How does bootmod3 flash the car
...
, does it need internet?
bootmod3 is the first cloud based tuning platform. What this means is that we provide all the tools necessary to securely and most efficiently tune the car, through the Web, much like how you have your email with Google (Gmail) instead of hosting your own mail server. Data lives on our servers and the system provides enhanced features such as map editing and configuration, built-in custom tuning with tuners in our Tuner Directory without depending on emailing CSV files and map files back and forth. Tuners and end users can enjoy a high level of efficiency when custom tuning either on a local dyno or working with each other remotely.

Do I need to remove my DME and send it to you to unlock for programming?
In most some cases this isn't is required. There may be cases where the vehicle manufacturer releases a software update and changes the way unlocking the DME through OBD.

Once connected with the car the app will show you the required unlock procedure.

What's the difference between bootmod3 and a piggyback like JB4?
bootmod3 is software and reprograms the vehicle's factory engine computer (DME) and in some cases other ECUs such as the transmission control unit (EGS/TCU). JB4 is a piggyback device. It is a boost controller with ability to run a methanol pump or secondary fuel injectors. TorqByte is another alternative as a meth controller, much more advanced and with finer control from the tuning point of viewPiggybacks are simply boost controllers with extremely limited ability in tuning. Piggybacks usually come to the market first due to simplicity in their install and function. A complete flash tune like bootmod3 is vastly superior in terms of tuning ability retaining all factory failsafes and in some cases taking things even further such as the case with our CustomROM.
