Tuning your vehicle with APR Software has never been easier thanks to the APR Ultralink! 

With the Ultralink you can tune your vehicle with APR Engine Control Unit (ECU) and APR Transmission Control Unit (TCU) Upgrades right from the convenience of your own home, all on your own! It connects your vehicle directly to the Ultralink Marketplace, which is our online store filled with tens of thousands of tunes supporting most of the vehicles in our catalogue.

The Ultralink lets you download and install new engine and transmission tunes, update to new file versions, jump to a new stage, change octanes and program modes, configure adjustable features such as launch control, torque levels, speed limiters, and other features, read and clear fault codes, reset flash counters, and more!

We also kept our existing APR software owners in mind when creating the Ultralink. There’s no need to purchase a tune twice! Your vehicle is already in our database as an existing customer.
