Never mind, I got it. "Buddy wants to pick up a Power Programmer - 3 for $150.00"

I can't help you.

Not worth it. I have one and I don't use the "performance settings" as they do very little, if anythng, for the C4.

The best feature is the ability to change the fan temps. The Power Tune will add next to nothing. I know on the OBDII models, it stores the VIN of the car you use it on, and you have to put it back to stock before you can use it on another car.

for changing fan temps, it's wonderful. that's all I use it for. and the car runs much much cooler.
