I understand your business model. I just think it's a mistake. I hope you reconsider.

It has taken us several hundred hours to define all the tables in the Denso ECU. We have purchased a vehicle for testing. We have also put a world class Subaru tuning on retainer. All this has been necessary in order to be able to launch a finished product with fully tested baseline maps. While still giving the flexibility of open source ROM editing to those who want to take advantage of it.

Within the month, we will be adding datalogging and graphical displays to the Tablet as well. This isn't inexpensive and does need to be justified by a positive cash flow as with all other viable businesses. We have a programming team that needs to make a living after all A $495 single car tuning device that offers datalogging, storage capacity, graphing, diagnostics, open source map editing and free automatic updates is a pretty good deal in my book. If the single car part is a deal breaking for you, that's okay. Everyone has different goals and priorities. For us, it's to be able to keep doing what we are doing and to provide free updates/enhancements as time goes by But if you want to discuss what you want this product to be, instead of what it is, perhaps that is best left for another thread.
