The only way you can get Tunercat anymore is to buy a Roadrunner or find somebody that is selling their unit. Stay away from the Jet setup as they are locked like the others. If you go the Roadrunner route you can usually find somebody that may want it. Since TC is not vin locked it is gold if you are looking to do a few cars. There were some on the Monodax site for sale every now and then but I am assuming the price has since gone up. I was lucky enough to buy a cable off a buddy that sold his car.

I also have a lot of local guys with OBD2 LT1 cars asking me to tune them...I guess I could buy the JET software and just continue to have them cover costs...but from what I've seen, it's not updated/supported NEARLY as well as TC...the demo of the software won't even run on my laptop without crashing every other time I open a new table...versus OBD1 TC software running perfectly fine, and I've tuned COUNTLESS OBD1 LT1's with it...hence my interest in his OBD2 package.

Apparently, the newer versions of the OBDII cables (such as Frost's) are CAN capable. The older ones, such as mine (I bought it when they first came out) are NOT CAN ready.
FWIW, John (TC) is hands down the best for customer service after the sale. He's added tables, parameters, switches, etc. virtually overnight almost every time I've asked him. I've had issues on and off with (hex)code errors, single digits out of place on different .bins, and he's always been there to help. Too bad for most people they can't buy the OBDII cable any longer.
Next thing is to get him to do a scanner!!

Westers Garage has ECMpro for a scanner works with the TC cable it's a little pricy but it's a good scanner histogram and I log my lc-1 serial into the scanner. Soon I'll upgrade to the enhanced and get more pids with access to airbag and abs modules
