You guys have to understand, John right now is the most wanted man on this forum. Between vendors, tuners, and customers, this guys phone is going berserk. Gems dealing with a limited number of cables and time, all the while trying to make the best product he can.

For example, while tuning my car he came up with a few new changes to the "master" flash making it his 6th revision. Quality takes time, and no one else out there wil be able to match the time and effort John has put in to this.

Agreed. You raise a good point though - Is there a changelog that shows all the revisions? Depending on the revision, I may, for example, want to give John some breathing room and not ask for a new flash, but something that I'm interested in sooner may push me towards getting an update.

No there is no change log at this time.

Updates only go out when the revision goes through the process of being proven and safe.

My current beta revision is getting near release

I would love to have an ETA on when the Automatics can get a flash. Otherwise, I will just keep asking everyday if the automatic flash is available yet.

State you live in
Last 6 of your VIN
DONGLE ID - ( When you open Pro ECU on the top left it'll say 6AB865 )
Email Address

Feel free to send that via email to

Anyone having problems installing software let me know via email

Subject - Ready for E-Tune - Problem with Install

Thanks

John

$750 is not some trivial amount of money for the most of us. It also does not help being given "when it is ready" statements.

I'm not trying to be the douche bag here, I just want to be informed on when I will receive the product I paid in full. I think that is a reasonable request.

I definitely understand where you are coming from. My recommendation to you would be to request a refund back if this is unacceptable. Unfortunately the response to the groupbuy has overwhelmed John and he is trying very hard to please us all, but at the end of the day it is your money.

Coming from a tuner it takes me about 3-5 pulls to work out 1 spot on the tables I don't like but I am anal about my tunes being perfect for my customers as it seems John is to. This type of tuning keeps engines from going BOOM! So imagine if he has like 4-5 tables he isn't happy with. You have to work one part of a tune at a time because one change on a table can effect many things. So 3-5 pulls for each table to get it perfect, that can be very time consuming. So be patient auto guys, and for us 6 speeders be patient on revisions.
