sorry it's a pet peeve lol. |
Yea definitely. However, it does "open" the tune file itself which is what you need to modify the tune for your car. In that way, I consider it a huge step forward and much more pro-consumer than the Ecutek business model.
There's really nothing "open" about the device, though, from what I can tell. But its the tunes I really care about. I'm also a little confused about the nature of the tune files themselves and whether those are truly open.
