Hi,

I'm wondering what happens with "Drive (S)" mode after you flash with a KTuner/Hondata tune - does it become the same as D or is there still an difference (and if so how does it work)?

Following on, I've read with KTuner you can set the ECON button to effectively switch between normal/tuned maps, does either product have the ability to assign a map/settings to the "S" gear, so you can switch on the fly by shifting from D to S?

The tune has nothing to do with transmission modes. They work exactly the same after the tune. S will still rev higher in the powerband compared to D.

You can use the Econ button as a similar to stock tune (and switch between stock and tuned) but you can't map anything to S.

Yes. You still can use that to switch to a lower power eco tune on the three maps.
