Thanks for an explanation.
Polyian, the X4/7015FS will come will our 87 octane daily tow preloaded onto the unit. The code was needed prior as the standard X4/7015 does not support the RV applications with the exception of custom tunes only. The 7015FS is preloaded with all of our custom tunes prior to the device shipping from our location. Any other questions on the differences let us know.

Thank You very much for your detailed explanation. I purchased an X4/7015FS tuner on line from one of your dealers and I was not asked for a code. The literature said it is no longer required yet people on here keep posting that the PCM code is needed. I wondered why the Code requirement had been dropped, that answers my question.

And, I can now say that this has been the best upgrade I have done to our rig. It drives so civilized now and holds top gear cruising without the Torque Converter unlocking and downshifting on small grades. Just accelerating onto the freeway is a whole new experience using all the gears. It is a much more relaxing drive without the engine suddenly dropping into 3rd and screaming like a banshee. I am eagerly waiting my drive back north in the Spring to feel the difference in the Northern California/Oregon mountains (well not too eagerly)...Cheers

You're very welcome! All of our direct vendors have access to our 7015FS units that do not require the code. We greatly appreciate you sharing your thoughts and experiences that range from driving, to merging and your all around driving experience. Keep us posted on how your ventures through the California/Oregon mountains treat you.

If I put the stock tune back on, how many miles should I drive before taking it in for smog? Or can I flash it to stock and go right in?

Thanks!
A little late, but it will answer for other Californians. If you go back to the factory tune, you need to put about 100 miles on it. All your info gets cleared when swapping tunes.
As far as can you smog it with the tune installed. I don't know the answer to that. I would smog with the factory tune.

As Usual for my luck. Just bought my 5 Star tune beginning of March. Didn't check here. Darn it! One question though, you stated that the normal price was $518. I paid $499.95. What's up with that?
