The fact is some of them do offer them, you just have to ask.

There are some countries, like australlia where ecutek has sole distributors (MRT in this case) so if you don't get your tune from MRT in australlia you don't get an ecutek tune.. period. And if you manage to get an ecutek tune from someone other than MRT and MRT finds out... EcuTek will boot you.

Trust me when i say tuners are driven by customer demand. If enough people say to their tuner, "I don't want EcuTek, i want BRZedit" they will offer it. Same will be true when ecuflash comes out. The guy that know how to tune will rise to the top since maps will no longer be locked and everyone will be able to see their work, the hack tuners will fall by the side and move on to new markets. It may take a couple of years, but it will happen.

EcuTek has some great features, but they ARE NOT end user friendly. The tuners are their customers, not us.
