The GIAC Flashloader Mobile (FLM) Device is a pocket sized, stand alone tool that allows enthusiasts to load or remove GIAC performance programs on to their vehicle. The end user can use the device as a flashing tool, 25-channel logger, or performance mode switcher. As of now, all GTI, A3, Golf R, S3, and B8.5 S4 customers with a VIN based GIAC flash key(dealer installed flash) can now transfer their flash to the new Flashloader Mobile system.
How does this differ from the previous handheld Flashloader?
Whereas the Flashloader was simply a file switching device, the Flashloader Mobile Device is a full flashing tool. This means that you can reflash your ECU with performance files, original stock file, etc. from the comfort of your garage!
I already have a GIAC tune. How can I upgrade to the Flashloader Mobile Device?
If you already have a GIAC tuned ECU, please contact GIAC directly as there is a transfer process that must go through them.
How does the process work?
Once you order your Flashloader Mobile Device from us, there are one of two options. If you are able to read your current ECU part number (with a VagCom or similar scan tool), we will send you the Flashloader Mobile Device ready to go with your specific performance and stock files. If you are unable to send us your ECU part number upon ordering, we will send you the Flashloader Mobile Device and once you receive it, you will simply plug it in to create a read file, and we will send the necessary performance files to load onto your device.

What is the optional Race mode?
Race mode is an additional performance mode that is catered towards 100 octane, or E40 (ethanol blend) for IS20 power setups. Typical power gains are 20-30 horsepower above the 91 octane performance file. For IS38 power levels, it is not advised to run ethanol due to the OEM fuel pump's flow capacity.
How does pricing work?
The Flashloader Mobile Device is priced at $200, plus your requested performance file(s) cost. Use our drop down menus to choose your desired performance file and view the total price. Pricing shown includes the cost of the Flashloader Mobile Device.
