So I live in an apartment complex currently, and I bought a tune for my audi Q5. I also just bought a battery charger since I don’t want to risk messing up my ECU.

I for some reason figured I’d be able to charge the battery charger, unplug it after some time, then just use it portably. I was wrong. It needs to be plugged in to use.

So if you were in my shoes, where would you flash your ECU? Are there known places that have power outlets near places to park?

    If I were in your shoes i’d ask for a refund on that tune XD

    Adding power is done by upping boost, which puts more stress on everything. This is an SUV, not a race car, is it worth risking your expensive turbo and clutch ?

    Not to mention the tune will be erased if the car is ever updated by audi, which it will during maintenance.

      Car doesn’t have a turbo BTW. I also don’t plan on ever bringing it to a dealership, I’ve got a really good mechanic close by
