Diesel tuning restrictions for USA customers

I was also waiting for this to come, it was just a matter of time. I also hate to say, just like the region specific coding on DVD's, I give it about a month before the region coding is figured out on EFI Live and this will be a moot point......
Also, I am sure that the moderaters will be busy locking/deleting threads pertaining to this just like they are on other forums. If you need someone to blame, blame the idiot smoking out intersections and four lanes of traffic in your city's downtown!
Just my $.02, please don't ask for change!

For example, look at the vid in post #3 here (which Ross linked as a example): EDIT: Link removed, nobody would see it, it's in the beta area.

For any existing tune files you have, the tuning changes will remain untouched, all new tune files created with the next update will not have access to the DPF related functions for USA customers. [/LIST]

If I'm reading this correctly, I will be able to flash old tunes with EGR/DPF changes still there but not have the ability to edit them after updating to new versions?

The link says I don't have permissions to access....

I think my last post got missed accidentally, but is this change only going to effect the DPF system or will EGR also get pulled?

This was going to happen with time no matter what IMO. I respect EFI's postion and there solution to keep the EPA off there backs. If EFI has to spends weeks if not months and tens of thousands of dollars defending there self in court nobody still won. Sometimes you just have to pick your battles and move on. If you want to blame anyone blame our current government in the US and not EFI.

HMM so if theres only one download how will it be different for what region we live in?

My *guess* is registered VIN.

Someone have a VIN for a non US truck ?

Or it will be via the IP address that the computer doing the tuning is connected to when a new VIN license is issued.

Maybe I should have kept that quiet...

I have my own opinion on what the software will look for to determine if you are in the states or not, and I am going to assume it is right on your computer. I will guess also that it will not be IP or VIN based either, but again, I could be totally wrong!
Just my opinion again!!

I am not sure, but I am going to go out on a limb and say that it is not VIN based, almost 100% sure of that!
