Edition 30 owners with Bluefin ?

[182_blue]

yeh, wonder why they connect up to the pc now, the old map used to be stored on the handset ?, do they modify your current map and send it back, or just send you the stock uprated version back ?, wonder if they check for fault codes ?

apparently they do check for fault codes and let you know. they have a look at your map, alter it and send it back to you. your original map is held on the handset. if you ever buy another vw group car you can re-use the bluefin, superchips will reset it foe £350 ish- cheap remap for the future. the hand set will also immobilise your car if you are going to leave it for a while, you cant start it even with the key, added bonus. a few people dont rate the bluefin, but i've found it to be brilliant. each to their own. a carbon fibre front vw badge has knocked loads of weight off as well which has improved performance no end. ( i blame red robin for that one, it was only £118 plus £28 import duty )but it saved me having to paint the original one for £5

one thing , man on phone said the old sock map is kept by superchips and not on the hanset, if so how do you return to stock, or do they just take a copy of it ?, also if they do remove your old map when you first connect the bluefin is the car rendered useless (without a map) untill you get the download, or was bloke on phone talking out his bum LOL

[sunnylunn]

talking out of his bum, the standard map is copied to the handset even when you have sent the map to superchips its still on the handset. when the uprated map is on your car you just plug handset in and it swaps map back to standard and vice versa. you can do it as many times as you like. ring superchips and speak to somebody in technical, they are really helpful. it really couldn't be any easier to use.

yeh, my ST one was very easy, the nutter on the phone confused things lol THX mate

superchips send you the handset, you plug it into the port under the steering wheel and download the standard map, takes about 20 mins. connect the bluefin to your pc after you have installed the supplied cd software, it sends your map to superchips. mine took 1hr to get back, they text or email to tell you its ready. plug the bluefin back into your pc and it downloads the uprated map. plug it into the port in your ed30 and 20 mins later you've got yourself a missile...

Hey guys,

Do the Bluefins work with Apple Macs or is it just pc’s... does it say on the software supplied if it’s MAC OSX???
Thanks... Hotrod

[sunnylunn]

pc only, ive got a mac so had to use my brothers to sort it. just to clarify, the bluefin copies the standard map to the hand set, you can still drive your car as normal once the map has been downloaded. it swaps maps with the updated one when you connect to car after you have received the uprated one back from superchips.

thanks sunnylunn, for the prompt info... cheers... hotrod
