I stand corrected ^_^. But it sounds like you should rent out a dyno for remote tuning. Might double the total cost.
Or the remote tuner would be waiting a long time for you to find the right moment to do that highway pull lol.

Wait.... cell phone to laptop tethered teamviewer connection? Def gotta rent out that dyno for this and hope they have WiFi.
No he told me for remote tuning can be street or on a dyno.

So he uses magic to connect to the laptop in your car for a street tune?
Nah. You are stuck with using your phone as a mobile hotspot and connecting your laptop to it.

I turned on my mobile hotspot on my phone to run Honda Map program (or whatever it's called). Kept dropping on at&t iphonex.
I could imagine how much more bandwidth demanding a program like teamviewer is.
Especially when you need to see the numbers updating in real-time and can't afford to lag out.

I'd stick with remote tuning on a dyno where the shop has a wireless signal.
Or just straight up go with an e-tune.

He definitely made the right decision for himself, he’s going to be better off financially because wealthy people love MoTeC and it’s popular in the track/drag world. Sad to see him go because he offered crazy good products and tunes. I don’t blame some of the people that are sad and or mad. When you have worked with him for years, it’s hard to just switch over to someone else so I get that, ( he tuned my 8th gen and 9th gen and my 10th, so I know the feeling.. )

Chances are you’ll get the Ktuner unit, but you’ll be refunded the price for the tuning. Or he will refund the whole order.

You’ll probably get a refund. Services are no longer available.

How did you get in touch with them to email them your info? I just tried and got returned to send error. I want my stage 1 or my money back ASAP.

I mentioned this yesterday but no one replied. Doesn't Vit claim unlimited revisions when you purchase an e-tune? Are those people stuck with whatever revision they have now?

If he's not tuning for us anymore... and they're all locked, then they'll stay that way, without revisions...

Honda Civic 10th gen what happened to Vit? giphy


It was a good deal when he was doing it years ago, long before gen 10 was out. If you just got your tune recently... it does kind of suck, as that was a decent selling point. As I recall, it was only $100 for a revision when mods were added too.

If you ordered his stage 1 ktuner kit then your paying the same elsewhere without the tune anyways lol. He isn’t charging more unless you bought his custom etune

Vit just messaged me on FB saying they are fullfilling all stage 1 and stage 2 ktuner packages and said they are keeping that part going on.
