Yes, correct. It's not a standalone device. A Windows based PC is needed to complete the installation.Please correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't one need a laptop with Windows in it to install the Trifecta tune?
A friend of mine in Australia has a BNR tune on his 1.6T Cruze with only a cat back exhaust and has over 220hp.Thanks much. As I wrote I have absolutely nothing against Trifecta. Sure it's a good tune. However, I have the BNR install box from a previous car which, I hope, will save me several dollars and make it easier for this computer amateur to do the install.
I have an Apple lap top. Would need to purchase and install Windows on the device to install Trifecta. That's my real problem. Thanks.I had the Trifecta Tune for my Sonic 1.4T. Such simple tune to install. But if you are afraid of your laptop, I get it. Really, Really easy though... also well documented and plenty of folks have done it and will help if there are issues. Never heard of anybody bricking their system with it either. Good luck either way as that Turbo and a tune is awe inspiring from these vehicles.
You still need a laptop to initially setup and load files to and off of any 'handheld' device anyways. EFI, Diablo, all require a Windows laptop to install their software interface onto that then communicates with the handheld device.I have an Apple laptop.

This is incorrect information. Perhaps you should become more versed in tuning options before you comment on a thread specifically about another vendor.You still need a laptop to initially setup and load files to and off of any 'handheld' device anyways. EFI, Diablo, all require a Windows laptop to install their software interface onto that then communicates with the handheld device.
To add: You can run Windows in Bootcamp or something like Parallels on the Mac as well, as a solution. Just sharing that you have options, no matter what route you chose.
It depends on how you drive it. If you drive like a sane person your mileage will stay about the same, if not slightly improved. I drive the Cruze like it owes me money. Despite this and cold weather, I'm averaging 32-36mpg. On the few warm days above 60 degrees, I've gotten back into the 40mpg range again. This is all Ohio state highway driving (not interstate) with a few stops, turns, and hills to conquer.What about MPG? Or do people that tune their cruzes not concerned about MPG. Sorry I'm a newbie to any modification soutside of OEM.
