It's not a branded map. It's a professional tuning guy that  I have been going to with my last 3 cars. It was putting out 296bhp on the dyno after the map. The pedal box seems to be the last missing piece of the jigsaw!  :rolleyes: yes I don't see how they could be linked. They definitely are though as it started working as soon as I turned the box off.

Well I hope you get it sorted :smiley:

Yes Watts, Kalimon was very helpful as you can see ! :evil:
I am using sport  with 1 green light. That's what I settled on. Any more than that and traction control system working overtime to try and put the power down (car is mapped). But yes the auto hold not working is baffling me. I did a scan with VCDS and no error codes either. I'll have another look tomorrow.

Yes very strange although iv only had mine fitted a few days I know iv no issues with the auto hold or any other problems

I took my pedalbox off yesterday and what a difference that makes:
As I was so used to just moving my accelerator foot very delicately I continued to do so and hardly used a drop of fuel on my commute!
Did I mention the car felt a bit slow? No? Maybe I'll gloss over that bit.

before anyone asks me i thought id post this in here as i know how much you guys love the pedal box




These are the new features of the PedalBox+:
.......PerfecTune
For a perfect tuning result, the PedalBox+ can be individually adjust to each vehicle:

Individual tuning of the PedalBox+ on your own vehicle
Perfect adjustment of all programs to the accelerator pedal
PerfecTune succeeds in 3 simple steps


Can anyone shed light on this "PerfecTune" feature on the pedal box +?

I recently fitted a PB+ and have just been driving it without having followed the "PerfecTune" instructions.  That is, install, then drive. 

The car drives fine as is, but I'm wondering if this tuning feature will give me anything in addition to just the regular plug and play?

Does the question refer to the old pedal box or is it the new updated one?
