Yes, Autotuner supports the vehicle via OBDII. However, we would not be able to support sales of our software through shop with another master tool (almost all tuners would not.) We do have a dealer network of VelocityAP authorized dealers who sell and support our software with Autotuner slave tools.

That being said, we are working with our end-user tool supplier on the protocol for these and it will certainly be available in the future. I don't have a precise timeline but it will happen.

In terms of triggering codes/flags at dealer level - I don't know the answer to that specifically in this case, but in 2020 it is a safe assumption that every manufacturer has flags and has instituted a system to try and track & identify changes to software. Yes, there are ways around it and yes there are some best practices to institute if you're concerned, but we always advise customers to enter into tuning their vehicle with their eyes wide open and to assume that if push comes to shove, everything is detectable.

Thanks for the quick response. Been modding cars for a while so i expect to be up the creek if something breaks. For sure.
The automatic flags are just annoying not all brands do them automatically, some will only inspect further if there is a malfunction. The classic example is audi/vw with their TD1. Its obviously ideal not to be “flagged” for future resale or lease trade ins.

So this was run on a Mustang Dyno. Because they typically read a lot lower than a Dynojet does, there's a feature in the Mustang dyno that produces a 'simulated' Dynojet number.

Your Blue Lines are before and after wheel torque. Your Red Lines are before and after Mustang Dyno wheel horsepower. The green lines are before and after 'simulated' Dynojet runs.

412RWHP on the mustang dyno, with our secondary deletes fitted. Before & after is just for the software.

your cat deletes DEFINITELY make tq. Thats like 585 ftlb at the crank assuming 20% drivetrain loss.
maybe 5-10 hp gain (515 hp) but the spool looks incredible on the dyno.

Possibly. But assuming it's 20% may not be accurate.

Interested in feedback on the tune as well. I'm doing secondary cat deletes for my 2020 for sure, debating if I need/want a tune as well. Not sure how much faster I need a ticket..

I just got my 2020, and the first thing I did was a cat delete. Next, I installed downpipes and got a tune, maybe some intakes too, if that does anything. But for now, I'm focusing on cosmetics.
