This is just my take on the ecm module from Madness Autoworks. I purchased the non-bluetooth module as I did not see any big advantage to the Bluetooth module. The harness was not hard to install with the non-Bluetooth module, I watched their video a couple of times and I just took my time. From their Stelvio to mine there were a couple of things different, i.e. I had two cables mounted to one of the clips on the heat shield one will remove, which made a total of four cables I needed to remove from clips(I believe this is just how my harness was routed at the factory).
I did not do a before/after Dyno and my opinion is from the seat of the pants. I do feel it does make a difference from stock and it took about 100 miles before I felt a difference. I have removed the module a couple of times when I needed to go to the dealer. This module is very easy to remove and re-install and one just installs the bypass plug, which comes with the module, when the module is removed.
The reason I decided to go this way, is the ease of removing the module and their return within 30 days if not happy policy. I realize there are some companies out there that offer a great tuner, but it would be my luck that my engine would stop running and I would not be able to return the map back to stock, as I understand one would need to do before going to a dealer, but I may go this route when I feel a bit more comfortable down the line.
Again, this is just my opinion and others may feel differently.
