Ok so it's the cable that's stopping us or do you mean the tuner software vs standard?

Few more questioins so my tuner said that I can't just buy a license anymore? Like the standard base tune for 250 on their website? He says you have to buy the whole tuner kit? That can't be right considering Z1 charges around 600 to dyno tune the car they would be loosing money.

I'm confused and aggravated atm the closest pro tuner on their website is about 3 hours away I already e-mailed them my VIN so they can see if it's been cracked which my local tuner plugged in and said that the rom is available for my part number. He also said he has to pro version so WTF? Why can't I just buy a license? I'm assuming what he has is just for one vehicle and there is something else you would buy as a shop to sell licenses with all the available options like the cracked VVEL etc? So if he needs to tune my car I would need a pro tuner license?

edit: Nvm sooo I talked to uprev already pretty much there is no longer a real support for local tuners. They only release the vvel crack to their pro tuners. I'm not going to pay for the tuner version since they specifically said you can't adjust vvel. If that's the case your better off buying the standard. I'm pretty damn aggravated with all this I need a damn tune and can't get a decent one without taking a couple days to get to one of their tuners. Then take in drive time expenses etc I'm well over a grand just for a tune when I have a dyno shop 5 minutes away and a tuner not much further. Any alternatives guys? I'm thinking ECUTECH is looking pretty good right now but that's all e-tune as well unless you're in CT?
