Description
APR Mobile is a simple yet powerful tool designed to enhance the APR tuning experience.
APR Mobile installs on the iPhone, iPad, or iPod and provides a wireless connection to the vehicle’s engine control unit or ECU. Once connected through APR’s required Bluetooth dongle and flashed with the required and compatible APR ECU Upgrade, APR Mobile can be used to access APR’s EMCS program switching features, read and clear fault codes and data log the ECU at high data rates. The app can also be used to access APR’s latest news articles, locate dealers in APR’s network and review previously saved data logging sessions.
With direct access to the ECU, APR Mobile has the ability to support and interact with any functionality APR codes into the OEM ECU.

Ratings and Reviews
Crashes and disconnects
I can’t seem to keep the dongle connected. If an app switches to foreground and I flip back to the APR app I can’t get it to reconnect to the car unless I turn off the car and unplug the dongle etc.. lots of trouble on the latest update with that.
Also viewing logs causes lots of crashes and I can’t seem to load some historical logs in demo mode without crashing constantly.
Very useful but there are some limitations
I’ve had my APR Mobile since the week it came out. I’d say my favorite part about it is the diagnostics. I had an ignition coil fail randomly and I could easily determine which cylinder it was. Great for when you don’t have a laptop with you for VCDS or other diagnostic devices.
I also like the data logging part but only to some extent. I have VCDS which can also data log but do many parameters at once. I also have Polar FIS which shows me all the important parameters at once on my MFD screen.
Things I’m not a fan of:
- Lack of user adjustability beyond program switching and EMCS features.
Things I wish could be done but probably can’t happen for liability (understandable):
- Enable/Disable features with TCU upgrade
- Adjust launch control limit if you have TCU upgrade. Would come in handy for 3 setting LC
- If exhaust burble came with future tune updates like the RS models or facelift MK7.5 Golf R/ 8V S3 get from factory, be able to enable or disable features like that.
Verdict:
Despite the small limitations of this program, I still would highly recommend this to anyone who doesn’t have OBD II readers or VCDS for diagnostics. It is a very useful tool for quick diagnostics and makes the EMCS features (if equipped in your tune) much easier to use over the cruise control buttons.
Great add on
I have had mobile for 2/3 years. Its awesome for clearing fault codes and for diagnostics. I’m able to run the car, data log and send outputs to my shop from anywhere.
Only issues I’ve had are related to have a few app updates that have impacted functionality. That said, the APR team has been super responsive and they have done a killer job with bug fixes and support.
