In other markets that don't have great tools like EcuTek you buy all the software and hardware up front and can tune as many cars as you want. - this is the way with bosch and siemen computers
The investment ends up being more than $25k - your also working with a company that has absolutely no incentive to continue development on their work.
Yes - I have worked with a auto - it's neat but I prefer the manual
As for the price of the tune I'm not really sure what you want me to explain.
There is a cost for the hardware to flash the car, then a license that goes to EcuTek. That adds up to $600.
My time and hard work on the tune is worth something....
On sub-30k cars I normally do $350 for tunes unless I'm on the dyno etc
The more expensive cars are $500 a map
Currently selling EcuTek Juke packages for $975 - they are flying off the self - they also have the same price break down.

Im sure you prefer the manual lol. I would too. I was more or less asking if you have or are going to start working on trans tunes or features like launch for the auto?
Im sure its a ways down the road as everyone right now is more concerned about the engine.
Thank you for the explanation although I am not to sure whether I agree with it or not. There are other tuning companies out there that have their own custom made software that do not charge license fees to their customers but only a one time fee to their vendor for their product. An example would be Trifecta Performance.
I am glad they are flying off the shelf for you though
I am truly interested and when the time comes I will be getting one as well.
