    Howdy all,

    I'd like to tune our 14 limited for a bit more mid range grunt. I've heard good things about Yotawerx, but I wanted to ask (and I did try to search the forum, please don't kill me) if there's any DIY. For example, my last tuning experience was with an ezlynk in a nissan, and I was able to buy a tune pack locked to my vin, associate it to my account, and tune in my driveway. Nice and simple. Anything like that for us? I really don't want to go to someone else if the capability exists to do it at home. Just wondering, and I get it if the answer is no, roll my fat @$$ to a tuner.

    People say OTT is the better one. You have to buy the programmer for loading canned tunes which isn't cheap. I'd speak to a OTT tuner near you about it. https://overlandtailor.com/

    Hey thx for the quick response. I had to do the same for my nissan (but it was so, so worth it). Only have 104k on our '14, it's gonna be around for a long time still, so worth the investment. Thx!

    I guess I should be clear that what I am seeking is remote flash with an every day use type tune. Really trying hard to avoid having to go to someone else to get this done. I was spoiled by my ezlynk - it backed up my truck's stock tune, and then I could push whatever tune I wanted onto it in about 5 mins.

    I knew what you meant with the home tune which is possible with the correct tuner because I looked into it but it’s not the same as your Nissan or HP Tuners with my GTO. Speaking to one of the tuners near you can clear things up. I would buy the tuner to have the ability to swap tunes but I already run 91 anyway so probably no need.

    Sadly, where I am, there's no local tuners. Well, I think there might be one for OTT, but for yotawerx, they are not near me at all and nobody else is.
