I had a Dtronic in my series III 3ltr GU Patrol transfered it to my series VI GU and was happy with it until I read about the Steinbauer P-Box. I sold the dtronic and brought a P-box what a great decision. Am I Happy you bet, I'm stoked. It drives so much better. This is not to say that the Dtronic is not a great unit but my feeling is the Steinbauer P-Box is better. I have no connection with any of these companys. Its just seat of the pants driveable feelings. My comparison after using both units.

Is a guarantee issued on the STEINBAUER-PBox?

For our STEINBAUER P-Box we exclusively use high-quality components, therefore we issue a 3 years’ guarantee to exchange units - appropriate usage and correct installation provided.

Does the power enhancement have a negative impact on the engine?

The power enhancement of the STEINBAUER P-Box is clearly perceptibly for the driver of the tuned car, although the enhancement is within the power reserve of engine, gearbox etc.
That means you can enjoy the improved performance of your car with no effect on its longevity and long term reliability.

Are there some particularities for vehicles with automatic-transmission?

No, you can use the STEINBAUER P-Box also for vehicles with automatic-transmission.

Does the fuel consumption increase??

You have to consider a low increase of fuel consumption in case of a pretty fast driving (between 0.3 and 1 ltr. at maximum depending on type of vehicle and weight).

If you maintain your manner of driving (also when you are using the power enhancement, in case of overtaking for example), you can expect the same or in some cases even a lower fuel consumption.

Is it possible to undo the tuning?

Yes it is, after unplugging the P-Box the car is at its original condition.

Do I have to shorten the service intervals?

The standard service intervals remain unchanged.

Is it possible to turn off the power enhancement?

Yes it is. With an optional remote control you can also turn off the STEINBAUER P-Box while you are driving.
