LMS Touchscreen MyCalibrator

:bigthanx:  Big Thanks to SBS for taking his time and resources in order to give us a first hand look on exactly what new features the new LMS Calibrator has to offer,especially his fair and unbiased review in respect to each and every tuner on board.  :thumb: :thumb:
Thats Pure commitment on his part. Z
            :thankyou:

No worries, I enjoy this kinda stuff and the more information the ecoboost community has, the more informed decisions they can make. Although I will say unless something radically changes I am pretty much done for the foreseeable future trying different tuners. But THAT is a discussion for a different time.

I really want this Touchscreen Mycalibrator to be a home run for LME. I think the potential is there for this to be a stellar product that really does put an end to this "LMS doesn't datalog or offer a device that allows you too so its just a canned tune" argument to bed.

The caveat being since a lot of the parameters they look at when tuning being "proprietary", expect to see only the "usual" PIDs on the new device.  No biggie, and this device will surely be a big hit :thumb:

Oh no doubt they are not giving away anything that would be considered or related to their secret sauce.

But they do need to update it to allow for basic monitoring of fuel trims, boost, knock at a minimum.

Only thing from a user standpoint I would recommend is making the PID selection more touchscreen friendly. As of right now the only way to really use it is with a stylist as far as setting up the gauges.

I really do like the ability to store up to 4 datalogs at once...

The screen itself it really nice too, LMS has clearly setup the colors to promote their brand (blue and white) but the screen is capable of the full color spectrum.

Additionally it also APPEARS the software on the tuner itself was developed by or for LMS... sniffing the USB data only provides LMS branded info.

As an example, the standard MyCalibrator has hypertech branded in the usb packets sent.

Really?  I guess they had to start SOMEwhere!

Oh I’m not criticizing... they moved off SCT to something that they could use for the proprietary software.. hypertech is so generic you can put almost anything on it...

It’s just a piece of hardware to push a tune...

And the new tune files all say converted at the end. So they have made changes to the tuning software too...

All new and exciting things!

IMHO organically developed stuff from major vendors are generally much better than resold gear.
