More power, less fuel

Dunno
Perhaps the dealer will spot the remap when plugging the laptop in but not a box if its removed

he seemed convinced it didn't matter if the chip was on or off they would know

You can remap the tier3 Massey over the OBD port after a fashion! You can ID the ecu and then if the database contains an original you can modify this and write. Just no reading with opening

Yes you can, has to be done in boot mode, so open case on bdm machine

Interesting, please tell me more. This is the first I've heard of these being possible to tune without a chip..

If it has jd link on it they would be able to see if the machine is running outside of parameters I believe.

Just my opinion, and I may be totally wrong here, but I think tuning boxes are out of date at this stage. They were fine on older, simpler engines. However, emissions control on modern engines are the principle cause of poor performance and high fuel consumption. It needs a competent person with a laptop to sort it....

Yes, the emission systems are something of a nuisance, however manufacturers are legally obliged to fit them.
A tuning device can be removed & used on a different tractor if required. The basic engine control software updated if without needing to be remapped again. Cost wise, there is little in it & the tuning devices seem to have a trial period too..
Hmmmmm,,,,,,,,,,,,

If a trial period is available, grab it with both hands. You will know at the end of it exactly what the box is capable of, and an accurate report here on the forum would probably benefit a lot of people.......

Now then.... I prefer remap as the engine can be tuned. However can be lost if the dealer has to update the engine software. The plug and play have the advantage of being moved from tractor to tractor but are less reliable.
