    tunercat how i buy

    hello how are you
    i am from saudi arabia and i own a shop

    i saw tunercat software and read about it
    what i know is that tunerat will offer me the dealer kit version for 325$ shipped and i must buy from jetchip the DST tuner for 499.99$ and i dont have a problem doing that but it comes with 4 license that i dont know what is the difference between it and between VDF from tunercat

    the vdf i will buy from tuner cat are for 07-14 e38 and e92 controller and should i buy the TCM vdf if i only want to use it for speed limiter ?

    thanks

    There are other options, like EFI Live or HP Tuners.

    I decided on EFI Live for a few reasons:
    1. AutoVE Tuning Software is included with EFI Live, TunerCats OBD2 and Jet DST do not offer AutoVE Tuning Software.
    2. The one license per PCM, for most all OBD2 computers.
    3. I could download EFI Live and take it for a test drive (demo mode) before I purchased it: http://www.efilive.com/latest/cat/download-efilive

    I see, you want flash only. I was thinking a shop will want both flash and AutoVE Tuning.

    For flash only, Jet Performance DST is a good price: http://www.jegs.com/p/JET-Performanc...62010/10002/-1

    Tuning software licensing can be confusing - most require a license each PCM or ECM that you wish to tune.

    EFILive initially comes with 2 licenses - each additonal license is $125.

    HPT initially comes with 8 credits (4 licenses) - each additional license (2 credits) is $100.

    Jet DST initially comes with 4 licenses - each additional license is $100. You cannot use a Tunercat cable to get "unlimited" licenses from Jet DST.

    If you want Tunercat, then the only option is to purchase a RoadRunner from Moates, which then allows you the option of purchasing their RT (Real Time) version of Tunercat.

    I do not own a Jet DST system, so I Do Not know how TunerCats VDF files or how WinFlash will work with Jet DST.

    I do not like the words Jet DST uses in their advertisements, Jet DST is flash only. Jet DST will let you change tuning parameters, remove speed limiter, remove RPM limiter, and remove MIL codes. Jet DST WILL NOT calculate how much CHANGE is required make tuning parameters correct. EFI Life WILL CALCULATE (AutoVE Tuning) how much CHANGE will be required to the tuning parameters!

    TunerCats is also Flash Only.
