Con's: Perhaps not as many tuners use this compared with other alternatives

Also, i looked into this which was i could get the j3 chip pre custom tuned. All i needed to supply was a dyno printout, list of mods and other small details like smartshield/smartlock, series 1,2,3 etc. The tuner could then take all this into account, look at the dyno sheet and pre tune the chip. This is A LOT CHEAPER then a custom dyno tune, but obviously wont yield the same results as the custom dyno tune. but a tune on a budget this would be a great way to go.
^^^ THIS

J3 is also not going to ask you to purchase the updated model after a certain period of time either so you have no fear of your tuning unit being obsolete or out of date. Support for the unit is here in Australia too.
