10pm on a Friday night and it's being well spent putting together (the world's smallest and cheapest on the market 😉) tacho RPM converters 😄

Will soon have stock of 50 more - available to purchase on the website!

If you're keen for more information on the tacho RPM converters then have a watch of our YouTube video walk through. These are perfect for 20v, vr5 and vr6 swapped mk1 and mk2 conversions!

Would you rather the option to tune your own Haldex? Or make it fully locked with the TC off? What about doing a burnout with the hazards on? Whatever your preferred settings, you can choose any combination.

Let's make cool s**t.

For the first time in months, I got to take the Golf to an actual car show. I forgot how good it is to actually talk to other humans about the things we build and why we do it.

Let's build cool s**t!

Another month, another massive list of new features: hazards and TC button for burnouts or full lock. 0AY and RS3 support. Low power sleep mode. UDS support.

Let's continue to build this into the BEST Haldex controller IN THE WORLD. 🤙

The AnyScan was used to crack Insignia Haldex. I don't have scan tools available for Vauxhall and thought I'd try this out. Functionality is excellent, loads of support and their customer service alone has been impeccable. It's went on to scan the X5 before I bought it, so already had my moneys worth from it.

Definitely one for keeping.

I couldn't even tell you what steering wheel I've fitted, but what I do know is how to write code.

An opensource VAG LIN based steering wheel controller, capable of mapping out new wheels to older chassis, supports CAN for aftermarket ECUs, the world is your oyster.

Let's make cool s**t.

Massive shout out to who helped complete Generation 5 with a refurbished 0AY controller. For those wanting a Haldex controller but can't because your OEM unit is damaged, give these guys a shout. Couldn't get better service than what they've provided.

Generation 5 is now complete, with Golf R, RS3, S1 and all the other spicy chassis out there. Loads of new features: password protection, custom SSID, Learn feature, hazards and TC control. It's getting better every single week and it's all because the community is coming together to suggest new features!

Volvo or Gen6 next? I'll let the comments decide.

Swipe right! Can2Cluster and SpeedPulser working in harmony to make this EDC16 powered MK2 with a DQ250. Everything working: speed, RPM, paddles, EML. What a beauty! ❤️
