With the recent news last week that Patriot has closed its doors (or had its doors forced closed), Im stuck in a bad situation with no support with a device I wont be able to sell. I have an nGauge device thats locked only to Patriot and my truck. It apparently can be relicensed to a different tuner by Emotion (the company that makes the nGauge), but they wont respond to any of my emails in the last 2 weeks. If I can manage to get ahold of them to get my device relicensed to another company, I have to decide on whos tuning to go with now. It sounds like Chaos is the front runner for tuning on the nGauge device currently, but wondering if anyone can compare. Has anyone made the switch from Patriot to Chaos for 2017+ tuning?
So either it sounds like I have to spend $500 do get the nGauge relicensed and new tunes installed, or switch all together to EZlynk for $1300+ where Ill have more options. Obviously in a perfect world where money was no object, Id be going the EZlynk route and being done with this. Unfortunately, I have to be more budget conscience. But I wont even be able to sell my Patriot nGauge as I cant get it unlocked from Patriot to switch to someone elses truck. So Ill have an expensive paper weight laying around unless I can at least get it switched to another tuner. Either way, if anyone has made the switch from Patriot to Chaos, or has any other advice in this situation, Id love to hear it!
