It cost more than if you have a manual but you don't have to but 2 separate products it all comes as one package and still har cheaper than any other tuner.
I do still have it mate, still running sweet, not posted any videos on it recently because im working away at the moment and the car is garaged until i am back properly.
@STLCarsYT Cheers for the reply... I'm gonna go to them also, I think for a stage 1 map. Thr brakes are crap though on the S5. Maybe disks and pads first. Any thoughts?
Yea good thing with Jackal is free software upgrades to stage 2 once you purchase so can always upgrade later. Ive got a video on the brake upgrade i did on mine. The front calipers are rubbish on them standard go check it out, would defo try and replace calipers if you can.
Hey STL. Great video. Seriously considering the same upgrade. I believe we have the same car and I was wondering: 1) How does it behave in normal D position as against S and Manual? Also 2. I’m confused between what “stock locking SS on” is as opposed to the stage 1 tune you picked. Any ideas?
So in the CREC engine the Supercharger had a clutch the tune allows you to lock it so it's constantly engaged. In normal drive it isn't much different to standard. When in sport though it revs higher and changes much quicker.
This looks fantastic, I have a few questions. Did you get the B8/B8.5 S4/S5 Tune from the website? It doesn’t mention the CREC Engine on S4/S5. Did you get the Jackal Tuning Cable from their website? Do they ship from the US or is there a warehouse in Europe? Thanks man!
Hi mate, yes I bought the S5 tune, when you plug the cable in it automatically detects what ecu/engine code you have and then gives you the available tunes. With the cable they do ship to Europe, I used my friend as he already had one. Be sure to subscribe if you haven't already got more videos coming on the Jackal tune.
How has the map worked out after a while? I keep seeing Jackal everywhere, many thanks.
Yea its really good, no complaints
Bro I bought a stage 1 I tought it comes with a tcu software, but all I saw was “migration flash after flash log back in for tuning” noting else
What exhaust have you got on, it sounds nice but not too droney
It's a full custom exhaust. There is a video on my channel of it getting done, check it out.
What’s the 0-60 now with the stage 1? Contemplating getting it whilst it’s on sale lol
Haven't had chance to do any just yet, weather has been rubbish, will be filming a 0-60 video once it isn't wet.
3.8 with my SQ5 with KNN Intake
Ive done a 3.6 in the dry since doing this video
Did Shaun have to get MRC to remove their map ? I know in the in the past the ecu has been locked and can’t be overwritten unless they remove it
No, just loaded it straight on
Did you do a DSG adaptation?
Yea the TCU was tuned to
Had any issues with the car?
None at all, its been solid.
Did you have an upgraded heat exchanger when you tuned the car?
It's not a necessity for stage 1 but for stage 2 yea ideally you need to
3:16 there is in fact an additional charge for DSG lmao

How is the car running ? Do you still have it?
I do still have it mate, still running sweet, not posted any videos on it recently because im working away at the moment and the car is garaged until i am back properly.

Compared to mrc stage 1 is there much diffrence ? Mines currently mrc single pulley. But i have purchased jackall sauce hopefuly installing tomorrow
We've had alot switch from them and be very impressed with the difference.
I haven't actually ran MRC my friend Shaun has, we will do a video on his car soon to see the difference between MRC stage 2 and JACKAL stage 2.
Where is the video? Did it happen? @@STLCarsYT

@@STLCarsYT I see. Mines the CAKA engine. The convertible model. so may have slightly different tune options. Thanks and keep up the good work.
@@STLCarsYT is it also Ok to run this tune using normal premium fuel from UK pumps?
Yea the tune will be slightly different but it recognises what engine it is when you plug it in.
I run mine on 99 momentum from tesco
Have you or your friend have any reliability issues?
No, been great so far
@@STLCarsYTstill holding up well eh
Yes mate still running strong
@@STLCarsYT appreciate the response, just ordered my jackal sauce can’t wait 🙏🏽.

The CREC motor is only on the 16-18 A6, A7, and Q7
Not correct, in the UK S4/S5 from 2015-2016 have the CREC engines
Did not know that. thank you. How do you like the tune?@@STLCarsYT
No problem. Tune is awesome very impressed with it. Its seriously quick even just stage 1.
Damn they raised the price within the last two days of me looking at it 😭😂 went from $650 to $810
I got mine for $570 in February
Ended up getting mine the same time during the 15% off sale. Needed the cable so it was like 750 total
