Autotuner is already blazing fast. I just sent it on Tuesday, received a duty bill for the return early yesterday... and it arrived at my door step, in Southern California today.

Yup, and with tariffs, about $500 all in. To be exact, mine was $455.62 + $48 tariff. All in, shipping and everything. I also payed $40 for a case but most people don't and been fine.

I don't understand the mental block some people have around this. Most of the time, shipping over seas is faster than on the same continent.

I just kept putting it off because wiring money to Russian hackers felt icky.

You don't have to do that BS with Autotuner. I payed with a credit card via their Shop app integration. It was like buying something off Amazon. You pay via their website, then they handle EVERYTHING. Shipping, etc. DHL came to my house to pick it up. I didn't even have to schedule the pickup.

Femto does it the way you are afraid of.

Too many
I bought the AT unlock a few weeks ago. DHL fucked around a bit which cost a few days, but all said and done it was 7 business days (9 total) to get the ECU back. MHD went on the same day it returned and the car is considerably quicker than before.

I specifically chose AT just to give femto the middle finger for pricing.

Oh good thing I waited. I saw in their IG they introduced a US partner and commented “soon” about a state side unlock.

Just hope this isn’t like a Kies $1500 unlock service situation.

They hired the former head brand manager of APR (He was there for 17 years) to take on the USA business, while he isn't the most likable person, this means they are serious.
