Would there be any benefit to updating my Livernois tuner? I got thinking the other day and wasn't sure if they keep pushing out updates to revise the tunes or once you have it that is all. By updating I mean to connect it to your computer and run the tuner update application. I haven't done any other modifications and have had it since the spring
2011 Ford Taurus SHO non PP Kona blue, Livernois 93 octane 3 bar tune, PPE catless downpipes, muffler delete, 160* stat, K&N drop in filter, VTA mod, rear end lowered, 15% tint, EBC brake upgrade

What are your last versions of the tunes for the '10-12 do you have?
2013 white Gen 5.  Gearhead Intercooler, Turbosmart wastegate actuators, Alky Controls meth kit, Livernois catted downpipes,  Livernois Corsa cat back black etched tips.  2016 True Street Champion.

Only needed to do if you request for tune changes.

I update the update software periodically and check for hardware updates. As the other gents mentioned, the tunes themselves are only updated based on request and if available.

My MyCal touch is so old (bought it in '11) that LME has to email me tune update files and yet they still support me with updates and no complaints. Great customer service.

Ditto for me. I have the MyCal touch too which I got in 2012.  LME (Jaimie) continues to make it all work for me with updated tunes.

One good thing about the old MyCal touch is that it holds a bunch of tunes. I can't remember the limit, but some over the top number like 50.   I should count but I think I've got at least 10 on there.

Remove & replace the SD card (with same memory capacity,  or larger) & you can hold even more.

Oh yea, I forgot about the remove able memory card. It's actually been a pretty good all round tuner!

Thank you for the kind words!

Yes the others are correct on the tuner updates.  The only thing it may find periodically is an updated firmware which typically is to add support for newer VINs such as adding the 2015-16 vehicles to the list of supported VINs.  We would have to actually setup updated tunes specifically for your serial number which is a case by case basis.
