Thanks, I will check it out.
* Looks like the SCT Livewire only more Exy
PowerFLASH, VEHICLE TUNER AND DIAGNOSTIC TOOL $1190
* MyCalibrator FLASH TUNER DATA LOGGER $695
Not sure what the difference is between the 2 BPT units.
I want the gauges full time, especially ATT while towing.
The tune is a bonus for me.
Also I just found something that is ideal but Exy.
SCT Livewire $900

Also, you can program the new tunes and then remove the nGauge, it doesn’t have to be there all the time
Same as you can with the old one, but the new one looks bulky, may not be, just looks bulky.
Barry may go back to the old style if he can get them again.

If the tune is a bonus then use a real gauge like the Ultragauge, you will view more data at the end of the day and save some dollars.

So BPT have told me that the NGauge is no longer supported and they cannot update tune files for anyone that already has an existing NGauge. If for some reason you wanted/needed an updated tune file, they mentioned you would need to purchase their new tuning device. A little frustrating as one of the selling points was ongoing support and now I supposedly need to purchase new device if I need a new tune file.

More than likely there will be no update to the tune files simply because on the older models, probably up to 2018 no more can be done, development stopped a while back.
I have got updated stock files and put them on a week ago.
As I understand it anyone who has an nGuage can't sell it to someone else.
You could a while back because Barry could remove the VIN lock for a fee so it allowed someone else to use it, then it became VIN locked to that vehicle.
nGauge has stopped him from doing that, I think.
The new unit does the same as the nGuage, no more, no less.
Pretty crappy really for the amount of money they cost.

Just to make clear that this has not been brought on by Barry or BPT. The issue stems from ngauge's manufacturer legal issues with the EPA in the USA. This in not the first manufactuer or software compnay to be hit with the legal side of things....

That's for sure Stewart, just ask Harley Davidson.
