Default Tuner that works with mac

I was leaning towards the PowerVision tuner but it seems that you need a windows computer to load maps. Since i only have a mac computer this option seems to not work for me. What are other good tuners that work with mac computers?

I have been using a Macbook Pro since 2011 with windows based tuning software including PowerVision. Buy Parallels for MAC (you will need to also buy a Windows operating system), or buy a dirt cheap Windows machine just for tuning.

Feel free to pm me if you would like to discuss in detail.

I also run Macs, so maybe no help, but faced with the same thing, I resurrected a retired 2011 PC with a Win 7 license, found a (legit) hack to load Win 10 for free and got it running so I could swap Powervision tunes with Fuel Moto. So far so good.

yup. bootcamp or virtual machine.

I use a windows 7 (best windows ever!) running on VMWare fusion for my tuning needs.

yep, windows 7 is great. one of the last systems that lets you get deep into the file structure.
windows 10 limits access and it spies greatly and if you do not go in and change settings, microsoft will use your resources to update other computers.
to boot usually updates cause more harm than good and then you have to wait for them to fix it.
i liked xp also but finally had to upgrade since my automobile software out grew it but 7 took over.
