Yep, absolutely agree, there are definitely other factors to breaking the wheels loose.

Just to give people a little info that I got from the guys at SC today, I was told that the new options would be released "at the end of the month if not sooner."

I didn't think beta testing had started yet but the info I got is directly from Superchips. Maybe the beta testing process doesn't take very long to complete?

The pre-beta testing is working out most of the bugs and menu operations. When it goes to the beta testers, the program will be just about complete. During the beta period that will follow, testers will provide feedback on any bugs they encounter or improvements they may want to see happen.

Yep what Sil said is pretty much it.

Alphas are the raw data testers, dealing directly with the engineers to make sure the new features work on the road in different scenarios so that once we get it to the Betas and general public we are 100% sure the option will not cause any irregularities or leave you stranded somewhere.

Betas get the programs and run it in their vehicles once more to help us determine if we missed something important or if there are issues running it in more areas of the country in different environments.

We take this approach because of the complexity involved in perfecting this option. It takes that much more time to factor in every possible scenario needing to be thoroughly tested so that the product will be 100% safe and reliable for the end user.

Once we get the ok from the betas it will be ready for mass consumption.
