Hey guys, this is my first post here.  I have been a long time lurker/reader, but I would like to begin making moves and implementing some of what I have been reading.  However, I want some quick clarification if you don't mind. 

I have a tiptronic, but the most indepth xdf file available is for the M box.  Can I use a L-box original .Bin file and then load the M box XDF and directly adjust this way?  From what I have read the hardware within the ECU's are the same, so it shouldn't matter if I bought an original tiptronic ECU should it?

Has anyone managed to do any work with the Audi S4/A6 TCU?  It seems that this would be a huge asset with these overly soft trans setups.  Many vendors offer this as a tuning option, so it seems that grassroots folks must have already done work on this end as well.

Thanks for all of the info thus far, I've found this forum to be quite a huge asset to those who don't care to do OTS tunes.

Right now my car has an APR stage 1 ECU which was included when I bought it.  I doubt that I will want to mess with this ECU, so the idea was to pick up a spare box and modify that one and then sell off the current ECU.  This is why I wanted to verify that the hardware is all the same between tip and manual cars.

"stalled" is a good term to use regarding the TCU development .  Are there any threads that pertain to work that has been performed thus far?  I haven't been able to find or come across any.

I guess I can't answer that question, I just assumed flashed.  I'll open the case and verify.  I kind of like the idea of having a second ECU handy to play with.  I own a galetto as well as KKL cable but haven't toyed with either yet.  I'm still researching and also haven't heard back from MXL regarding a checksum license.

That would be cool.

Everything looks 16bit, but there are some odd structure types that i've not quite figured out. For example, at 0x64778 you see what could be confused for axis definitions for 7 point maps, but obviously arent... Lots to do here.
