Macbook Pro software tuning?

I have a macbook pro 2012. Is there any native mac tuning software that works with Moates? I also have windows 7 bootcamp installed So I am hoping with USB I can use that for moates and tuner pro.

Any one try this?

Nope, not a lick. The only software I know of that is native mac is the Cobb Accessport tuner software, and thats just to load tunes onto the AP. Cobb's stand alone tuning software is Windows only.

You either run it via bootcamp, or from a VM.

I've flashed my LT1 PCM with my Macbook Pro running a Win7 VM before. it was scary at first, but it works out just fine. Just make sure to completely disable all sleep/hibernate modes from within the VM, and the laptop.

With a chip based system that you are swapping in/put its much less dangerous as its easy to fix a bricked chip.

With a soldered in flashable PCM like my LT1 PCM it was a little more tense.

If I were you I would use windows in bootcamp and do it from there, less chance of probs IMO
