Default Power Vision tuner?? Mac computer owners?

Can the Power Vision tuner be used with a Mac computer? I don't have a PC. Anyone out there actually use their Mac?

I do it with VM Ware Fusion and a BootCamp partition. Works fine

no native mac client.

once you've got the firmware updated and your tune loaded you should almost never need to plug it back in.

theres a technet download for windows8 evalversion . or find a college student to buy it for ya from the student union. its dirt cheap there. or see if theres a pc at work you can use for 30 minutes.

I make edits to tunes and view logs on my Mac and Linux systems using VMware. No issues. Use a win7 pro VM.

Parallels, VMware, or Virtual Box will do the trick. Virtual Box is free and works pretty well. I agree with the others that once you get it up and running, you won't likely need to use the PC software again. You could also borrow a friends PC to set it up.

Thanks for the replies! I can't use the work computer, because it's a gov't comp. Don't wanna get into trouble.

I'll look into VMware or Virtual box. I ws reading that Mac computers after 2006 can run windows programs.

I'll order The PV tonight! Messaged Fuelmoto but they don't reply?? WTF??

Too bad just ordered it for $429 from Revzilla!!

I agree with VM Ware Fusion, Parallels, or maybe even try CrossOver by CodeWeavers.

You could use your neihbor's PC. But you don't really need it often anymore.
