It is the writing to the PCM that is paramount. If you can read the PCM, see what parameters need to be modified, it would indicate to the user that they need to be able to modify and update the PCM. JMO, as it ain't gonna happen anyhow.

I think people would want a demo where you could open a tune and look around at all of the tables and how HPTuners works. They should release a demo that allows you to only view the included(demo) tune.

I voted YES!!! I know this an old thread but I was leaning towards HP Tuners before I went with EFI Live. The only reason I went with EFI Live was because of the "DEMO"
When HP Tuners comes out with a Demo I will buy their software too.....

im buying one tomorow, from who???? i like the forum on hpt but ahvent played with efi and i think i have ruled out the new jet one because it wont work w/ vista. but a demo would seal the deal. and i will probably go with efi because im going to play with efi and no clue what hpt will be like.

I don't know whether or not it will sway anyone, but here's my 2cents:
HPT could do that (demo) and with LITTLE TO NO WORK TO THEIR STAFF... I can install my CD on eleventy-billion PCs and edit until my heart is complete. I CANNOT, however, log or tune without a cable MATCHED to the software's serial #.
So why not just make up a license key# that is public and distribute the software? It would be the same as EFIL is doing, and without a matched cable it IS demo only.

Carl,
We know there is a want & need for one & its not going to come about because of this thread. We just havent had the time to do it with all the new developement. We know it would sway people that are on the fence our way if we came out with one so asking a question we already know the answer to isnt going to help the cause. Once we have some time to put one together we will, but unfortunatly thats the one thing that is scarce is time.

Even FAST (fuel air spark) has their software available online for free too. It made my decision to go with a FAST system much easier! Now I have one in my GN and Mustang.

The software is already downloadable from their site, provided you are logged in with your serial number.

mmmm....yes, easy, simple. What is so hard about this. I even considering paying a refundable handling amount for a demo copy so I could assess the capabilities on how it handles certain things.
The difference is that if it does what people claim, then I would buy it anyway, but until I can know it does what some claim, I wont buy it at the risk of finding out that those who "know" were inaccurate in their claims.

I don't know why this thread is even still open. It is OBVIOUS they do not care about what you guys want or a demo would have been made YEARS ago. Ya'll are beating a dead horse.
This thread was started almost two years ago. HPT has posted in it and they still don't have a demo. I think it needs to be locked as it is clear to those that have been around they don't care. If they did, they would have had a demo for the customers back in 2007. We are in 2009 right?

Guys, we already said we're releasing a demo.
Few things are taking priority, for example, custom OS' for E67's, E69 support, Ford and Dodge, etc..
Relax, we do see the need for a demo of our software and are not ignoring it or your requests.
