Yes, but my unit hasn't been "married" to my car via "VIN" number yet so it is unlocked and can be used as per VAP.

So anyone can use it still. My sale thread got moved to the for sale section so look for it there for more information and fine details.

Checked it out, so then it's effectively impossible to just resell the VAP because they charge you $700 for the tune which is included in the original purchase price right?

Or does the tune always cost the $1000+700?

The Tune SW file cost $745 normally so the tuner tool cost $255 if you are trying to break it down.

Buying the package from me saves you $300 plus shipping on both items. And my stuff is brand new and located inside the USA as VAP is in Canada hence why the shipping cost so much.

From VAP it cost $2,000 plus shipping of both items

Buying from me cost you all in $1,700 with no shipping cost and tracking numbers.

PM me for more info so we don't go Off Topic here.

I am a bit confused here..... the tune definitely does not cost anywhere near $2000 from VAP..... it is around 1k regular price and around $700 when on sale when I purchased it.... and that includes the tuner and the tune.... but you already listed those so I have no idea where you came up with the other 1k? is that for the pulley? why are you selling yours BigCat, did you get rid of your car? I remember you had the tune applied and did some benchmark testing at a local shop.

Hi Raffi,

This is a power package which has both the tune and the pulley kit. That is where you are confused. The units are not on sale currently.

I traded in my XE and ordered a new F-Pace but the dealer fell through on their of the deal and I am stuck with the new parts.

So let me get that straight, they took your car as trade in and then efed you over on the deal ? isn't that illegal and warrant suing them? You are left with no car and no doubt lost money on trade in as they never give good deals on those.

It's not their fault the 35T motor is delayed and I don't want to wait. I went with another motor that VAP doesn't support.

well at least you came out with a car out of it then will you not miss the speed of the XE???? I was torn between the XE and F-Pace as well due to better family holding capacity but I am not really a big truck type of guy I think.... also the deals were so much better on the XE models. Has this changed at all?
