The goal here is not max power but an OEM like solution specially for those customers who have base models and would love the small things like burbles & start up road.

Could you expound a little on the above statement regarding "new software"?
Are you saying it's like anti-dazzle LED's? Burble, etc are there, but "decoded"?
Your tune "unlocks" them?

Is a 2018 DCT "coded" differently than, say, a 2015 car?

What are you referring to when you say "safety parameters"? DSC? What else?
Just looking for as much clarification as I can.

Happy New Year!
