Eurodyne to release tuning hardware for DBC!

Re: Eurodyne to release tuning hardware for DBC!

Except you have your own cable and you are able to run your own logs with the eurodyne and Maestro 7 tuning suite. No need to arrange a time and spend money on getting a car logged.

You don't need me to log your car for you. I just need to flash the file to the ECU. You can log your own car if you've got ECUx or something similar. If you don't have a laptop with ECUx, then I offer the service of logging the car for you.

Paying me $20 to flash your ECU isn't the end of the world if you can afford to play with one of these cars. The stage 1 tune is $600, and if you pay me to flash even 5 revisions of the file onto the ECU, that's still only $700 by the time it's all said and done.

You certainly have more liberty to tweak and play with your own tune with this Eurodyne product- I'm not saying that it's not a great product, because it sounds like it is. I'm just saying that it's not for everybody, and you better have a darn good understanding of how the ECU maps work, how the sensors work together to send inputs to the ECU, how the ECU uses those inputs to generate outputs, etc, before I would feel safe putting a product like this into a person's hands and telling them to "go wild". There is a reason that tuners get paid to write files and sell them OTS. If you are one of the people who has a sound understanding, it is always fun to play with a semi-standalone setup.

Yes I'm well aware. I'm not disagreeing with you. I was just stating the fact that it was more of a all in one type deal. No need to buy ECUx ($250) for logging, etc.

Which is why I'm interested in it. Paying $2500 for a standalone and having to go through all the hassles just isn't worth it for me. This would be a nice middle ground for me to play with. Also, the AEB's operating parameters are a lot less complicated than the later models. But I do agree that it carries it's own set of risks. But, it's up to the person buying/using it to know what can happen. Personally, I don't think that it's something that an inexperienced person would buy anyway. I think it's been out for the DBW cars for a bit (although I could be wrong) and I haven't heard of anyone blowing things up from using it.
