Re: UPsolute AWW chip..... removable???... how to return to stock???? any chips???? (soflawolfsburg)

Upsolute takes out your stock chip, re-flashes it, and then puts it back into the ECU. If you take it to the dealer, your local Upsolute rep will have to 'flash' you back to stock mode. You can't do it yourself. If you wanted to do something yourself, you could buy a "spare" ECU, chip the "spare unit" and then you could swap entire ECU's before dealer visits...but to do this, you'll also need to buy a VAG-COM so you can reinitialize your immobilizer codes. This is kind of a pricey option.
There is a switchable program for upsolute chips (check out the forums on http://www.upsolute.com) but it's currently not available for the 2001's (AWW engine code). Maybe in the future? I hope so
edit: APR offers a chip that is switchable back to stock mode, although it's something like $900, compared to Upsolute at $350 (or something close) http://www.goapr.com

We do offer something that does this, it's our EMCS technology that allows you to retain your stock program along with our chipped program on one ECU. It is controlled by you through your cruise control stalk at any time. You can also have a race (100 octane) program added and a valet mode as well. You can also have a security code lock out applied too to keep anyone from playing with your cruise stalk to see what you have. Fortunately it isn't quite $900. The base chip is $499 and then the EMCS with the two program set up (stock and chipped) is an additional $149. Other options vary in price, give me a call for complete info and all the details. Hope this helps.
