Tune+Snow

Is there any way if i get a tune i can return it back to the stock horsepower and torque without disabling the car for 3 days and sending it back to the tuner?
Thanks

I think speedriven has a block tuner that can do this. Im not sure if it works with only their tune or any tune. Ask Jo from speedriven, he was quick to answer all my questions.

sounds like a lot of work... if you're talking about driving in snow with the tune... can't you just keep it in C mode?

Well yes I would but all the extra power would make it significantly more difficult than without the extra power.

Even if you increase the hp/tq in this car, you can still modulate the throttle as much or as little as you like.

Having a tune shouldn't affect snow driving unless you step on the throttle more than you need to for a given situation.

Put the car in "Comfort" and allow the car to short shift.

How is this ridiculous? It is a legit question because, yes it would be very beneficial if there was a tune which is a plug and play so i can take it out during the winter months.

I suggest you dont tune if you haven't since you think it'll be that big of an issue in the snow if you do get it tuned.

Go to the dealer and ask for latest ecu update to be loaded in.

Do you realize that the power of the car is TOTALLY related with the amount of throttle you put your foot into? A tune adds most of its power on the mid to high RPMs and I highly doubt it you would reach past 4k RPM if you are driving in the snow...

If the car can take Regular fuel your question has the same bearing as "Should I stop using Premium fuel on winter since the car has more horsepower on Premium?" Totally pointless.

Not trolling whatsoever. It was a legit question because it could pose a problem in the winter and that's why I asked so you guys can think it's a ridicolous question or whatever. If you dont have anything to contribute to this thread dont comment.

I am pretty sure OE Tuning offers this type of tuner as well.
