Default Remote dyno-tune from Dynojet?

A couple of months ago, I went with a buddy to a dealer to get his PCIII installed and dyno-tuned. We were able to look over the tuner's shoulder a bit as he described what he was doing. He mentioned that they were selling their dyno if we were interested (joking of course). I haven't been back to that dealer but he said the reason they were selling it was because they were having a state of the art one installed (should be done by now)that would allow engineers at dynojet to actually remotely see the readouts and tune your bike remotely from their headquarters. Given today's technology, I am sure that can be done. It's probably the same technology that allows me to work from home and work with customers all over the map everyday. I'm curious if anyone else has heard of or seen such a thing. I also wonder what they charge for it vs. an in-house tune.

The guy in India could possibly do worse than the guy that tried to tune my bike last time, but he would really have to work at it. I know that there are knowledgeable and capable tuners out there, but there are far more that own a dyno and do not know what they are really doing. If you have a good tuner then treat them right because they are definitely in the minority.

If Power Commander could pull it off a remote tune that would be great.

all it would take is for the new computer controlled dyno to be linked to the internet and anyone with access to that connection (power commander dynojet) could look at the readings from anywhere in the world and talke to the tech and tell them what they should or should not do. Only thing that would be missing would be the EAR some say that being there and hearing the suttle changes are a key part of the tune. Not just reading the data off the terminal from 1000miles away and saying ya bump that up to 10 and that down to 5.

...and the need to take it of the dyno and test ride it a few times!

I'm sure it allows them to collect a lot of data and create many more maps but, as skully points out, seems to remove the human element from the equation and that could be critical to getting an excellent tuning vs. what seems to me might be a personal, factory loaded canned tune at a higher price. However, I think the guys that do the tuning on the dealer side have to take training as well and also be involved in the process. That doesn't necessarily make them good tuners though.
