Seriously? You paid for this damn thing and you didn't even know if it will work on your car or not?

Next time, do your research BEFORE you drop a grand on a car part...

sounds like the smarter thing to do was to get hondata, its cheaper it comes with preloaded maps and can always be tuned, i have used it and it works great.

Ok i did a little research on you plug and play aem and if the info is correct u=you should be able to change the setting (tune) your car with a laptop, how ever if you have little expierance with tuning any car or if there isnt a performance shop near by that could use this kinda of software then i dont recomend it. tuning your car by your self is aking for problems and can become a honda night mare.

My friend Shaun Cap tuned his 300whp RSX with an AEM EMS. First car he tuned and it's been running right for over a year(15k-20k). From the way he puts it a baby could tune a car with one and spending the extra cash on it is well worth it.

as for the Aem ecu. If it came BRAND new and no one has messed with it. then it shouldn't give you any problems. I ve heard that AEM's ecu's are good.
