    Once new FM releases and everyone is set, no bugs (it works really well, tested it SEVERAL TIMES) I'm taking the last week of the month off everyone.
    Had to write 200+ new files to make this happen.

    I can see the questions now ! But am sure they will be covered in the new instructions .
    Can I download more than 1 of the new tunes and store them ?
    Can I use my tunes from the old FM in the new FM and vice versa ? if I have a dongle?
    Will I have to reenter my Dongle license # in the new FM ?

    Just got my kit the other day and sent in the System ID (waiting for reply). Does this release change this process so I can flash my truck today?

    If you need a trickle charger while flashing, you need a new battery

    Unfortunately we wont be able to do registrations today, but it does get rid of one of the longest waits from the old way : waiting on files.

    This is flat out a DEAL KILLER for me. No way I'll rely on a PC/laptop to hang around for the dozen or more years I typically keep vehicles. I hope there's some other way in the future.

    Other cars I have tunes for use a USB-based key and tunes are attached to the ECU. Mat knows what I'm talking about here. I just loaded a refresh on a car I hadn't touched in 5 years and guess what - the old laptop was dead. No problem loading the software on a newer laptop and just attaching the old USB key.

    I think someone mentioned that they'll "work with you"
