It just smacks of bully tactics....If it is a commercial thing then how about, doing this for free? and or providing another ROM slot to store the new base tune update to...Makes me want to stay away from the Capa stuff...Dream Science is starting to look good....

I understand they wish to protect their investment but the end of the day, manufacturers have to move with the times or become extinct....Guaranteeing your income to penalise the purchaser just seems wrong... where is the good will in that.Maybe a custom Motec or something and start from scratch... Is there any real options other than SCT stuff? Moates.net and do it yourself maybe???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
