Uprev Locks own e-tune maps

flashgordon

The question is:
Why when I purchased three years ago the e-tune procedures works in a way, and now after three years without advice, after I spent my money on Uprev products the procedure changes?

To reply your question: I like to see what's happens, I am simply curious with some of money.
I live in Italy, so for a safety reason I made the maps directly from Uprev. Here there aren't Pro-Tuners.

So if I choose between Two products, for example Cobb and Uprev.
Three years ago Uprev "says": well, you can look my maps with Tuner Version.
And I bought Uprev.

Now, after 3 years, Uprev changes Idea: "No, now that you had bought my software, the maps are locked!"

Well, I thinks that it's not correct.
As is if tomorrow Bill Gates will say: ALL PEOPLE that mounts Windows will installs ONLY Microsoft Software.
Ok, Windows is your, but I payed to used it when I bought my PC. Why now I can not work as yesterday!?
The same is Uprev.

For the safety: perhaps you are right, but REMEMBER! Every owner that modify his car assumes a risk.... ....if I modify the Map without know what I do, or I mount myself the braking plate without know what I do. The GUILT is not of Uprev or Brembo.... ...but mine...

That's part of it. Not everybody is willing to accept personal responsibility and would rather blame the supplier. The other part is for their protection.

Businesses change policies all the time. Three years is a long time. I do think they should have told you their policy had changed in that time, though. I haven't used their E-tunes. Do they give you a disclosure similar to the End User Licensing Agreement on a software program?

No...

...only when I received the file, I found a password...

That's a fail on their end. A simple FYI would have gone a long way here. I hope they unlock your map, considering your location and access to tuners. I can't imagine why they wouldn't.
