Well it has been available for a few days now. Any one had it done yet? Was it what you hoped for? Worth it?

So do CAPA actually do tunes themselves at their shop or do they only sell the hardware to other suppliers for tuning?

be interesting to see what capa thinks of that dealer selling the chip above the price capa set.

usually RRP is set by the manufacturer and the dealers arent meant to go over it.

A little disappointing. I was hoping for something simple and similar to the AU-BF flash tuner. Plug and play.

if the ECU doesn't support flashing then its not exaclty their fault.
we've known for months that it was going to be similar to chiptorque
