All my kits are preloaded with a license file.

Just make sure to update the program when you get the kit (it should recommend you do this when you connect the car). And pull info means you have to send John the dongle id (6 digit letter/number combo from the usb dongle) and last 6 digits of your vin so he can put together the actual tune for your car.

ft86me thanks for asking the questions, I had the same questions myself. My car acted a little funny on start-up the other day, so I'm scared to mess with the tuning if the motor is gonna start giving me problems. As long as the car keeps running fine over the next week or so I plan on getting one of these tunes soon after. I'm just still a little worried about my warranty.

no problem! just keep in mind the process can be slightly confusing and they are suuuper busy so you may have to wait to get your tune. got my stuff today and have a ticket waiting to get my file.

how many maps do we get with ur tune? e.g. 91 pump gas map and another race gas map. And if we do, can we switch between them without the laptop?

Thanks

You can buy a 93 map, an e85 map (for example) and have multiple maps in one tune. The limit is 4. You can change maps with the Crusie Control stalk, no need for a laptop.

Hmm, very interesting.
I'd like to know if there is a difference you feel?
Does it fix Idle issue?
Any problems to date?
