The V Pro does not come with any maps on it at all sort of like how you would get a MOTEC. It is basically a blank sheet. You can be able to get maps from Authorized Pro Dealers who have the power writer for it but other than that it is not plug and play.
HKS USA will be releasing the V Pro in a few months but it is not recommended for street cars unless you are local to a tuning shop that can program it from scratch. It is not user friendly like the PFC.
HKS will also have the FCON S which is a piggy back but is a lot better than the older FCONs

HKS will also have the FCON S which is a piggy back but is a lot better than the older FCONs. It does come with base maps and is plug an play but again for tuning you will need to find a Pro Dealer.
Right now there are 3 or 4 pro dealers in the US. Dynamic Auto, Altered Atmosphere are two of them.
Until the V Pro comes out I opted for the PFC.

i love it! i got about 50 hp just form switching from the power FC to the fcon! the guy that tunes mine is he FCON wizard for all of northern japan so now that it is set it should be good to go! also i hooked up the pro starter to it kinda like a msd's launch control but the ECU does it for you. glad to hear they have em coming to the states, i think mine was about 1800 with the harness tuning it came out to 800.

Ya the FCON V Pro will be available in the states but it isn't gonna be something that most people can use. Since it has no "commander" like the PFC people cannont trade programs and maps. Unless someone has one of the few "Pro" dealers near them it is basically a usless box. "Pro" dealers will be able to sell pre programmed units but untill they are able to create maps from scratch it will be awhile.

yup you lucky bastard.....i'm actually one of the lucky ones who have access to getting it tuned but for lots of people it's gonna suck. I should be getting it in the next couple of monthes.
Also no it cannot be tuned by laptop unless you have the HKS Power Writter program.
