Default Lock Tunes

Is there anyway I can lock my tunes? I am wanting to be able to tweak my customers tunes and send them back to them based off of their data logs. I was planning on having them log with msdroid as well as use it to upload their new tunes. I just dont want them messing with their tune files.

Nothing infuriates me more than piece of crap douchebag "pro tuners" who lock their tunes and not let anyone see them or be able to do anything with them. No, megasquirt doesnt' have that. And I'm glad they don't. One of the last platforms out there that doesn't completely cut out the end user.

Customer paid you for a tune. They deserve to be able to open it and adjust it if they want. Tell them not to mess with it if the actual concern is that they'll mess it up. If they do, it's on them. I refuse to lock my tunes even when I have the ability to do so.

This has actually come up a few times on the MS forums. Both James and Ken are firmly against it for the same reason you are. They also say it would require an extremely big rewrite of code to do it, and it is something they never want to touch.

Im not against them being able to tune it themselves. If they want to do that they can start with a base map from diy.

Or they can pay someone that's not a greedy d-bag, who will tune their car and let them know and see everything he's doing, because he's not in it for just the money, and because they paid him and should be able to do what they please with what they paid for.

No problem. You don't even need to come back, we're not particularly fond of people like you.

He's paying you for a service dicknut. Don't like it, don't tune megasquirt for pay.

Not allowing him to change things at will is like going to a restaurant and having the chef force feed you the food he cooked even if you don't like it.
