Default Some points for GIAC. The Revo guys can chime in and give their points themselves

Hi Guys,

Here are some of our positive points:

-The GIAC Flashloader installer does a back up of your ecu before any changes.
-It records any existing DTC's before our software makes any changes. This is due to many known instances of "Ram Errors", no starts, or just funky stuff that we do not want to be blamed for. (This is not isolated to any one brand besides ours)
-The factory ecu has a counter for how many times it has been reflashed. If you want the most stealth factor it would be best if that either does not go up, or is able to be reset. Both of which we can do easily.

At this moment our multiprogram mode is not out yet. But we expect to be shipping the unit pictured in 4-6 weeks.

Happy Driving all.

Jeff

Default Looks pretty cool. Can you reset the flash counter with the supplied flashloader or...

do we have to send you the ECU??? Looks like a pretty neat system. Cheers! Mike

A GIAC dealer will have to do an update to allow the dongle to work.

You will just pay the difference at that time.

When you use the GIAC Dongle the flash counter will not move.
