upRev questions

There are 3 levels of Osiris licenses/cables

1. Osiris Flash Service - This is purely the license enabling your car can be flashed from a Pro Tuner. There is no cable, it uses the shop's cable (that can have multiple licenses on it) to flash yours. Up to 5 maps can be on the tune that's flashed, engaged by the cruise control as Cmike gave you good info on.

2. Osiris Standard Service - This comes with a cable and a license for the tune, and also unlocks Cipher for datalogging and trouble codes read/clear, etc. You can have a Pro Tuner do the tune and send you off with the cable (handy if you wanted to remove the tune at any time, dealer, etc.) - Or UpRev offers an e-flash service where you get a base tune, do some datalogs, and play back and forth with your cars info for tune tweaks. This kit also makes it super easy to remove the tune (reclaiming the UpRev license on the cable) and can be resold easily.

3. Osiris Tuner - Comes with a cable, a license, and still does Cipher datalogging and trouble codes, but also unlocks the tuning portion of Cipher, allowing you to get in there and do your own tuning. Has a lot of options (not quite what a pro tuner has), but can get you into trouble if you have no idea what you're doing. Fun if you want to bust out the laptop and nerd out on your car to learn tuning and what's going on inside the ECU. Can also be brought back to stock ROM and resold easily.

As far as your questions on a shop going out of business, any Pro Tuner can pull your tune off and back to stock, make any tweaks and reload the tune. You're not SOL if a shop is no longer around, but if you have the flash service, you don't have a way to get the tune off, you'd have to find another pro tuner.

Regarding the tune itself, yes it is just a file, an .OsirisROM file that can be loaded on a thumb drive, emailed, whatever you want. Figure it's 1.5-2.0MB
