Will this require us to have our cars on a local dyno for 'remote tuning', or are we talking about an internet enabled flash loader with some sort of custom maps ?

You may have to bring some of the units with you to Seattle for show/tell/sale...

how long are you hanging around seattle jan? I won't be able to make your tuning session since I'll be on vacation and flying in late on the 26th, but if you have one of these available, I may be picking one up.

Jan, I have been waiting for this and the VVT tune before tuning mine. Will you have a price for a tune from you at your local dyno including the remote tunning device to take home with me, because I live so far from you. I ask because I have a water/meth system and I am sure I will need your touch to get everything out of it.

this looks promising.

Jan, will you be able to tune cars overseas, and also, how many factory JCWs have you done, and what results have you been getting?

Hi. Im in the Uk as you may already know. If i already have a tune can your remote tuner be used to detune/retune my car as and when? If so im sure you will have a hell of alot of sales in the UK as a huge % of R56 owners already have thier cars remmaped.

yes it can, but why not go back to the original tuner and have them take the map off if you don't like it?

OK, I've been out of the loop a while here. What exactly is the VVT tune? Are you gonna tune our valve timing and give us V-TECCCC for mad hpz yo?

Also, wouldn't you doing this remotely be "not as good" as doing it with the actual car on the dyno? I know this is for convenience since everyone can't just drive to you. However, if it makes a difference, how many peeps would it take to get you to fly out somewhere? And would it make a big enough difference in your ability to get the most out of the car to be worth the effort?

Thanks for any answers, and, sorry for the hijack.

I think i said that wrong. I have a tune that i want to keep but it would be nice to be able to take it off etc every now and again eg. Warranty, fuel etc so your remote tuner would work great in that respect. But where alot of people in the UK have thier cars tuned already your tune may not be needed, just the device to put it on and off as and when would be. Can you remote tool be used with different software ie. software thats not yours? When are these coming out then, how much will they cost in £ + Postage to UK, as im going to get mine tuned this week, but if yours is goign to be soon i will wait.

Very exciting, but since I live within 50 Miles of RMW, I will probably just go with a local tune, I am just waiting to get the parts put on.

Thanks for the response. I know what VVT stands for, but, I was inquiring about how this would play into the engine tuning as a whole. But, then again, I suppose this this thread isn't the place to go into details about the inner workings of an engine.
