Bootmod3 map pack

So the bm3 licence from protuningfreaks offered one ots map from them. How many tuners are there on the bm3 platform and who is the best? Will all the tuner's files be accessible with the purchase of the map pack from protuningfreaks?

I think w/ BM3, you buy the license, then you get access to some OTS (Off the shelf) maps. There are tuners out there (plenty actually) but those custom maps are at an additional cost, per the individual tuner.

Someone please correct me if I'm mistaken.

I had a little look around the interface today. It would make sense for the Map pack available at protuningfreaks to only include the OTS maps that they write. There appears to be many many tuners but looks like you pay for their maps individually and have to request them, they're not available to browse through it would seem.

Protuningfreaks appear to know what they are doing so maybe a good idea to just use their maps, unless someone has a reason not to?

When you say it's not working do you mean its failing to flash? If so what warning are you getting?

Did you notice a harsh feeling from the back end when you get the power down? Maybe it's in my head.

Protuningfreaks have got back to me quickly. Check your spam/junk folder, my emails from them went in there.
