I have RaceChip black. you can change tune through Bluetooth. Works great no issues or glitches very simple install and..... you feel a big difference. Short story; coming back from Home Depot 5 bags of salt for water softener and was pulling on a huracan from a roll with it in kill mode. Get BMC filters too

Is it true you can only change between modes when the engine is off?

If you get the black series you can do it on the fly with car running and driving.

I think you'll find pretty quickly there is no need to change the map after you put it on max setting. It definitely wakes the car up and is totally worth the price, but there really isn't enough variability in the different maps, and overall, map 7 isn't really that aggressive from a 'tuning' perspective. Fun stuff for sure. Ymmv...my personal experience of course.

My concern was being able to drive my car with it disabled & on the drop of a dime turning up the juice. I don't want to constantly drive juiced up LOL
