I have no problem paying them for that effort as long as it works, and it fits my truck unlike a box tuner. On the other hand we buy these EFI Live scanner/V2's for a reason and that is to be able to control our vehicles, we pay the $900.00 for a box that we should have full access to, but if we choose to pay someone else to tune it then they should be allowed to protect their hard work, but not lock out everything else that we as owners of the license pay for. I do not see why it would be so hard to just put in a feature to lock out certain areas without locking out the rest. If I lived around the corner from the tuner with the dyno then perhaps this would not be an issue, but as it is I am over 700 miles from him and his dyno and the turn around time to change one little thing is a pain and basically turn my V2 into a useless box tuner that I am unhappy with.
