    For those that thought they didn't exist

    I picked up my "Generic Tuners" iSoftloader earlier.





    I've now done the registration procedure. (For which you need a Windows PC....luckily the device works well with VMware). Need to wait for up to 24 hours now for my maps to be made available to me. Will update you all when its up and running :-)

    Yeah Russ there has been quite a waiting list for these which is probably a few people started to describe them as "vapour-ware". Hopefully supplies will start to become more abundant.

    If anything I'm hoping selecting a lower stage map will stop the AWD wheel spinning in 3rd. (Yeah I could control it but its becoming addictive lighting up all 4 wheels, better to take away the temptation lol).

    Yeah I ordered mine before they started shipping as well....as did so many people infront of me so didnt get on the first shipment lol

    Cheers for the good luck.....might need it lol.

    You might know this Russ. Once these are registered and the maps are on the unit do they work without being tailed to a laptop? I ask because when I remove the usb connection the unit goes dead. (Might need charging though.....dont know lol).
