Anyone have experience with this TOAD software package?
They make it sound like you can basically write your own tunes and save them back to your PCM. No real discussion on initiated/interactive testing. Looks like a collection of several different programs. I recognize the pushing keyword type advertising but curiosity is working on me...lol. I found this gem of translation in the ad "Don't waste your time and money going to a mechanic just to find out why your check-english light in on." Spoiler:::$127 till the end of the month.

I know many of us shouldn't be fooling with this but if you really can get a decent interface to modify ECM tables without having to learn a machine language and how to use compilers and such, sounds like a bargain. I realize you need to wait on the disk so you can keep a handle on the possibility of embedded malware, but any other gotcha's I might be missing, beside they take your money and it don't work or they take your money and then take more money later? Lol
Also on a side note, why in the heck is this tuner more than $2k?

Am I just spending too much time on the dirty side of the Internet?
