Hi guys in my late night net trawling i found this VERY interesting link....
http://www.nengun.com/catalogue/product/343
basically the only thing i've regretted with my FC was the lack of a laptop interface and it would seem someone official has caved and along has come this...
Just Want Folks Opinions, will this work with any FC or just the new or just the old one and why does the FC Commander make any differance surely the cable plugs directly into the ECU?

| This has been available for a while. 1 year at least as I looked into last year. The screens are all in Japanese and the loading instructions are not that straight forward as I was told at Thor Racing. As far as I know the best solution, and the route that I took, is to get the Datalogit software. HTH.

For some reason the FC is one of the few ECU's where getting your hands on the software is not easy.
Even cheaper ECU's i.e. the Greddy E-Manage you can get the software, my mate uses his laptop to map his GT4.
My thinking on this is just that because they are one of the few ECU's that comes with a device that lets you monitor and map the ECU then they don't feel the need to supply you with software too?
The MBE Software is pretty cool
