Business tactic like this will only encourage people to buy one of the copy cat tools that will undoubtedly become available soon.
$300 is nothing for just code clearing. Get three buddys and put in $100 bucks a piece.

Have you actually done it?? I don't see myself actually verifying it worked for a while as I have no where to get over 250km/hr in a safe way

Mine speed limiter has been removed already.

Speed Delimiter
O2 Sensors
Exhaust Flap
Headlight CEL

Then think about the people that will buy it. We are not looking for full coding, just some simple things that you can check on or off.
The problem is, where do you draw the line? That stuff takes time to develop. You can't simply check on/off.

Heck, I want a I/C that will guarantee AIT temp drops under the conditions I run. I still haven't found any takers.
