RS Tuner purchasing help

[Cookson]

I dont understand this, do I NEED the extra things?

 

[CabinFever]

This is what had me confused. I wanted to purchase one from Henk for my R26, but there's a VIN 95 euro increase!?

It says that the stage 1 comes with the purchase, so I'm strugging to see what this charge is, seeing as like you said, it cant be unchecked?

 

[wentworthmeister]

This seems to confuse a lot of people. I don't know for sure, but I'd say the VIN field has something to do with locking the rstuner device to the car's VIN (for licensing purposes). Doesn't make much sense to charge extra for it though, so maybe it's got something to do with maps?

 

[Cookson]

And he wonders why folk used to moan

Just email Henk mate, but don't expect an enthusiastic response!

 

[Gouldy]

Same.

I am wanting to order one today but I am unsure of all the extras. I just the very basic RS Tuner so I can map the car and then that's it.

Just select none Ryan, all you need is the rs tuner and the lead that's included with it, the first box is the map that you want included

 

[Cookson]

You can't unselect the VIN option though, so its 180euro for the tuner, then 49euro for the vin thing

May aswell wait for a second hand one to pop up.

Thought maps were 5euro each?

I think the term to explain the price increase is greed.

Thats what cookson is saying, you have to buy a map on top of the price of the RS Tuner and there is no way to unselect it

 

[Gouldy]

FFS.

The basic RS Tuner kit to map my 182 comes in at £237.79 including delivery and fees. what the actual f**k.

 

[Sanders]

Best to get one used then matey

by the time i have bought a second hand one, had it unlocked and bought the map and the license it adds up to the price of a new one anyway

 

[Gouldy]

all that and it wont let me buy one anyway. ffs

 

[Cookson]

So, the maps are actually 50euros, not the 5 euros they used to be??

 

[Gouldy]

yes man.

 

[Cookson]

PMSL. f**k THAT then. Will go to RS Tuning

 

[Gouldy]

thats what im thinking now tbh. rs tuner thing has turned out to be a f**k on

 

[Sym0n]

The bubble is due to burst for Henk, the greedy c**t.

 

[Gouldy]

im actually gutted, i really wanted one of these seen as my engine is staying near standard. still waiting for a reply from henk

 

[Martin_172]

these used to be good because of how much cheaper it was to map your car it made it worth while not going elsewhere but now your just as well getting it done by a mapper

 

[Gouldy]

a live map is pretty pointless on a near standard engine though, apart from the raised limiter. live maps are better but IMO on a near standard car the RS Tuner still wins. purely because its still £100 cheaper than a live map.

 

[richo]

So for your £240 you get the rstuner and one performance map?

apparently so, yes

then dont get a live map just get a performance map by someone else, were getting them for cliodci.net owners for £200 per car!

 

[domjolly]

Sorry to be an idiot but is this now what you have to do
Buy rs tuner 2nd hand (for instance)
Buy licence to unlock it (€55)
then buy a rst and cal file for it (€50) or does that come with the licence

f**king best not be or I'll be selling 2nd hand rs tuner I just bought and getting a Map at jms tuning

 

[Gouldy]

After further discussion with henk maps for CS member are 19 euros and not 49. Email him first to confirm this.

 

[domjolly]

So how do you buy the maps for €19? instead of the €49 on the website

 

[Cookson]

6 months ago they were 5euro a pop.

He can f**k off now

OEM maps are 5 euros, dont quote me but im pretty sure the performance maps were never 5 euros...

 

[Gouldy]

For the price I have got mine new I wouldn't bother with the second hand RS tuners. I just paid £215 including delivery and map for my 182.

The second hand RS tuners are about £110 ish? Plus the map and the unlock license, which would work out at about £180 ish. (£ not euros)

For me i don't think that they are very reasonably priced.

I suppose then though you can sell them on for £110 meaning a map cost £75

 

[Gouldy]

Yea pretty much. It's still a bargain IMO. Especially if you are like me and you just want the car to rev higher to 7800 safely.

 

[Blue Mez]

So who in here has a 182 and wants to just buy an RS Tuner and put the performance map on?

 

[Sym0n]

Yeah you're right, they were free (included in the purchase price).
