What can we do now that most tuners are moving to Canbus intergration

AltecBX · 08-06-2010, 09:21 PM

I know we now have:
- Dashboard intergration
- CPS Timing
- Better tuning
- More features
- Malipulation of buttons, such as DTC, hazzard lights

Can we program the sterring wheel buttons to put the throttle at a more aggressive level, sort of like an M button through Canbus?

Many things can be done now such as enhancing your sex life; but waivers have to be submitted for that.

But to answer your question, yes it could happen. But all markets, option packages and desires need to be considered first.

R&D costs money. The tuner who takes advantage of that while keeping the price stable is going to rule the market. CAN has many options.

If end users can decipher CAN coding and it is posted for free hardware price will skyrocket. But true for those that can read and manipulate coding will have the most configurable interface available.

I agree. I'm looking forward to see what the major players will be doing with this network.
