First time I have heard that secondary cat deletes require a new tune?

 

- The ECU Tune (installed) and Clutch kit was ordered direct from VAP
- The VAP cat deletes were purchased from an owner who was selling his car

How much will it be to add the VAP cat-deletes to the Existing Tune I have on the car? What will it do for the car vs leaving the current tune?

 

Cost would be zero..

Secondary catalyst deletes do not require a tune.

 

this handheld tuner looks totally different than the one I got when I ordered during the 2021 Black Friday deal. Are there differences ?

 

I received your email today and just responded. Morries Aston Martin from what I can understand, pushed you away from our brand and recommended Quicksilver and a different ECU Tuning supplier. After our communication and your instruction to them that you wanted VAP stuff, they did subsequently apply for dealer status and were approved on the 8th of February. They have not placed any orders with us since that time, and have not been trying to get in touch with us to confirm delivery date as you indicated. I've searched both our general email address and my own, and our ERP system and website for orders from them, and junk folders. Haven't received anything. So it appears they are BS-ing you, although I sincerely hope that I'm proven wrong. And given their resistance to using our products, I hope they are not throwing us under the bus on purpose. I hope to stand corrected, but these are the facts as far as I can ascertain them.

 

Morries has gone through a lot of changes in the past few years, and they now have new management with newer changes. While I'm sure Quicksilver is a great option that they have a dealership status the fact is there are a lot more opportunities for the 'New Morries' to offer the 40 to 50 Minnesota based Aston owners of the past (and new) generation upgrades having a VelocityAP dealership which is why I'd been trying to foster that for both Morries having the ability to install VelocityAP options, and of course your operation as well. Considering that likely 80 to 90 percent of the current area Aston owners would not do their own maintenance and installation of VelocityAP parts - everyone would win. Apparently, there was a problem with the credit card used and my order (I paid cash in advance) got lost without the new management on top of things, so I lost 3 weeks of the 10 weeks to get the part in. Not a huge deal, and I'd rather have the VelocityAP item than the Quicksilver. Not just because of the $200 advantage, but if I add a VelocityAP tune, I'd like to single source everything. I also would like Morries to offer dual clutch instead of Aston clutch's when they go bad, brakes that don't squeal and dust, things like that. Morries will no longer install parts not purchased from them which I understand because things can go wrong. This allows Morries to install VelocityAP items and stand behind their work. The new management is overhauling the business we hope for the better, and with Aston announcing all new product improvements for 2023, we can look forward to a stronger future (hopefully).

 

The dealer principal called me today. I think they should be able to sort things out to get your order placed pretty soon.

 

My flash device from them doesn't look anything like that. I must have an old one.

 

No idea...i had ordered a unit that came and then another one showed up at my door a few days later by mistake. im sure they all do the same thing

 

We had ran short on stock for our normal device (covid delays), to complete some orders we used another device we had in stock for other platforms..hence the difference between the device..etc.
