It is very unfortunate that widespread, easy to access engine ECU/ECM programmers don't exist that are plug and play and cheap to own like the scanguage.

If I could easily change the shift points in my autotragic and change its timing a tad without massive effort I would probably still own the buick lesabre.

I think maybe some more effort for easy to use DIY solutions on this front need to be made, if the auto makers won't do it, you should have the ability to do it yourself.

Having to desolder and socket the eeprom in the ECU, get a burner and figure out the code yourself, really isn't plug and play or easy.

Anyone want to figure out the AVEOs eeprom for shift points to help this guy get the most out of his car ?
