Unichip new "Flux" looks cool

I think this might be very cool.

It's called the "Flux power display" one of the features is "real time tuning" I am not sure what that exactly means but this is a "bluetooth" piece with power data etc..... I picked up a brochure at NOPI but there is nothing I have found on the website..... this is a PDA interface that looks like it can be easily mounted..... weird that there is no more info yet only this brochure...... could this be the "user" tuneability "holy grail" we have been looking for?

Wow! I, like many others, have been on hold for an ecu tune (I see Bahamabart finally pulled the trigger). We've heard implications from vendors that new, exciting products are soon to be on the market--but alas.
This is the first hard evidence, even if just a brochure, that a vendor/tuner with knowledge of the MINI is providing what we've been hoping would be available. Thanks for the tickler Bob!

It says nothing about tunability.
It is only a GUI interface for readout and seletion purposes. There are 5 maps to choose from. Nice, but I'm betting you still pony up for a custom tune.

And the worst part is there's no upgrade path for us with the current unit. You want new you buy new.
