The title basically says it all, is it safe to switch the maps while driving, or is that not a good idea? I didn't want to switch it while driving before asking in case that would somehow be detrimental to the car.

Absolutely safe. And KTuner has it set up so on the fly map switching is faster when you are moving versus when you are stopped.

I switch all the time. Like when I'm chilling on the highway on Map 1 and some GTI wants to play. Two seconds later I'm ripping it in Map 3.

Funny you mention this, it's the exact reason I asked. An EcoBoost mustang pulled up beside me on the highway and I felt like if I was in map 3 I may have had more of a chance.

Yes, t's like pressing the eco button on a completely stock car, if you press it while on the freeway you can feel the difference in throttle response between maps while your foot is on the gas
