I'm the first person to bag the EcuWreck guys, but can see they are on a hiding to nothing if they try to come in here and try to defend themselves.

It's quite obvious that someone has had the benefit of their (the EcuWreck tuners) R&D, but isn't giving them due credit for how much time it has saved him.

I've done my R&D from scratch (using brzEdit on an R&D car I bought) and as cumbersome as flash tuning is, can't imagine how painful that would have been if my flashing and logging software was locked to a device that I couldn't edit my maps on.

I don't sell canned tunes, nor do I commit the DBW fraud that we all know many tuners do ... so I don't care that much about this thread. It's the obvious hypocracy on display here that raises my eyebrows.

I do think people need to stop adopting an almost religious attitude to these things. I tried to warn you guys when you all thought Visconti was the Messiah. I'm just suggesting you have a more open mind about what's going on with this OpenFlash gadget.

Until RomRaider is up and running for this platform, you are all just targets for someone to make a quick buck.
