Need Marauder support please.
How long would it take and what would you need to write a definition file?

I get it. You and Eric are both correct and I'm sure you guys have probably forgotten more about tuning cars than I'll ever know. This is normal for every other platform. It is awesome that the mustang community is going to see a ton of information out in the open now. I'm just saying that tuning an LS motor and tuning a coyote are two different animals, and we are likely to see guys that think they know what they are doing popping a few. (which is probably very common in the GM world too)
It's really not that common in the LSx world. But then again, neither is email tuning. These cars allow remote tuning because of the factory WB02s, and most other platforms don't have that functionality.
The buy in is still $500 to even be able to use the software, and then the vast majority will still have a tuner do the work for them. The idea that a ton of people are willing to spend upwards of $1000 to buy tuning software and then also pay a professional to do the work for them is unlikely. In reality, most people will still have pros tune their cars.
An issue that I see for HPT here which places them at an immediate disadvantage is that for email tuning to still be successful there has to be delivery mechanism from the computer to the ECU. SCT offers their hand held which doesn't offer any real tuning functionality for $350ish where HPTuners only sells the entire suite for $500.
To provide incentive for tuners and users to switch, a "medium" needs to be developed for HPT where tuners can write code and users can deploy it without paying for pieces they won't be using.

There are pro shops that have tuning software and they shouldn't have it. Cars are already blowing up from bad tunes.
Said delivery device is being developed.
Would figure. Have had HPT since 05 with all my LS stuff, Friday I get a seat of SCT....
Need Marauder support please.

it is my understanding we are not on their priority list at this time and sounds like we may well never be (cant say that I blame them I guess...)
Not true. I plan on releasing EECV support by the end of the year.
glad to see Im wrong then
Ecoboost going to be available in the future?
Yes sir.
I'm excited to see the knowledge base and community support grow!
will I be able to adj. my track key tune

Probably not.
You just saved me a couple hundred dollars! Now I can tune all my cars with HPT!
I'm interested to see what some of the guys are able to come up with due to this.
Soooo i have not seen it answered yet. Does this unlock everything within the ECU or are there still things locked that you cant have access too like the basic SCT software?
We don't lock anyone out of anything. If something doesn't appear, it is because we have not defined it. If you notice something not there, email (support at hptuners dot com) and it will be added to my queue of stuff to add.
We do have selectable levels of parameters (Basic/Advanced) that will be implemented, but its user selectable.
Wow this is game changing for those who are capable & have been wanting to tune these cars. Good to hear!
