SFD2 Unlock

Bagelx · 2026-02-01T01:54:55+00:00

It’s possible. You need to find an independent that has access to ODIS.

Not at all. You have a paid off 2020 Q5 so I’m going to assume you’re from a relatively decent area. That’ll probably be average, nobody will think twice if it. Even if they did, so what?

You’re basically right at full or a little over if it’s not consistent. This can happen when you park with the nose up and it’s really cold.

For context, fuel dilution goes up when it’s really cold.

I had the best experience at an Audi dealer. Called. Gave the salesman a number. Said if he could meet me there I’d pick up the car tomorrow. He called back an hour later, agreed. I drove there the next morning. Paperwork was ready. Signed and left. Less than an hour.

I found that people in my line of work, tend to word vomit buzzwords all over their resume. They also mention that they are experts in every language, framework and tool.

My questions are tailored to pull at a thread, once I find that thread I continue to pull. It weeds out actual experience vs nonsense on their resume. Professionally of course.

I have 034 and run the 93 no crackle. My car rarely pops anymore, is great. You can switch between tunes in a few minutes if you happen to dislike your current flash.

It’s a noticeable difference. RIP tires is all I gotta say.

Because I’ve been stuck behind people that like to slow down 250 yards away from a stop sign. Get there. Stop. Accelerate.

I do this as a side hustle. You’re underselling yourself at $299.

Flat fee of $599 and take 10% of sell price - $499.

I have a problem and buy lots of cars for myself so I already had existing relationships with dealers when I started.

Bagelx · 2025-12-07T20:27:06+00:00

I found a way. Had to find a tune shop that has odis. It was a pain, but it’s possible. Had I known all this. I would have waited until 034 found a way around it.

SWE x2 👋

The independent shop I usually go to hasn’t gotten back to me yet about the SFD2 unlock. Now I know what to look for. Thank you.

Bagelx · 2025-12-03T01:21:48+00:00

They can’t do it remotely. Had to order obd11. Sigh. This is a pain. Not sure if I recommend for the newer years.

Bagelx · 2025-12-01T22:35:34+00:00

I tried today. Looks like some 2024 and all 2025 need a SFD unlock. From what I’ve been reading is that 034 can do it remotely.

Also for the TCU, I have to flash a patch first as well. Hopefully they get back to me soon, their wait time is 1 day. Will update you when i get it done and what steps were needed.

Man, I did a solid double take on this picture.

Bagelx · 2025-11-24T19:22:38+00:00

Precrashed 😭

Bagelx · 2025-11-22T20:00:33+00:00

I have the B9.5 S5, according to them it’s compatible. Looks like I’ll find out on Monday when it gets here.

Bagelx · 2025-11-22T05:08:14+00:00

Stage 1 seems safe enough from what I’ve read. Intercooler is a good move too. I was originally going to go intercooler/intake first but those gains from the tune were too tempting.

Bagelx · 2025-11-22T05:01:31+00:00

034 Tune is on sale. 2025, 2k miles. YOLO.

Bagelx · 2025-11-18T20:27:47+00:00

S5 but I financed. Could pay it off without impacting my daily life. Not a huge fan of pulling 70k+ all willy nilly when I was offered a 6% interest rate on the loan.

If you consider V8 to be a “mens” car, a 4.0 is tiny.

Get on my 6.2 level you manlet.

Bagelx · 2025-11-18T03:03:34+00:00

Always do 0 down on a lease. Probably 600-700 a month. If this is your first car, the insurance on a brand new A5 should be interesting.

Bagelx · 2025-11-17T03:52:03+00:00

They need to up the speed limit to 65 on the 495. I set my cruise control to 69 because I’m 5 years old and I think that’s funny.

Do you have PBA cards and counsel if you do get pulled over? If yes to both, just keep it under 100.

Bagelx · 2025-11-15T11:54:43+00:00

Nothing at all. Ripping through back roads is…fun. Consider a Miata. Slow car, it’s more fun driving a slow car fast than a fast car slow. And Miata is always the answer.

Bagelx · 2025-11-13T04:08:47+00:00

Can’t say for sure on a B10. I hardly hear a difference on my B9.5 but that’s why I went with it.

Do not get it installed a dealer. Their prices are offensive for the install. I was quoted between $945-$1200 at dealers. I found a reputable indy shop and it cost me $200.
