HPA TouchMotion AWD Programmer for Gen.1 Haldex 4-motion Systems

Compatibility

The TouchMotion AWD Programmer (TMAP) from HPA Motorsports is a plug and play device compatible with Gen.1 Haldex 4-motion controllers. Designed to be fully compatible with both OEM or aftermarket installed Haldex 4-motion differential controllers, the TouchMotion plugs inline and hands control of the rear end behavior over to the driver.

HPA’s TouchMotion AWD Programmer consists of three main components. A trunk mounted control unit, a cable to connect the new controller inline, and a wireless touch screen interface.

The touch screen Interface features a live interactive display that tells the driver how much torque is being transmitted to the rear wheels at any time and offers access to a number of basic and advanced configurations. The touch screen is merely the user interface for the TMAP system and does not need to be present to run the controller as the controller will operate under the last user settings inputted.

TMAP7

Through the touch of the screen, a driver can select not only the preset operating modes of the differential such as Stock, Economy, Sport or Competition – they can go beyond with Dynamic and Race-Speed where they can individualize settings based on driving habits and needs.

TMAP-2

Under Race-Speed Mode, drag racers can digressively or progressively adjust rear engagement. Example: when launching AWD vehicles from prepared surfaces, typically some front wheel spin is desired to better facilitate engine acceleration prior to full rear wheel power transfer, avoiding engine bog. As the speed down the track increases, the rear differential engagement can be scaled straight back to reduce drag and increase top speed.

Under Dynamic Mode, drivers can configure which modes to toggle between and what the transitions will be triggered by. Example: set in Economy Mode for daily commuting, the driver wishes to toggle straight into an aggressive full torque transfer configuration and back, when overtaking a vehicle may be required.

TMAP4

Within Advanced Settings, oversteer compensation can be reduced for drivers that wish to enable more drift tendency, and engagement of differential under braking can be toggled on or off depending on driving style, comfort, or usage habits.

HPA has developed a tool that will allow the driver to tune the drivetrain to meet their specific needs.

The left graph represents all preset modes performing an acceleration run from 40mph to 110mph. The right graph represents Stock, Competition, and Race-Speed Modes; the top line represents overall wheel horsepower, while the lower lines differentiate between front wheel horsepower and rear wheel horsepower.

TouchMotion Performance Suite

HPA has developed additional software for the TouchMotion that will allow users to measure their 0-60mph and 1/4 mile times. This add-on option will allow owners to take the user interface from vehicle to vehicle (as a performance box) in addition to adjusting the differential controller installed in their car.

Pricing

TouchMotion with Performance Suite                US$749.00

TouchMotion excluding Performance Suite        US$699.00

Review: Saying Goodbye to the CC V6

For all its size and its global reach, Volkswagen is still, in many ways, a deeply human company. There was, for instance, the Bugatti Veyron an ego project if ever there was one. Then the purchase of Ducati, a move most called folly. And then there was the Phaeton, the Volkswagen that most folks can’t afford. Not only were these moves all strange, I’m sure that they made VW’s accountants furious. None of them made good business sense, but they were all deeply interesting and they all are evidence of the heart that beats at the center of VW. Among these follies is the CC, a car that everyone agrees is rakishly handsome, but that no one really wanted to buy. The car couldn’t last, but the world is brighter for its having been in it. With the approach debut of the Arteon, it seems like a good time to look back on its sadly departing predecessor. The version I drove, because I live in Canada, is a V6 Wolfsburg Edition, which apparently isn’t available in the States. Nor is the V6, not as...

More 3.0-Liter TDI Settlement Details Expected by January 31

Volkswagen and the TDI Plaintiff’s Steering Committee were in court today for another status conference following the agreement in principal reached earlier this week. Little new information was given at the conference held before Judge Charles Breyer today, but the court ordered the parties to develop a formal settlement agreement, class action notices, and a class notice plan by January 31, 2017. For now, though, owners still don’t know how much to expect in compensation. Elizabeth Cabraser, lead Counsel for the Plaintiff’s Steering Committee reaffirmed in a statement today that the compensation would be “substantial.” The potential cost to Volkswagen is widely reported to exceed $1 billion, though, with an additional $225 million going into an environmental trust to help offset excess emissions. Buy back offers are still only expected for the oldest 20,000 of the roughly 80,000 VW Group vehicles sold in America with the 3.0-liter TDI engine. Those vehicles are mostly SUVs, like ...
