Well that's....unfortunate. So here goes another $400 to use DS functionality, meanwhile nobody seems to want a DCX these days. I'm laughing at the irony of waiting almost six years to finally get the shaft though. I know it's unintentional, but still, bravo...

Could you give us a Estimated release date? I can't wait. I love everything everything about my truck except the software of the transmission. Torque management and shift firmness sucks on the trucks. My challenger isn't all that bad.

Waiting also. It's been 9 months since this thread started and were told it's in development, and now 5 weeks of being tested. Surely it must be close!

there is a reason I have specifically not provided an ETA. We want it to work and work well, so it may take time. I dont think I can fully explain the scope of work required to map all these tcm cals, besides getting support added to the tools to read/write and update these modules. We're on it ;)

Q2 2018?

on a scale of 1 - 100 how close (non-binding, just your gut feel) is it to being completed?

Totally get that there are so many moving parts to this and you would understand the process better than anyone here.

currently they are testing 8 speed stuff, but if they hit a wall they'll move back to EGS stuff, etc.
My guess is that we'll have one of these TCM projects released on at least one tool in the next 60 days.

I just programmed the TCM on one of our guys 15 Rams. Did a cal update, read backup, then loaded a custom tune, all good.
Will be testing on my 17 Scat Pack tomorrow and we have a few dealers in the field testing on personal vehicles.
Looking to get this out on i2 asap ;)
