TUNING PIRATES
An English tuning company use illegal copies of Maptun software, and label them as their own!
Maptun hereby want to inform that an English tuning company sells Maptun's stage1 software for the Saab 9-5 2,0 LPT (B205E), and has also sold copies of our stage 3 software for the 9-3 Viggen (B235R). We do not yet know if this company has copied and sold Maptun software for other Saab models, but are of course investigating the matter further.
The last incident was when an exchange unit was returned to us from a customer in Asia. This exchange unit was supposedly a stage 1 software for the 9-5 B205E engine from the English Saab tuner, but the software in the ECU was a 100% PURE COPY of our stage 1 for the same model.
Every single MAP and parameter (exept the Win number) was identical with Maptun's software and it also has Maptun's proprietary scrambling procedure in it. The hardware number, which is unique to each single vehicle, found in the "English" software is also exactly identical to that from one of our Swedish cars. In this case the hardware number (23755R099802253) is from 2002, and belongs to the stock software from a 9-5 B205E in Borås, Sweden.
The company in question is a well reputed company, with a number of years' experience from Saab tuning. They also market themselves as a highly skilled company.
We at Maptun think this is very sad.
Best Regards, Maptun Sweden
