Default Looking for testers for new handheld programmer support

We're within a few weeks of having our hand held programmer ready to program 2007+ new body style (NBS) Chevrolet/GMC trucks and other "CAN" bus vehicles (2005+ Corvette, 2005-2006 GTO, etc). The programmer is currently working on our bench with live ECM/TCMs.

The final testing step requires testing on live vehicles, as the bench environment doesn't truly represent the live vehicle enviroment. We're looking for "CAN" bus vehicle owners in the Pacific Northwest (Seattle) area that would be willing to work with us to test the programmer in a live vehicle environment. In return for the assistance, we'd be willing to do a hands-on "ride-a-long" tune for $99.99 (regular price is $250+) or offer discounts on dyno tuning.

GM took great care to design the ECM and TCM in these newer vehicles such that they are quite resilient to flashing errors. In the unlikely event there is a module failure as part of the testing, we will provide replacements.

If this sounds interesting to you, and you meet the qualifications below, please send us me email at vince@trifectaperformance.com, or call us at 206-595-3061.

Qualifications:

1. Located in the Seattle-Tacoma area (we are willing to consider going further, just ask)

2. Own a 2007 or 2008 new body style (NBS) Chevrolet or GMC truck or SUV or other "CAN" bus vehicle with a gasoline V8

3. Willing to help us test the hand held programmer on your vehicle

4. Are interested in custom programming


This offer is good as long as we need vehicles to test on. Testing opportunities will be awarded based on the order we receive responses.

That's great news, no CAN vehicle here. By the way, I haven't forgot, but have some other really neat stuff in the works you'll be interested in. We'll get together soon.
