How is Malone Tuning for your VW different than other offerings on the market? Malone tunes are not generic "tuning box" upgrades - a less effective method that often skews OBD2 data causing inaccurate injection and boost data. Malone custom tunes allow for the fine adjustment of boost pressure and fuel supply according to specific RPM points. The result is control over boost spikes, boost creep, and smoke levels. "This tune will make you smile the first time you get on it. This truly is a night-and-day difference from stock." — Customer Review

VW has specifically developed this radio as an upgrade to it's older model vehicles so you can be sure it will be a clean fit and most importantly, sound great!
