Does the app automatically make a back up before you do any coding ? Also if you do have a error how do u revert back to backup? I just see people where they have errors any way to make sure this doesn't happen? Will a iPhone 6 have enough computing power to code my car?

I currently use an iPhone 6. Its a non issue.

As far as backups... I got into coding before I ever thought about creating a backup. Absolutely never had an issue.

If you are nervous about using this software... rightfully so. But honestly- the risk is almost non existent if you stay in 'basic mode'

You would almost have to purposely try to fuck shit up... and EVEN THEN, NOT SURE ITS POSSIBLE.

Now... if you go into Expert mode and start changing lines of code... you are on your own!

I believe that once you enter each module... at the very bottom there is an option to create backup for that specific module.

Honestly never clicked it and have a feeling there is some sort of auto backup going on...

Makes sense I will have to look at it! Have you ever experienced any errors ?

Other than the expected ones, no.

By expected I mean that when you code certain modules you may get a drivetrain malfunction on the dash. No worries, just start the engine and it disappears.

Poof!
