Default Is there a universal PCM tuning suite?

As stated in my other post, I would like to start my own shop, and I want to keep the tools from cluttering up, and maybe save some money overall by buying universal "1 size fits all" tools and scanners.

Any and all info you guys have is appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Our VCM Tuner Suite package is quickly becomming one of the most universal from our included scanner & editor we also offer tuning for nearly every GM vehicle since 1997 and are in BETA for Ford Editing & Scanning which will be followed by Dodge Editing & Scanning. If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to ask.

Sort answer, NO.
Longer answer, it appears that HP Tuners is working on it. Not sure that I would start a business with Beta software, but we all have choices to make. Besides, Bill Gates has millions of Beta testers. They are called users.

About what sort of price range would we be looking at Bill?

Any idea would be helpful, and we know not to "quote" you on it.

Thanks.

lol it really depends on what vehicles you want to tune...the great thing about our credit system is you can purchase credits ahead of time & then use them on whatever & whenever you want.

Our pricing starts at $499 for up to 4 pcm licensed vehicles so to enter the market is relatively inexpensive.

I would of course need Unlocked/Unlimited VIN# capability, and a unit that works for different makes and models.

I am not looking to buy tons of different scanners from different manufacturers and learn the ins and outs of them all.

There are several other packages available also. It just depends on what type of vehicles you want to work on. Most people/shops who program chevy cars dont mess with ford.
But if they do, they just buy SCT software. It is already done for the fords.
