????? Voodoo RPMs?I would not mess with voodoo RPMs
With the history of limp mode. I think itās already great. SC a no go from what Iāve seen. best set up Iāve seen is a twin turbo.????? Voodoo RPMs?
Are you saying you wouldnāt tune a 350? If so, why?
I have no earthly idea what you just said!With the history of limp mode. I think itās already great. SC a no go from what Iāve seen. Twin best set up Iāve seen
I don't think you fully understand all the functions of this device....or instead of buying a redundant piece of tech, they could be doing this as an Android app with a USB-C to OBD2 cable. 100% chance this device runs Android, anyway.
And I guess just nobody has decided to make this app? Wonder why...guess they don't like moneyAnything that can be done through OBD2 can be done on an Android app. The tuners are just choosing to lock you in with hardware.
Ridiculous comment. The clear reason is that they want to hardware lock the devices to the cars, which literally is to ensure that they make money (and that no one uses a tune on multiple cars without paying for it). Again, there's a 99-100% chance that this device actually runs ANDROID, in a dedicated device. They don't write new operating systems for things like this. If not Android, it's some version of Linux, which Android is also based on...And I guess just nobody has decided to make this app? Wonder why...guess they don't like money
Nobody is claiming it's a different operating system, but your phone is not capable of writing to your car, which is the issue hereRidiculous comment.

Again, the reason for a dedicated device is for hardware locking the device to the car. You don't have to agree for me to be right.
There are plenty of Android phone apps that write to the car... The choice to not use for programming is due to hardware locks, nothing more. Even a cheap laptop with Forscan and a $20 eBay cable can write to the car. Think it through. Perhaps you're confusing the hardware limitations of Apple iPhones, which would be prevented from doing it by Apple, not be hardware limitations, actually.Nobody is claiming it's a different operating system, but your phone is not capable of writing to your car, which is the issue here
That app will not write to a mustang, which is what we all driveThere are plenty of Android phone apps that write to the car...

Just a quick search on the Google Play Store... if one app can do it, any app developer can do it. Again, reason for a dedicated device is hardware locks.... but that cost is transmitted ENTIRELY to the consumer. This benefits only the tuners, not in any way the customer.

this device is not locked to any car. Additional licenses are 125 but you could have 10 cars and you still only have to buy the device one time and $125 isnāt that much for a licenseRidiculous comment.

$125 to add a '1' to the count of ECU serial numbers?this device is not locked to any car. Additional licenses are 125 but you could have 10 cars and you still only have to buy the device one time and $125 isnāt that much for a license
