Does my car need Magnetic Ride for the APR Suspension Control Unit for Audi MQB?

Yes. The APR Suspension Control Unit for Audi MQB only works on cars with factory Magnetic Ride electronic dampers. It replaces the factory controller, OEM part numbers 8V0907376B, C, D, E, G and H, and does nothing on a car with passive dampers.

Does the APR Magnetic Ride controller keep the factory drive modes?

Yes. The factory Comfort and Sport settings remain. In each mode the APR controller adjusts the dampers in real time from inputs such as acceleration, braking, g-forces, steering angle, speed and damper shaft velocity, instead of switching between two fixed states.

Will the APR Magnetic Ride controller make the ride harsher?

No. In normal driving it uses the full range of the factory dampers to reduce bouncing and stiffness, so the car rides more comfortably and settles faster. It only firms the dampers when the way you drive calls for more control.

Can I use the APR Magnetic Ride controller with lowering springs?

Yes. APR states that the controller is compatible with aftermarket springs, anti-roll bars and other upgrades. It is a plug-and-play replacement for the factory unit, and the factory controller can be refitted at any time without a trace. Ask us about suitable springs.

Can the APR damper controller be updated?

Yes. The unit is unlocked and can be updated in the future, and the factory controller can be reinstalled at any time. The kit includes the software, and APR supplies installation instructions for the plug-and-play swap. The swap itself is plug and play.

Description

APR Suspension Control Unit for Audi MQB Magnetic Ride

The APR Suspension Control Unit for Audi MQB replaces the factory controller for the Magnetic Ride electronic dampers on MQB Audi models such as the A3, S3, RS3, TT, TTS and TT RS. The factory unit switches the dampers between a soft and a stiff state with little in between. The APR controller reads acceleration, brake pressure, g-forces, steering angle, speed and damper shaft velocity, and adjusts each damper individually in real time across its full range. The factory Comfort and Sport settings remain.

Comfort and Control

In normal driving the controller reduces bouncing and harshness and lets the car settle faster. Pushed harder, it firms each damper as needed for grip and balance, smooths weight transfer into corners and reduces body roll. On a straight-line launch it helps control weight transfer for better traction.

Real-time control of each electronic damper
Fully mapped to the factory damper capability
Retains factory Comfort and Sport modes
Works with aftermarket springs and anti-roll bars
Unlocked for future updates
Fully reversible, removable without a trace

Additional Information

The Bulletproof Automotive website contains many thousands of products purchased in multiple different currencies. All of the prices are entered manually and accurately at the time of entry. Due to the consistently fluctuating international exchange rates, at times prices may not be able to be honored at their original intended rate. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, unfortunately our website is unable to compensate dynamically for what can at times be volatile changes in the cost of items due to currency values fluctuating, changes in prices from suppliers, changes in shipping and import duties, and other factors. Rest assured that any order you place on line will be at zero risk to you in this area. If in the event your order cannot be fulfilled at the original intended website price we will offer you a 100% refund, no questions asked. We will continue to do our best to maintain updated prices and we will always continue to offer our price match guarantees as well to ensure our prices are always the best for you. In short, prices may change without notice. It is always advised to give us a call prior to placing your order online to confirm availability and to confirm current pricing.

Shipping Policy

Items that are in stock in the US, either at Bulletproof’s warehouse or at a supplier’s warehouse, are generally delivered within 7-10 days. Special order items from overseas take considerably longer. As a courtesy Bulletproof offers delivery estimates to our customers which take into consideration manufacturer availability and shipping schedule. These estimates represent our best guess based on previous orders from the manufacturer and do not in any way imply a guaranteed delivery window. Many manufacturers work in a “just in time” inventory system and often take 2-20+ weeks to produce an item once an order is submitted. All deliverable items are then sent to our Japanese warehouse. Bulletproof ships a minimum of one full ocean freight container every month from Japan, oftentimes more than one a month. Ocean freight takes an average of 4 weeks. Typically it breaks down to one week in Japan for paperwork and customs, two weeks by boat and one week in US customs/clearance. Due to the wide number of variables between manufacturer and shipping schedules, delivery estimates are simply just that – estimates. We attempt to estimate conservatively and we usually deliver faster than our estimates suggest. It is not Bulletproof’s policy to guarantee delivery time of any special order item, this is impossible for us to do. By ordering you acknowledge that there is no required delivery ETA and an order may not be canceled or altered due to manufacturing or shipping delays, all ETA’s are provided as a best guess only. Please review the full Terms & Conditions here.

BP Pricing Difference

We do pricing a little differently on our JDM brands and we believe in making things simple and clear. No hidden fees or surcharges. Every price you see includes the shipping cost to our office in Los Angeles, California and all the associated taxes/duties/fees for bringing the products into the US. The only shipping you ever pay is from our facility in the US to your location. Be wary of resellers that don’t include the cost of international shipping in their pricing on JDM parts. While we believe we’ll always have the lowest all-in price on JDM products, we offer a price match guarantee for all authentic parts purchased from authorized dealers as well. For many international customers, it’s much more affordable to ship from the USA than from Japan directly, as the air freight and ocean freight costs are typically much less. However, for customers looking to ship directly from Japan outside of North America, or domestically in Japan, we can provide pricing specifically for that scenario. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any pricing questions or concerns. Please email us at sales@bulletproofautomotive.com with any inquiries.
