Full end user tuning. I'm excited!
This is mostly true. The only possible difference may be price. The BMW application was relatively easy to develop since we had the map address and some of the diagnostic functions provided to us by a helpful BMW tuner. And that was reflected in the low price. In this case, we are doing everything "in-house" so to speak. So the price may be slightly higher. Going through all the different rom types and creating definition files for each of them is, by far, the most time consuming part of this project. But it should still be very reasonable
