I would have bought WinOLS a long time ago if EVC would sell it to me.
Until then, anybody who doesn't suck EVC dick and/or knows the magic handshake is stuck with TunerPro.
EVC has the weirdest sales approach ever. "No, we don't want to make money off of you".
I guess the new chiptuners definition of hobbyist is "people EVC won't sell to".
And who the fuck knows what their requirements are. I still have yet to hear anybody explain it to me in a way that makes sense.
Sell it only to a few people and thus you can justify the ridiculous cost of the emulator! While it might be a specialist tuning tool at the moment it suddenly looks very expensive when a product doing the same is available at a fraction of the price! |

AFAIK EVC will only sell to a "business" aka, you have a domain name, email address and prove a business(LLC) in my case. Which i agree is kind of stupid, money is money. If they sold a stripped down version to hobbyists, that maybe included checksum for only what they wanted for say 4-500 they would be making a TON of extra profit. I dont understand their business model either. Have you tried emailing them about a license recently? |

I am a legit, brick and mortar licensed, accredited and insured automotive tuning business and have been since 2003, they refused to sell to me.
I work on the highest end cars money can buy and I tune any ecu I can get into. I am a authorized dealer for multinational companies such as Cosworth. EVC wouldn't even respond to me after over a year of contacting them. Then finally they had the nerve to tell me I wasn't the type of tuning firm they dealt with. No explanation, but I can make an assumption, I have always and will always share information. Fuck whoever calls the shots at that company, don't need you.

Unfortunately, that is provably untrue. I can back up ST's claim. EVC are a bunch of asshats. |

You think they follow nefmoto closely enough that they know your real name and business' name, and refused to sell it to you based on your online activities? They're retarded. Edit: Meaning, that's crazy dumb if they do follow that closely that they blacklist businesses that post on Nefmoto. |

^^^ that's probably not a good idea for him if it truly is legitimate.

Think we should probably get back on topic Well I was hoping to have started an official road runner me7 thread by now but I'm still waiting on customs to clear the adaptor boards to test! Got to love Royal Mail! Anyway, I now have a fully working 8bit/16bit tunerpro RT beta copy. Its fully tested and emulating perfectly. Which is a huge credit to Mark ( mansur of TP) He has offered to help in anyway he can to make this as powerful as it can be for the me7 Until I actually get the adaptor board and test in the car I'm holding off formally launching the revised TP and RR just to ensure it actually initially works as planned. Its all looking good though. |

Well currently the RR guts kit is $500, tunerpro Rt is free but I'd people will pay the $39 donation to Mark to remove the 10second advert. And I can only imagine the adaptor boards being 10's of $ but no price yet. Custom idc cables are being produced as well and headers for the EcU are $10. |

Adaptor boards will be Around $30, obviously 1 is needed. If you plan in swapping around on ecus then idc cable can be used. |

Headers are $10 bucks huh. Might have to get a few sets of those.
Question:
Once you have your tune dialed in, what are you guys doing? Removing the headers and installing a normal eprom, or (more likely) putting another ecu in and keeping the emulator in the spare ecu. Noone is actually leaving these things in there permanently are they?

I drove my RS4 with it permanently in for a month... but yeah, I have a few different ECU's with the header in so I can swap it out and then swap the old one back in if I am tuning something. |
