Does this mean the advantage of the V2 is now mostly just the touchscreen (which is sweet, but I need to save money...)

Touch screen, programmable LED's, etc.

Plus, you still need a laptop to upload a tune with V1.2 right?

Hmm...The assumption around here seems to be with it storing 5 tunes, you no longer need the laptop.

You’ll still need the laptop, but once you got your tunes loaded, you won’t need to use it like before, which is a big plus for people not wanting to go with the V2.

It would be awesome if Ktuner offered a version for people like me that only have a desktop and don't really need a touchscreen. I have to admit I like the simplicity of pressing a button and uploading a tune like Flashpro. The problem for me is that I feel like Ktuner offers a far better choice of base tunes.

If Ktuner comes out with a solution like that, and sells it for about $479-$499, I'm in and I bet a lot of others would be to.

If you don't need the real-tuime display of the V2 unit, the V1.2 with the TunerView Android app solves the issue of needing to flash without a laptop present. It'd be your choice not to take advantage of that tech, in which case a laptop is required.

That's interesting.

Ok I have an Android phone. So if I get the tunerview app and buy a V1.2, how would I then flash my ECU with it?

One other question about the base tunes. I want to be fairly conservative with tuning. So I'd probably just start with Stage 1 on 91 octane. Would that give me a noticeable improvement in day to day city/highway driveability? I only go full throttle on occasion.

If you only made adjustments to the quick adjustments and left the power stock or slight psi increase, the car will drive tons better. The responsiveness of the throttle and turbo is improved greatly.

You download our TunerView Android app and buy the KTuner protocols for $4.99. You can then use the phone as a real-time display with multiple layouts if you want to check up on any specific sensors/temperatures etc and flash tunes you've uploaded to the 1.2 with your desktop/laptop directly from the KTuner Menu of the Android app. It shows you flash status during the flash, prompts you to key off/on at the end, even allows you to recover if you make a mistake and shut down or unplug etc. It's absolutely fantastic.

Stage 1/Starter 18 alone will improve overall drivability and driver experience. Couple Starter 18 with some of the quick adjustments and tailor drivability to your liking. It's really amazing the difference in feel and drivability all of these settings can make. Stay as conservative as you want with it.

Yes...hell to the yes, and you might be going full throttle just a bit more often, just because..
