Are you happy with the auto tune feature? Would you buy it again if you got another bike or would you go a different route?

For the price I got mine at, yeah would do it again. The only hard part is fitting all that crap under the seat. I did manage to get the PCV and AT modules, RTB light modules, and security system antenna all under the C&C solo seat of my FB Lo. That was quite a trick.

The software is good, the options are good.

I like mine. It works great especially if you're gonna do a lot of mods or do mods in "stages" over a period of time. Eliminates need for "dyno" tuning each time you change something. OTOH if you're gonna do Stage I and nothing else I might just remap and save some $. Its kinda pay once or pay as you go type thing especially considering it can even be installed in subsequent bikes.

I agree with camsmith. I love mine but I like to play with it. If you were going to install it, forget it, never play with the tune, and simply ride, I'd probably pass on the auto-tune and simply run the PCV with a canned map.

Another thought the PCV w Autotune also allows you to "switch" between maps by turning Autotune "On" or "Off". Sweet to have "hot" tune and "mileage" tune with ability to switch back and forth. A lot of $ but a lot of capability as well!
