I'm guessing that yes, we don't all need cables individually, but we all will need licenses and flashes (I bet none of visconti's test subjects own a cable) despite visconti stepping around our direct question earlier, but, if he or ecutek wil sell it that way remains a mystery.

Now that I've had some sleep maybe I can explain this a little better
This is EcuTek's ProECU Kit.
Comes with Box, DesKey Security Dongle, EcuTek Cable and EcuTek software.
This package can easily comparable to other things.
Example-
Tactrix Cable $200
Cable Case $20
EcuEdit Standard/Pro datalogging & graphing software $120/150
$340/370 !
None of my test candidates have a cable simply because I'm out of stock and won't have anymore until next week.
If you don't want to buy the ProECU kit when you get a tune that's fine.
Shipping should be about $20-25 bucks round trip with insurance.
You'll need to provide me a refundable deposit for the cable.
I can't stress enough that everyone should really own their own cable - with out the cable you have no control. You cant flash the ecu, and you cant datalog. Can't flash back to stock for dealer service. Plus if the car doesn't 'feel' right you'll have to wait 2-4 days for a cable to arrive.

There is no edit version right now - Later down the road as the software improves there might be a end-user edit version available.
Bitch to them about the edit version - not me.
