Just ask Niki to do it before it goes in

I have it on my dsg and when I asked him he said it's part of all the maps.
You hold the brake and stomp on accelerator to change from 1 to 5. 1k rpm is map 1, 2k rpm is map 2 etc.

It's not just manuals.Ok cool. I'll be asking for that feature then

Yes there are always 5 different maps depending on engine Operating temps, intake air temps etc so the switchable ones are just the ability to turn down the power manually rather then letting the engine Operating perimeters decide, :happy2:That's news to me. So you're saying during a normal drive the ECU will automatically switch between the 5 maps Niki's loaded? I thought things like knock detection and timing retard would be active within each selected map, rather than the map itself switching. What about the k04 2+ maps that don't get the switchable option?

I would edge caution if you select setting 5 for a normal engine temp setting with a cold engine.I have for the past year. I leave it on 5 all the time.
Not advisable :smiley: :slap:
As with any turbo car, not giving it full beans untill it's up to temp. Just drive normal in map 5 till warm.

Thing is as already mentioned though I just ran the car on the Top Setting number 5 all the time, I would actually prefer not to have it switchable as it is a feature I would never use and always doubted that the correct map was set when I was driving the car.
On the 6R I have not got it switchable.

I would have thought it's just the boost levels and N75 ramp rates that differ between the maps. Intake temps, water temps etc are all standard parameters the engine needs to function regardless of boost level.

You now have to pay extra for the Switchable map option, I had it on my last Edition 30 as it was running 330LB/FT of Torque on the OEM Clutch so just in case it slipped I could select Map 4 which was circa 300LB/FT.

Likewise. I just go for 'a map' and be done with it. I can't see any scenario in my daily driving where I'd want to turn the boost down, or run a standard map.

Never seen the need to have switchable mapping even though I have Revo and the SPS device so have a lot more adjustability. Just dont be so heavy with the right foot at low RPM where the clutch struggles.
I do like the ability to put it back to standard power and even the valet mode if I ever have to entrust the car to a garage or anyone other than myself & the other half

A button that requires the engine to be off, ignition on, pedals to be pressed in sequence, then the ignition to be switched off again before restarting the car...... :signLOL:Oh yeah because cars are never turned off are they! BTW you do not have to turn the ignition off again once you've selected your map.

Each to their own, it I often find map5 a bit aggressive for daily driving, I see this option similar to a 'sport' button

That is what the Linear Pedal Map option is for :happy2:

Nope, I can change it with the engine running and even whilst driving (Lot easier on a Mk2 Leon than it would be on a Mk5 Golf) :signLOL:A button that requires the engine to be off, ignition on, pedals to be pressed in sequence, then the ignition to be switched off again before restarting the car...... :signLOL:Oh yeah because cars are never turned off are they!

Disappointingly I was never asked by RTech about what sort of map I wanted, they simply took my keys and got on with it

The reason I want that feature is my wife is a horrible driver and as we have kids too much power is really a bad idea. I can then lower the boost if she's using my car.

I am planning this remap as an alternative to the revo map with switch. When I asked about it they said it was just boost level that are changing.

Good plan. Map 1 is very 'flat' so perfect for her :happy2:
