Hi everyone, is there anyone running DQ500 with V3 successfully? If so, which version are you running? Would be great if you can share your feedback on this topic. Thank you ; ) ---

I would say solo or andrei are the ones to talk to. See this post. > [@DQ500 from a 2016 Audi Q3 2.0 TSI is supported by Ecumaster Black?](https://community.ecumaster.com/t/dq500-from-a-2016-audi-q3-2-0-tsi-is-supported-by-ecumaster-black/261): > > Hey guys, Who have knowledge about the DQ500 gearboxes please advise. I am considering a DSG swap in a Honda using Emu Black. From what I studied I understood that I need a DQ500 with Continental mechatronic and No immobiliser. I found a unit locally (code: RBW) claimed to be from a 2016 Audi Q3 2.0 TSI, but they don’t have its vin code. Does anyone know if the gearbox from that model/year is the one I need? Is the Immo present only on MQB (aka Bosch) mechatronic or it can be on the PQ35 (… ---

No it will be a 1.8T 20v project running dq500 from rs3 with diesel TCU. When you say ‘‘Gateway messages’’ what exactly is being sent here? What information is this from EMU to the TCU? ---

> [@LiriMapping](#): > > When you say ‘‘Gateway messages’’ what exactly is being sent here? What information is this from EMU to the TCU? If the DQ500 was selected the messages normally send by gateway where always send (even when gateway emulation was disabled). So if you have a gateway module it cause the issue on the bus. ---

@ANDREI did you also need VSS input beside the speed sensor on the gearbox? ---

Yes VSS input is mandatory into the ECU because it is reported to gearbox over CAN and the DQ500 has the shift points based on the VSS (Speed) ---

Thanks a lot Andrei! I see your running your DSG on V3. How is the DSG control working for you on V3? ---

I moved to Maxxecu. Maxx more comfortable and and closer to the stock ECU ---

Ok fine! In the time you were running EMU Black with V3, was the DSG control good? Were you happy with it? ---

I wasn’t happy with how the DQ500 worked on the Emaster, so I switched to the Maxxecu. ---

I don’t have a DQ500 but a fully build R32 turbo on DQ250 stage4 with clutches on the latest version V3 on emu black and drives like OEM. ---

Yeah, I also did one this year. DQ250 has a different operating logic and does not relly on VSS.
