Enjoy! Get in touch with support by email if you need any help getting setup!
Installation was very easy. Tunerview lite in the HeadUnit, tunerview on the cellphone...a big smile in my face running the dual tune.

I now need to read a little about the "quick adjustment" since I'm really newb with all this and I don't want to screw anything...lol

In short..thanks for this product, it is simply awesome.

The quick adjustments kick ass. Try enabling early spool and adjusting turbo and throttle responsiveness. Lag will really be minimized. You can't hurt anything playing around with these. They've been proven safe. Speeding up boost ramp will help too. Just don't disable boost target dampening if you have a CVT.

In fact the only thing i wanted to adjust now is to make the tune on the eco mode a bit more fun

Thanks for these hints.

Keep in mind there's a simple dropdown to increase the boost target in ECO.

Have not done any tuning on a Honda yet but kind of baffled by the comment “electronics + cold not a good match” electronics run just fine in the cold, if not better. Heat is the problem, which is why you have heat sinks, heat pipes, thermoelectric coolers etc, the only place cold is a problem is on a display.

By cold i mean...freezing.

Cold, then warm create "humidity", then create corrosion on circuit of electronics. That's not the cold itself, but it's the cold-warm factor.

If the right parts aren't chosen for the temperature range, certain parts can start or operate slowly in the cold. Not good when flashing! We chose the right parts for the job!

I have not built a flash tool (although I did a software update on a turbo motor in the dark ages of the 80's) I assume you specked your components appropriately and it appears you have an excellent product. Operating temp is not listed on your web site but general commercial parts should easily go 0 to 70C Industrial -20 to 85C automotive -40 to 125C building the hardware for this stuff is not magic.
My comment was not about the Ktuner product but the general idea of cold being a problem. They later commented that they were worried about humidity. Seems much worry about nothing - the ECU in the car is certainly rated automotive grade and possibly conformal coated (so it wont care about condensation). I would assume any commercial tuning hardware would work in any environment that I would want to be actively tuning.
