LOL, yeah GREAT deal, what a joke. Give us back the Predator that we charged you $309.00 for an we'll give you $100.00 off of a $600.00 Trinity LOL........................... So in reality, you actually paid a total of $800.00 if you "trade in" your Predator. TERRIBLE deal, not a good way to treat your customers.

Better off getting a custom tune done by Black Bear, they treat their customers right and with respect.

How about when you guys get the Predator back, take $300 of the $600 and sell existing customers a Trinity for $300.00.....wait, can't do that it would be fair that way.

sorry you hate the idea...

Let me ask you, what do you do with your $300 BB tune when your done with it?
Oh yeah, it has great resale value, oh wait, no it doesn't, because it is a program inside your PCM....and you can't change it, at all, and you can't read codes, and you can't datalog, yeah, the Predator is a rip off ;)

Not trying to be rude but educate yourself.....The EFI Live AutoCal tuned by BlackBear is a handheld tuner and YES, you can read codes with it and data log. You CAN also change the tune, and yes, the AutoCal tuner DOES have resale value. At $549.00 it's a GREAT deal compared to the $800.00 it costs to trade in your Predator for a Trinity. If you are an existing customer, they take care of you (unlike DiabloSport). They will allow you to trade in old PCM and sell you an AutoCal for $259.00, that's a deal!

I own a Predator and it works great for me BUT the customer service is terrible. Seem to be all about sales IMO. How about a real deal and take our out dated Predator and sell us a Trinity for $200.00? That evens the cost to the existing customer a bit.

and it is locked to your vehicle and can't be used on any other, even if you return your truck back to stock...

maybe you should do some research and READ, to be aware of what you're actually getting...

"Each AutoCal device ships with one VIN license available for tuning one engine and one transmission controller." "VIN licenses cannot be copied from one FlashScan or AutoCal device to another AutoCal device." "Although AutoCal can be used to return a customer’s vehicle to stock, doing so will not release the VIN license that was used to flash the vehicle. If you intend to offer remote tuning to your customers using multiple AutoCal devices which are pooled for use by multiple remote customers, you will need to make sure that the AutoCal device to which the customer’s controller was originally licensed is always re-sent to that customer."

meaning, no matter what, your autocal cable/tune/etc. can NOT be used for or by anyone else... so it does NOT have any resale value...

so good luck with that, hahaha... ;)

I was comparing the trade in and customer service of both companies, Diablosport is a joke. Like I said, I own a Predator and it works for what I need BUT the customer service is a joke, ask around. It will be my last DiabloSport item ever. Getting lied t oall the time about product upgrades, not a good way to treat customers. They care about nothing after the sale, greedy fucks that lie to keep making money. Call Black Bear, if you sell your AutoCal you CAN transfer to the new owner. So again, do some research on your side.
