your a ********, we worked so hard to get Hptuners to believe in the 4 cylinder american market. It took us years over at jbody.org to get them to make the software. Then after a few years of delay it finally comes out.
Dont be such a ******* cheap bastard and support the only company that supports us.

I agree with the ******** comment. And even if you could download it how are you going to use it? You still need the cable to be able to hook up the car to the computer.

I'm sure if you looked for HP tuners you could find it... there was a thread on this a while back.
But...
1: if you find something named "HP Tuners" it's probably gonna just be a virus
2: not only will you need the cable to connect to the car... you'll also need the credits to use the program
Pirating may be ethicly wrong... but I'm all for grabbing what you can to a certain degree. Music.... videos... games... graphics software... just b/c I think it's rediculous to pay several hundred dollars for something like Photoshop, MS Office, Flash, or Dreamweaver. Especially when school requires you to have the programs... and dosen't offer you a way to pay for it.
I'd probably stay away from something as important as car tuning software though... sounds a little to dangerous to me.
Remember... "The best things in the world are FREE." LOL

Even IF you could find the software, you can't open it without an Application Key, and you cannot even save or modify a file without first connecting the cable to the comptuer and verifying the license. It would be pointless to look for it.
As for the Illegal part. I don't see how having the file or program itself is wrong, unless you find a way to hack it and create your own credits etc. HPTUNERS allows you to DL the software from their website, and if you want o pay for credits and cables, that's how they make their money. They don't make their money on the software.

alright here's what you should do travis somehow get your hand on the program call hptuners and say you need a replacement cable as it was a gift to you and you lost it so there's your cable and software now just buy the credits and bam hptuners for little to nothing i'm sorry 500 bucks for a cable and a program is just damn rediculous. in economics you learn about elasticity of demand and how it correlates to how much you can charge for a product. hptuners seems to be realtively in-elastic (no matter what the price demand is going to be relatively equal) now if they were smart and did like a group buy for half that price they would more than double their sales and their revenue but hey I guess their marketing director never took an economics course.

i'm a torrents man and i get every software and song and movie and game free and i'm not ashamed of it cause i'm not gonna pay any company one more penny to make them richer. And believe me if you get enough people on the torrent forums they can make a crack to override the checking for credits since it works with someting like that
