At the risk of being nosey.. Is Contrast (Gustav) alright?
Losing him feels like losing a giant piece of the P2 Volvo Community. So many brilliant discoveries, and a tune (actually) worth paying for.,
Entire USA is forced to go to Hilton, IPD, or other lesser tuner.. which are borderline scams.
People are starting to get anxious, as to how they will tune the vehicles. You can dump thousands in a car, but without a tune, its just a collection of parts.
Several guys east coast are going (really) big turbos, and when I asked them, they are unsure who will be able to tune the vehicle. It's getting so sticky, MaxxECU has been ironing out standalone ECUS for them.
(Side question: Haldex modules cracked, yet? Anyone experiment updating to Gen4?)
While I plan to grind my way through the Volvo weeds, having learned the Nefmoto/Tunerpro in a couple weeks, I can only hope there is enough momentum to keep this Volvo ME7 community going in a public sense. Reverse Engineering included. I want AL/NLS and map switching with my 4C buttons.
I have absolutely no interest creating tunes on a commercial market, or impeding anyone market-space, and am speaking with emotion.
Band together, all. Don't let our loves become abandonware.
Yes, Urbas Gustav is Contrast... I did not know he retired already??? I was just chatting with him on IG a while ago.
I too went the DIY way as my previous tuner was too busy (took 6 months to make a "final" tune that is half-baked). Unfortunately, Volvo community is just a small percentage compared the VAG owners so not a lot of people able to collaborate. We don't even have a decent logger (that is free, or even affordable anyway).
