Also, if it could be used on the new car would current tablet owners be able to download the map for free? Thanks and like i said i understand u may not be able to answer this but it will help to decide whether or not to buy the tablet.
Unfortunately I don't know what the future holds with regards to engine revisions. All I can say is that if they use the same ECU hardware, it's likely that the current OFT will work without any firmware updates. The biggest changes would then be the OFT maps which would have to be developed from scratch for the new engine type. New maps, as always, would be free. The only thing we sell is the OFT hardware
