Sounds good - any chance you can add a map for valet mode and/or immobilizer (hidden kill switch)?

Do you have a price set for this already? For the e85 guys would it be possible to have a pump gas map on map 4 as a backup in case we couldnt make it to a station with e85 or if the station happens to be out of e85. I always try a fill up before the fuel light comes on but I have had a station run out and I had to go across town to fill up. Definitely interested in this mechanical switch though

Not sure but I think he is talking about his flex fuel kit almost being ready.

Since the flex fuel project got underway the pump and e85 maps were separate files and no longer accessible as a on the fly map. Those days were nice but flex is the way to go.

Id jump on it this very second if available.

As time goes on everyone will see what tuners follow the trend and what tuners actually do new things.

This map switch thing will be a little cheaper then flex fuel

Yes.

Pump, racegas, e70, e85 etc

Launch control and other advanced features like traction control will GE available via cruise control

I can imagine this would be a matter of having the "mechanical switch" play back a signal like a macro (similar to what you would do with holding the cruise control stalk, switch maps and confirming) every time power was applied to the device (probably with a minor delay timer built in too). If only I had more time to fiddle with the car.. (;

John,

What is the approximate turnaround time on tunes ordered from you?
Just wondering on shipping time if I ordered a tune plus license and cable.

Thanks!

Turn around time is pretty good.

I shipped out 23 ProECU kits last week... Yeah 23 kits !!!!

That's a lot.

Anyone that has received the kit already has a tune.

Because of the insane volume of tunes that continue to come in I've had to hire someone to help me take on this work load.

Bringing this person on should improve the turn around time when tune updates are available.

Expect to see someone new posting in this thread very soon.
