In many other markets you have to buy a proprietary flashing device. That is only usable on one car while it is married to it and with most of those it is not tunable unless you have the dealer software (that is typically quite a bit more expensive). There are only a couple markets were there is only a small purchase required to tune the vehicle. With what is required in the modern ECU's I do not see that changing any time soon, as people cracking the ecus, developing the rom tables, and the dataloging algorithms should be paid for there time. I understand every one wants the cheap open device but there is a lot to be said for having something developed and continuing development on a commercial level.
