M84 and DBW

[audi4u]

Will the M84 ever be capable of doing DBW? I know Its marketed as "entry level" but we are 2 weeks away from 2011 and most (if not all) only use electronic throttle.

This is the only deal breaker for me.

Thanks

No, M84 has been deisgned as a lower cost ECU, and as such it will have no DBW or VVT. If you need these options, you can use the M400 / M600 / M800 / M880.

Good Day Jamie,
I would like to thank you for you prompt reply. You have answered my question.
I just would like to take the time to explain my situation(that may apply to others)
We do already own one m800 and two m600 units.
We fell in love with the DBW option on these units, and wanted to convert yet another late model car to Motec.

The car is a late model audi v6. We would like to run the car sequential injection and ignition.
ecu of choice would be a m600.

we would then need logging, dbw, and dual lambda.

The m600 has a base price of about $4000 with no options. To add the options would most likely be 2000+. So naturally seeing the m84 with a base price of $2500 with single lambda caught our eyes.

Now just to make sure we are the same page, I am not complaining about the price. I am just hoping Motec Inc would consider at least an upgrade to enable the use of DBW4 device.

I don't expect a reply, just wanted to throw an idea out there for Motec to consider
Thanks for reading

Hi Andre,

Thanks for the suggestions. However, there are no plans at this stage to allow DBW4 as the Mx00 ECUs have DBW.

Hi,
Please understand that the M84 was produced to replace our M4 and M48 ECU which we do not produce anymore so if you compare it that way the M84 starts to look pretty good.
