There are lots of obvious differences just from a quick glance of the counterfeit unit. It has hand soldered parts on the circuit board where the counterfeiters think it doesn't matter, not to mention the part numbers being ground off the chips with a dremel tool so that other thieves don't steal their copy design. We've tested this unit and I can say for sure that some users will have problems in some cases as we've identified several issues with this hardware.

To those who choose to support our small company with their hard earned dollars, we thank your for your support. The sale of our hardware makes possible the continued development of our freely distributed software. Our software and our support will remain free as long as we're able to keep the doors open through the sales of the hardware which we've designed and is manufactured in the USA (Washington & California).

Thanks,
Mike


Hi guys,


i´m new here in the Forum but i was reading here a lot. I´m from Germany and i discided a few month ago from a French dealer an Tactrix, like he said Genuine.


It took about 4 weeks when i recived a package from China. I´ve first tested the "chinese" tactrix pulling my stock Rom but while pulling the tactrix stoped working, it was "dead". After a contact with the dealer and another 4 weeks of waiting i got a new one from China for free.
The new one died installing the Drivers on my Laptop.


So i sended it back and buyed a Tactrix from a "Tactrix" Dealer in UK. After few days i recived the new Tactrix but it was the same chinese shit , with dreamelt Chips. With this one i was able to pull the stock Rom and write a Stage2 EL Rom ok before this one died.

Everybody here say that he sells the original Tactrix but for real they al sell th totis chinese cheep shit. For the last one i have payed 200 euros.
Finaly i was very angry and yesterday i´ve ordered the genuine from US Tactrix webside.


I like this new Rom on my car,it changed a lot.
This Tactrix is a great tool and y can´t wait to get the real american one!
