itself...

I agree! But since DSG tune will increase torque limit (the CEL codes I have seen many times in previous several flashes), in order to test APR tune, I won't be able to flash DSG at this moment. My goal is to test the APR flash with stock almost everything (no intake, no DSG flash).
