User base ? Lol no

How do you think "open source" happened , do you think a team of guys came together and did free work?

Ecutek was hacked , then ecuflash a company that gave away free software as so long you bought they're cable came around. How ecuflash came around and was funded is a entire different story. Anyways ecuflash comes out with Ecu defs that were identical to ecuteks.. Sooo strange.

Then some guys who to this day still don't understand Ecu flashing continue to build Ecu definitions... All by the way are based on stuff that was already stolen. Yes a lot of great stuff has been done for free but none of it could have been done if stolen stuff wasn't put in their hands

All the handwork was done and stolen

So show me someone that knows how to figure out Ecu communication do the work and give it all to you for free with nothing to gain......

Trust me I already know someone that can build this software and write custom code and has nothing todo with ecutek.. But he wants $$$

Actually know a second guy that already knows how the Ecu communicates and flashes ..but he's .involved with making dealer tools so go figure.

I would love to see some guys come together and do something for FREE but everyone is waiting around for a handout.

Options and competition are good for keeping pricing and feature advancements in check.
