DSG Remap and
ZF Gearbox Tuning
A DSG remap from Autotune (NI) Ltd gets more out of the Volkswagen group's direct shift gearboxes on VW, Audi, SEAT and Skoda models. We also tune BMW's ZF 6-speed automatic gearboxes with xHP software.
Gearbox software works alongside an engine remap. It lets the gearbox handle the extra torque and changes how and when it shifts, so the car feels sharper on the road.
We check what your gearbox and engine software support before we start, and explain the options so you can choose the settings that suit the way you drive.
DSG Remap Services
Our DSG remap services cover the changes drivers ask for most on VW group cars, from higher torque limits to launch control. Autotune (NI) Ltd can also tune BMW ZF gearboxes, with settings for shift points, kickdown and the gear display.
Get in touch to discuss your car, and we will tell you which features are available for it.
Higher Torque Limits
Let the gearbox handle the torque a tuned engine makes.
Our DSG software raises the maximum torque handling, so the gearbox copes with a remapped engine instead of holding it back.
Higher Shift Points
Hold each gear for longer before changing up.
Automatic shift points can be raised, in sport mode only if you prefer.
The engine stays in its power band when you want it to, while normal mode can stay smooth for everyday driving.
Manual Mode Control
Stay in the gear you chose.
In manual mode, the software can disable kick-down and automatic upshifts, so the gearbox holds the gear you selected rather than changing for you.
DSG Launch Control
Faster, more consistent starts.
Launch control can be enabled and set up to your own requirements, giving quicker and more repeatable getaways on cars that support it.
Performance Shift Patterns
Gear changes set up for spirited driving.
Our DSG software includes performance-focused shift patterns, so the gearbox picks gears that keep the car responsive.
BMW ZF Gearbox Tuning
xHP software for BMW ZF automatic gearboxes.
As an official xHP retailer, we can set upper shift points for D, S and M modes, override kickdown, change shift speed and allow second-gear starts in M mode.
Booking Your Gearbox Remap
Gearbox software is usually done alongside an engine remap, but it can be added later. When you get in touch, tell us the make, model, engine and gearbox, and any tuning already done, and we will explain what is available and how long your car will need with us. Bookings are made by calling the office.
Matched to Your Engine Tune
Gearbox and engine software work best together.
When we remap the engine and the gearbox together, the torque limits and shift points are set up for the power the engine now makes, so the whole drivetrain works as one.
Tested on the Dyno
See the results for yourself.
Our 2WD and 4WD dynos let us run your car before and after tuning, so you can see the gains rather than guess at them. Ask about a power run when you book.
Test Drive Before You Pay
Every car is checked on the road.
Every car gets a test drive before you pay, and we are happy to talk through anything you notice.
If you have a question about your gearbox afterwards, just get in touch.
