The software for the delta dash sucks. It crashed a lot. Having being able to change maps, It still did not work. And Ecutek locked the ecu's so you could not reflash them with Cobb or OS tuning. Bitch move on their part.
Next, While I really do respect your work. I know a lot of vendors are trying to jump on the hottest ticket before anyone else does. I am sure you can tune just fine. But for the rest of the world. Ecutek dealer support sucks balls. I had two motors blown over ecutek. By some big name brand tuners. I do not plan on having anymore.
It will also take more time to tune on a dyno unless they have live tuning now. So anyone should expect to pay for for a tune.
Are they still locking the ecu's down so you can remove Ecutek in the future?
How quickly are they going to update the rom files? And if a customer has a problem with the file. Not the tune. How quickly are they going to address it?
B.T.W. I hated Cobb from the get go with their ecu locking. But after Ecutek and OS, I had to bite the bullet, I now run Cobb AP/SD
I really think if Ecutek is going to get out of where they have placed themselfs, They need to start with open tuning to show how open they are to the "new" world!

I'm not sure what your purpose or goal is coming into this thread creating all this drama... If you think your saving a community from something your really not.
I'm sorry for your previous experiences - at the time of your issues EcuTek support was really for it's ProTuners not ProTuner customers. (shity i know)
It was the job of the ProTuner to make sure you were working ok - clearly this big name tuner failed at that.
Some times when your working with new bleeding edge type of stuff you can have issues.
If you read my posts I'm very clear on whats going on
New products, new software, new pricing.
btw I'm happy your enjoying your Cobb AP w/ SD. Since EcuTek supported Speed Density for over a year before Cobb I was one of the first Cobb alpha testers giving them some very helpful information / pointers

Supporting ecu reading and flashing w/ flash recovery are very different.
I sincerely hope it flashes as well as it reads.
