Was APR not in the running as well, especially with there current deal?

I thought they did a 'valet' option and its switchable via the cruise stalk.

i havent got cruise tho and didnt want to spend the 150 on it as i dont think it would be used..

didnt think revo did a valet only a kill.

oh god i thought i researched this properly!!  :ashamed:

The Select Plus probably does not need you to have the PC if you can get someone to preload custom settings ABC! Once they are there, that's it!

REVO / GIAC / APR are all good choices.

APR would be good if you dont plan to play with settings. Cruise I wanted and the toggling of maps is easy and self contained thru the stalk. depends how much you'll actually be doing it!
(as is REVO with SELECT PLUS tbh)

Revo will do that for you when you buy the switch :happy2:

No worries! - I am sure that there are plenty of people on here fairly local to you that can help with a PC/Select Plus. I can't remember how far you are from me?
