Also with the DME in boot mode and the ignition on, it runs the fuel pump continuously which drains my battery.

If I want to go to a dyno and do some tuning, I'll want to be much closer to 1 minute per change (which hurts when you're paying $150/hr). it's too bad it's not like an aftermarket DME where it takes .1 seconds to flash a map, but I knew that when I signed up.
Isn't there another port other than the OBD that allows you to access all the modules including the DME? I remember a tech telling me this because updating the whole car could never get done through the OBD.
