Default Alcatek Software?

Hi all, any ideas where I can get the Alcatek software? I have tried contacting them direct but no response.
I just need to Change the setup from a UK to jdm so I can get started. Happy to buy it for the future, I'm not going to try map myself don't worry.

Thanks

Are they really that horrible? I have an old Simtek that I would like to have upgraded and also have AVCS control added as I have a newly built JDM STI 2.1 stroker engine going into my Type R. Not really any mappers here in Sweden that would help it go any faster either so I would have to deal with them directly.

Would it just be better to go Syvecs then?

If I had my time again I would not get Alcatek, not because of functionality, but because of the communications. Go elsewhere if you can and perhaps chat to a reputable mapper for pointers. It's easier to get a straight answer out of the PM than it is Mr Leech.

Just go for a syvecs, again not for functionality but for the fact that their customer service is better, in that they actually answer emails and dont take forever to repair, upgrade/replace anything

Or best bet it going to a alcatek dealer as I hear through the grape vine Andy has a secret number to which he answers instantly.
The alcatek 'supplier' don't have an issue of getting it.
