Opensource works 100% for me and many others, to call it "crappy" is, to put it bluntly, ignorant.

Opensource also logs about 10 times faster than what a accessport can handle allowing for a better reference to the tuner to make minor changes to a tune. Accessport is a fine tuning solution but like anything has its positives and negatives, one of the main reasons I went OS over AP was because of my tuner and it was cheaper.

I highly recommend Phatbotti tuning for either OS or AP E-tuning. There are two tuners, one on each coast. You guys arguing which is better, c'mon... really? to each is own, they both freaking work... Choose one, get ur car running right and don't trip what someone else is using cause they both work. pro's and cons with both.
Good luck with your tune. |

And what experience do you have with tuning either platform to make that statement?

My car has been tuned both ways, and during open source they key had been turned off each time an adjustment was made and with Cobb they left the car running and tweaked as they went.

And for a relatively standard setup like you have, it shouldn't take all that many runs to dial it in. The end result is no different for an 03. The end user shouldn't care about Cobb vs. OS, only about price, convenience and the end result. |

btw open-source is not a software, it just means that anyone is free to use and modify the computer code of the softwarez

Can you go to a website and download it to your computer to use to tune the PCM on your vehicle? Or is it hard wired into your computer to use any and every time you want? No, you download the "software" to your computer and adjust the PCM from there, then you upload the new programming to your PCM, other wise you could just will your PCM to be tuned to however you want!!! So yes the be exact it is a form of software, just like ccleaner or another type of computer software.

And no that's not all that I have got, I also have the ability to change maps on the fly, and launch control, AND the ability to monitor a severe amount of data right there in front of me. Listen, I don't know where this got into who's got the bigger dick over tuning, I have used os in the past and granted yes it did work flawlessly for me before, but now that I have used the ap tuner I (that means me just in case someone else tries to add to this) like the functions of the ap tuner a lot more than os, I am not a tuner, but I do like the ability to monitor many things while driving, so there.

Just want to say thank you to all those that put so much time and effort into romraider and ecuflash. It is unbelievable to me that this software is free. I love the fact that i can just switch maps on the fly with a toggle switch, i can have 20psi right off the line with 2step antilag, and speed density fueling is just awesome! Accessport is a great tool as well, and i used to have one, but a little on the pricey side in comparison.

So, since the software is free, your tune should be free? Download ATR and try doing your own tuning. You will quickly gain a new respect for what a tuner does and realize that it isnt the software you are paying for, but the hard work that gets put into it. You just need to find a tuner that cares about what he is doing. Thats all.

Yes after I took my car back to the tuner he adjusted on it for another hour and finally got the issues fixed, and the tuner is also going to try and transfer the opensource programming onto y Cobb ap and go from there. But otherwise all issues are resolved.
