Ok have one be standard but have 2 with all features and as you go higher in map numbers take the stuff that people are complaining about out.

As you know there are a lot more people that what all the feature than there are people that complain about one or two of the features like autoblip or whatever.

Agreed Map one should be featureless or valet.
Might be a good valet since it defaults to it, if i a valet were to turn it on it would actually be in valet mode, its not like theyre gonna switch the map for you.
But im ok with it being stock too. Its not like you cant switch the map as you're driving out of a parking lot, i've only had it less than a week, and I do it on instinct now.

I stopped at the gas station close to me that has E85 and they also had E30. Would there be any performance benefit to the E30 over pump gas if you had the flex fuel setup?

I think the snow mode and valet mode should be one in the same. Reduced power, vastly reduced rpm cutoff like 5000 in the first two gears. However I would hope they could make it so that the car doesn't start up on map 1 automatically because I don't want to have to switch maps every time I start the damn thing.

John's the expert I was just a witness or innocent bystander if you will

Oh man, was hoping you guys could solve this without removing your ecu

I hope this isn't going to be an ongoing issue

Having said that, nice too see your getting lot's of help

Thanks that good to know John. What does the Kit entail? Is it something we have to have someone install, or is it a DIY kinda project? Or is that still hush hush.

Alright - Mr. Jay's car is back up and running. EcuTek was able to recovery the ecu remotely.

Here's the deal.. We're not 100% sure what's causing this - but can 100% fix it if it happens.

I've been asked not to email flashes to all my customers until we understand a little more.

So I'm thinking I'll send files to 10 people and see how that goes first.

Who wants to be in on the 10?

Let me know

Thanks

John
