Correct. It does go against the normal Dinan grain and we would love for everyone to go the full tune route with DINANTRONICS Elite as that is a much more polished solution but that isn't for everyone I am afraid. Some simply want cheap power. This is not the typical market that Dinan has historically engaged with but that market has grown larger and larger to the point its hard to ignore. We decided to simply engage with that market segment with a product we feel offers more, even if it is drastically different from our normal products. |

So you've cracked the ecu and enabled direct flashing on the E series which no one has done? Or is the real reason that the only tune you are AVAILABLE to offer everyone is a plug and play that you guys used to say is inferior, but rather than have nothing to sell you did the one thing you've preached against since day one. Feels a lot like you guys are selling a JB4 since you can't do the usual flash tuning on the platform, and this is a marketing spin to me.
Also having to hide it from the dealer? What are ANY benefits over the jb4 at this point? If anything they have years of experience with piggyback tunes and more powerful options. The Dinan piggyback isn't legal in CA, hide it from your dealer etc... seems like a huge case of foot in mouth where all the constant drawbacks you guys have been mentioning to sell your products, now apply to your products. Are they suddenly better because it is from Dinan?
