Total bunk and nothing but marketing ploy to suck people into taking a rev .0, C7 spend 50-70K to buy and then have some hackers down in aussieland who can care less about car owners warranty or USA smog rules.
As it is there is a ton of Hackers out there claiming to be "tuners" who cost countless people with like C6s with blown LS7s and GM warranty that was ripped up

It was the same marketing that made claims and then could not support the E40 PCM for 2005 and the same when the A6 trannie came out the same vendor was not able to tune that for some time

You cannot compare what they see in aussie land, if GM pickups using LT1 or what Holden is using
C7 has logic such as launch control, rev matching on shifts and even the new control for NPP that cannot be seen hacking with a truck PCM.
There is a big difference in yanking the flash chip out of the PCM to get around all the security and reading that in static mode and what will be required for a stand alone tuning production product.

Until C7s are on the streets to even be the testpigs then "it's a done deal" claim now is bogus, unsafe and a tuning vendor outside the USA could care less how many C7s are blown to hell on bogus tuning process.

As to wrong, now it is just a fairy tale as not one tuner has the PCM coded for a C7 much less the total car to do countless tune setups to assure VVT, DOD, DI, new fuel pump system, all all the other new functions can be safety tuned or even if those functions are controlled within the PCM

The question is now that vendors cannot lie about GM trapping that PCM was flashed just how many new C7 owners will even consider someone hacking their C7 with the threat of warranty loss ?
