If you are selling your car on ebay, why are you considering dinan software?

[Traian]

50% off puts them in line with everyone else at least. They should make it a permanent sale.

Ok

Speaking on behalf of my peeps--the clueless--"What does this software do?"

Same idea as an EAT chip

Also, it's a mail in rebate for all you impatient people. I would've already bought this for my 540 if it was an instant rebate.

Actually it depends on what software you're talking about. IF you're talking about the "engine software" then you're right, its similar to the EAT or Conforti chip, which I understand are *better* than the Dinan version (i.e., Dinan's engine chip doesn't kick in until WOT; EAT and Conforti open things up all thru out the powerband).

However, if you have an AUTO/Slushbox, Dinan is the only vendor who offers a "transmission" chip. This chip supposedly remaps the shift points so that your car shifts earlier/faster. I have a 5spd manual, so I don't know much about this chip, but I hear it works fine. At 50% off, its probably a good deal if that's what you want.

rebates from dinan was back in Feb.. I just called and they said it is an automatic discount.. NO REBATE. So for the Tranny software it is $99.99 up front.. Dinan will receiver the order, Burn the chip, then ship it to your Dinan dealer for pickup.

You have to find a dinan dealer to order the chip.. They dont sell direct.

front the little information a dealer provided.. Tranny Chip will let your car start at 1st gear and Shift at more aggressive shift point..

**** 99 bux is a great deal!!!!

Very interested in this now!

I called them also... it really is a good opportunity to compare EAT and Dinan engine chips... with and without the Dinan trans chip

[632 Regal]

i cant change the trans chips yet, Marks chip is on the way and I have to give it an honest evaluation. I do want a trans chip tho, it shifts way to early.

More cluelessness.

What does WOT stand for? I have a 5 speed with a Dinan chip, so I have a personal interest in the answer. I also have Dinan floormats. Do those make my car go any faster?


(Just joking--not really THAT clueless).

[Blitzkrieg Bob]

those and changing the air in the tires are the most productive modification anyone can do.
