Has anyone heard any news on release dates for an ECM Performance Programmer? Spoke with a BullyDog Tech in January and he reported they had one in "planning" but too soon for a release date. I've gotten zip from the other manufactures.
With BWoody Air Intake released & 3 Flavors of Cat-back, was looking for a programmer too!
Read about New Superchip products: Avid and Vivid. Soon to be released and runs on Android devices. Avid Bluetooth product can be used with existing Android phones or with one supplied with Vivid product. See Vendor Form link: http://www.jeepgarage.org/showthread.php?t=15224
Grantb, sounds great, hope you enjoy the beta time & the sneak peek! Scott (superchip) thought it should be out on market by March, but that's anyone's guesstimate until arrives! I'm still in waiting for my WK2 to be delivered, so my garage is accumulating boxes.
I'm interested in the dongle add-on component to be used with existing Andriod devices. I'm especially interested if they offer more than the canned pre-programed setups and allow the User to make separate adjustments.
When do you expect to get a hands-on to the beta hardware?
I am keeping the pressure on my Superchips contact, but no ETA at this point (which sucks).
I will be sure to post a link probably in the performance section somewhere!! :thumbsup:
For the viewers who didn't check your your link to a previous post - this is what we are talking about here-
Nothing yet definite. Several months would be my best guess. We are in testing and I have seen the screen and optional displays. Really cool stuff. Can’t wait till this becomes available. No word on price yet either. Still have no idea if any of this will get Beta tested outside the confines of this building. We have done Beta testing in the past with folks outside the building, but we will see how we handle this new technology.
I was told that it was being pushed back to the end of the 2nd quarter. Unfortunately even I am not getting a straight answer on a time frame due to the fact that our R&D team is still working on some of the apps we want to have included in the product.
Now, just so I don't get all excited and then let down.... will programming software for the pentastar be sold without needing to buy this Archos Android device? Either in a stand alone Superchips programming hardware or as potentially just a piece of software that can be loaded on other android devices (such as Droid X)?
I'm sure this awesome-amazing-doeverything-pretty-classy-monster-all-in-one Archos droid programmer thingy will cost quite a pretty penny eh?
I just need to tune the Pentastar!
And maybe down the road use it for a nice centrifugal supercharger to go with it???
All of our current apps along with 2011 support (including the Pentastar motor) will be integrated into VIVID.
We will be offering a base package called the AVID which will includes the dongle and software for use in droid based products with version 2.1 or higher.

As a noobie to tuners, why is the wk2 so much different than last year's model? Isn't the engine/tranny basically the same as previous years? Not trying to start an argument just trying to learn a little.
Superchips does not disclose the product launch date to the public until we are certain we can make the delivery date.
We have communicated some tentative timing to our distribution network; however those dates are subject to change pending validation testing and production scheduling in our Florida facility. VIVID will be available spring 2011 so stay tuned for further details.
The dealer linked has jumped the gun on this product on a number of occasions with part number and pricing info not even available to them at the time it was posted.
I recommend for your own protection that you do not go by this dealers data or pre purchase a unit from them until a guaranteed date has been posted by me.
I have been told that in another week or two I will have more detailed info to offer you. We just don't want to release a date that we can't deliver on at this time.
Actually I've seen a ton of stuff for the Challengers. I own a R/T Magnum and theres so many things for these vehicles.
The reason for a wait for the programmers is that its a completely redesigned model for the 2011 GC. These things take a little time to figure out and work out any bugs.
Its pretty much like this with all brand new models as far as I know.
Sorry for the late reply, I was out at Moab testing our 08 on the trails and showing off a demo of the VIVID (will post pic's of it later today).
We are still trying to break through the additional security added to the 2011 PCM's. We appreciate your patience with this and hope to have this issue resolved soon.
Scott, would you say were still looking at a minimum of months if not longer for a WK2 programmer? Once you even get access to the PCM, then comes all the tuning efforts.. ?
Next item on my list...can't wait to get some real performance change. I feel like the cut off is 200 rpm to low at 5700. I also hate this drive by wire TB....lag.
