I applaud all of you for your patience .... CEL > Dealer visit > wait > install replacement part > drive > CEL > rinse repeat ..... I would have been livid buying a premium product for a premium price and get something that isn't working right

I was livid for a while with my issues with the Stage 1. I even began pushing the dealer for a buy back considering my considerable out of service time. Ultimately, the new wiring harness fixed the issues, and I've been trouble free for about 20K miles.

Dealer install, with the Dinan backed warranty is great. It's a tricky thing to modify these cars to do much more, and to get it right all the time is even harder. What kept me a customer was their willingness to get it right and make sure I was happy in the end. Dealer and DINAN.

Same here.
My 3rd unit is still CEL/error free, after ~2 months and ~2K miles.
Fingers crossed...

Agree with Dealer and Dinan. Both were really good to me. Especially the dealer. Great loaner and great dealing with Dinan. Yes, it's expensive. Yes it's an expensive car. You get what you pay for and the service (and performance) has been exceptional for both. Dinan CAI on Friday!

The V2 seem pretty new and not sure people who paid their money for stage 1 are dropping more for the V2 for now. Let us know your point of view on it !

Since they gave me a full refund for my EliteV1, I am holding out for the Dinan B58 flash tune due in 2019Q2

tennisfreak · 11-13-2018, 08:18 AM

I posted this in the other tuning thread but have yet to see any response from Dinan_Engineering.

Posting here too in hopes they give us something.

Dinan_Engineering can someone please explain to us what is going on?

I am a stage 1 owner who is/was waiting on stage 2.

Why has stage 1 been pulled from the market?
What is the purpose of the v2?
Why have the number of connections been reduced from 4 to 2? Is this because of all the failures on stage 1? If so, as a stage 1 owner, should I be concerned?

Your responses would be greatly appreciated.

If they don't trust V1 enough to keep it around why should I keep it on my car?

The fact that they are ditching V1 completely is very concerning.

Between that and all the hassles with the failures I might just get mine removed...

Called Dinan_Engineering and no answer.

Starting to get concerned.

I sent an email to support.
