That's not entirely true. AEM doesn't offer much by the way of support. Most of the support done are by end users that make use of their forums. Which isn't actually so bad afterall. But the "claimed" pnp usage of the AEM EMS isn't like the PFC in which it comes with basemaps that will work with your stock car.

The AEM EMS may have basemaps, but these basemaps suck, they're basically enough to get your engine to turn on and get atop the dyno and then have it tuned. It is definitely not enough to drive it around on the street or anything like that.

The AEM EMS should be compared to if anything a pnp version of the Haltech E11, which I might say is a terrific unit. But the Haltech is just that, it doesn't have basemaps either.

Where the EMS and E11 shine is in full tunability, vs the PFC with very few options.
