Incredible, can't wait to see what you come up with. I was a big contributor to the OpenECU community over on the Evo forums back in 06 when the tactrix cable first hit the market. The openECU movement along with Tephra absolutely transformed the community. I look forward to seeing that realized here as well.

I just got home and fired up my files. Just FYI I have the table at 6318E listed as the 'Main Timing Map'. Tables at 703A4 and 706B4 are Fuel Bank 1 and Fuel Bank 2. This is exciting, I'm sure there will be big things to come. |

Stupid question, and I hope I don't come off wrong, because seeing your support here really speaks to the kind of person you are, but being someone with a "for profit" tuning setup, isn't your support here a possible detriment to some of your possible future revenue? You mention the ability to identify new tables/functions/etc... as what is exciting for you, but I guess I've always viewed open source as a bit of competition to for profits. I guess my question is why are you so open to supporting and contributing where others aren't. Will you be able to sell maps for use with open source hardware or, honestly I'm having a hard time really framing my question the way I want. Do you understand what I'm trying to say? I'm very open to financially supporting efforts here since I cannot add to the development side. Do you guys need help setting up donations or have you already done so? |

Helping in the development of an open-source at-home flashing system will certainly improve the quality of tunes and provide our customers with more flexibility. The mail-your-dme-to-us solution was always considered to be an inexpensive stop-gap solution until something better came along. And something better, by the looks of it, is coming along. For us, we spent the last year defining all the necessary tables in an open source environment while everyone else was using the closed system that Cobb defined for them. To sit on all this open source data for our own use really doesn't help anyone (not even ourself). And releasing it to the public along with whatever Rombinhood is cooking up just sounds so much more interesting. And having already seen this open source transition in the Evo and Suby markets, I know it's inevitable. We might as well be riding the wave instead of being drowned by it I'm meeting up with Rombinhood tomorrow night to discuss ideas on how to launch his product so that it is useable for everyone and not just for the few lunatic fringe hackers looking to get access to new tables that haven't been edited before.

Hey Shiv and Rombinhood2,
If y'all need a 6at to play with you can have mine. I'm outta town for a few weeks and can arrange a car pickup/drop off with the wife. Steve

Despite open source options available in the Subaru world, people still love the Accessport for a reason (we just sold our 10,000th AP-SUB-001 and tens of thousands more for the other Subaru part numbers). You can't make a call to "open source" when things aren't working! I'll admit I'm disappointed to see our hard work copied, but imitation is the highest form of flattery I guess.

Cobb did not really invent flash tuning. Actually, they are not in the forefront of flash tuning. They are known for providing easy to use stuff for those who can't do the flash tuning themselves.

I will put the app next to my Bimmerpost app on my iPad I could even make a BMW folder!
As far as Cobb vs Open Source, very similar to iOS vs Android |

This is really interesting, excited to see this unfold. Although I am no were near a tuner, I am technically savy or so to speak. I would love to get into this with some proper guidence of software/ideology to follow. I will be following this thread, this will definitely be a game changer.
