    Changes to the Advantage Custom Tuning Software

    Did anyone that has the software receive the below email?

    Dear Advantage licensees,
    In accordance with our Consent Decree with the EPA, effective January 2, 2019, we will implement tiered access for dealers using our Advantage Tuning Software. Prior to this, you will be required to complete our Customer Verification and Training Programs to continue to have access to parameters in Advantage after that date.
    There are two steps you will have to take in order to continue to access Advantage software after January 2nd:
    1. Verification. In the coming days, you will receive an email inviting you to fill out a 5 minute survey through our Learning Management System. Click the link in the email to complete the questions.
    2. Training. Following your verification, we will send you an email to complete the Customer Training Program. This 30 minute self-directed training involves reading a presentation and taking a short quiz to confirm your knowledge of the covered topics. You will need to score 100%, but you may take the quiz as many times as necessary.
    If you complete the Customer Verification and Training Programs before January 2nd, you will continue your access to Advantage without issue. Based on your responses, the only change you may experience after that date will be the level of parameters you will be permitted to access.
    We will be limiting parameter access after January 2nd in accordance with our consent decree.
    • Tier 1 – "Professional"
    Parameters such as Tire Size, Axle Ratio, Shift Patterns, and other Transmission Controls. Those that have no effect on emissions.
    • Tier 2 – "Calibrator"
    Fueling, Timing and other Engine Controls which, upon review, have a legitimate use when calibrating a street vehicle but may have an effect on emissions.
    • Tier 3 – "Research and Development" (R&D)
    Parameters which directly affect emissions/diagnostics controls and do not have a legitimate use when calibrating a street vehicle.
    • Note: This will not affect any user defined parameters or value files.
    We are always available to answer any questions. Please contact our Customer Success Team at any time. In the meantime, below are answers to FAQs you may have:
    Q: How does this affect my Advantage software?
    A: Advantage software does not change. In accordance to our Consent Decree with EPA, we have to limit access to certain parameters and determine that access for each dealer based on their expressed required use of Advantage.
    Q: What will be done with my personal information?
    A: By completing the Customer Verification and Training Programs, you qualify to have your information kept private. We will not release your personal information to EPA. We will only use your personal information as an internal record of your completion of the programs and to ensure you are given the correct level of access to Advantage parameters.
    Q: When does this information need to be submitted by?
    A: You must finish the Customer Verification and Training Programs by January 2, 2019 to see the least impact on your current Advantage Support.

    Derive Systems is committed to providing the best custom tuning software to our dealers while we work in accordance with our Consent Decree. We look forward to your continued business.

    That was the first one i received Dec 7
    Second email came on the 19th as a reminder. I didn't get the invitation, so sent email. Told all users/customers will be required to go thru it.

    Dear Advantage Licensees,

    As per the notification email that was sent out on December 7, the process to implement the new tiered access to our Advantage Software has begun. On Friday, December 14, invitations began to go out to our Customer Verification Process (CVP).
    If you have not received your invitation, please verify that it did not go to your junk/spam folder and then email us at compliance@derivesystems.com. Our team will assist you to ensure that you receive the invitation.
    We are currently reviewing the responses that we are receiving from the CVP and will email additional training as necessary when it becomes available.
    The tiered access for our Advantage Tuning Software is set to become effective January 2, 2019. Please take the time to complete the required steps in this process prior to the January 2 deadline.

    Any questions, please respond to Compliance@DeriveSystems.com

    As a reminder, here are the steps that were outlined in our earlier communication.

    Interesting - thanks for this. I'll look for it when I get home later this week for a quick turnaround as I came to Florida on 11/27.
