FC Commander Pro
 

Does anyone have more info on the FC Commander Pro? Will they be releasing an english version?

what's the difference between this one and the old one?

fully programmable I guess with a tech1 connection on the ECU

Looks like the only difference is that now APEXi is making the Powerexcel software available to everyone now and they're selling it as a package with the commander with an input for the laptop somehow.

is that software similar to datalogit?

^Yes, I'm pretty sure atleast

Where did you find this out? I would like more info!!

Did some Googling - copy/paste from a UK Skyline forum -

"Apexi also launched the FC Commander Pro which is a PC interface and the mapping software for the Power FC - looks interesting for about 500 quid."

Hard to say what the price would be - who knows how he arrived at that price from the price in yen. This was from a few things the guy saw new-product-wise from the Tokyo Auto Salon 2005, so it must have been debuted there.

I'm gonna look for TAS 2005 reports to see if I can find a mention of it.

500 quid = 500 uk pounds ~ usd1000 ouch :(

I will try and see if my friend in japan can find anything out.

Yeah, but you're taking someone's unknown conversion from yen to pounds, then to US dollars. You'd have to go straight from yen to dollars for a real price.

98,000.00 Japanese Yen(s) = 964.238 US Dollar(s)

OUCH!!!

Makes me glad the datalogit was made.

The big "98,000 yen" price at the top of the ad is the new price for the PowerFC and commander, not the new FC Pro. I think they'd be on crack to sell a cable and CD-ROM for that much :).

It's up on he Apex Japan site..

The babelfish translation is:

FUNCTION:
- Data rewriting with personal computer of power FC
- Apex engine part タービンキットシリ
- Installation and setting of ズ
- All セッティン regarding the engine and electronic control
グ and service
- Various consultations regarding tuning

That's just talking about the old PowerFC software that only Apexi shops in Japan had - that statement has been there FOREVER. Trust me, I reguarly hit the Japanese web sites looking for new products :).

Whenever they get it on their page, it will likely be mentioned in the News section.

List price is 48000 Yen....about $450. It's in the ad....just too small to read.

Ah! I thought that was the price at the bottom, but it is hard to make out. Street price will likely be mid-upper $300's. It's a little more than the FC-Datalogit, so it would have to be quite good to justify the higher price :).
