I have a brand new GTS 5 Black. The app works initially, but after closing the app and shutting off the vehicle for a period of time, the app fails to pair with the Racechip. It hangs on "connecting". The only workaround is to clear the app data and re-pair the Racechip. It's super annoying and not worth the $44 add-on price that I paid. Please fix the app for better reliability!

The chip isn't worth the money, compared to a remap of the engine, which also is less likely to put stress on the engine/turbo as it is only actually connected at the head block and the TPS so there isn't "much" being changed to notice. I have changed my driving style and MPG went up. I sent mine back and got a full refund via eBay - it didnt perform as discribed, just doesn't deliver. App when connected was a brilliant interface and responsive quick change of mode.

installed the chip on to the engine, tried to connect to bluetooth failed multiple times until decided to check chip itself, the reason for not connecting was the serial on the manual and the serial on the chip were not matching, after trying a serial from the chip i got connected. app is straight forward, lacks info in "Fine Tune" section still hunting the differences in numbers, at the moment race is on 4 sport is on 3 and eco is on 2. fast connection after first pair.
