Well, if your tuner cant tune the S200, then what use is it to you ? .

Unless you bought his exact setup, you will need to retune the s200 , and that unit was/is only tunable at authorized tuners. ( aka , if your tuner doesn't have the software, skip the idea ).

If your buddy also has rom editor software, then it is a good system . ( but all the people I know, no one ever bought the software as it was an extra $ 195 )

i wouldn't say it's free but it's been bootleg'd. I heard it was leaked from a person that got no support from John. I guess it was some kind of pay back.

crome is a bit buggy but works, but if you can get the s200 cheap give it a try or resell it and get neptune

That should be your answer :-)
Buy an s300 instead.

As far as your question is concerned, I've tuned hundreds of Hondas, and the S200 is the biggest pain in the *** out of any tuning system, mainly because the hardware is a joke and Hondata spent too much R&D on security than manufacturing quality hardware.
