The Cortex device also comes with a special expansion port that will allow users to connect compatible performance accessories to the Cortex device. This means the Cortex can stay in the vehicle cabin and act as a hub communicating with networked accessories such as dash-mount displays, gauges, and supplemental vehicle sensors. An array of compatible devices will be available for sale in 2008.
The Superchips Cortex comes with a two-year limited powertrain warranty. Superchips is the only company with the heritage and confidence to back the product quality as well as the customer's vehicle with a powertrain warranty. This warranty comes with every Cortex device at no additional cost.
The Cortex product line will consist of a mere three part numbers -- one part number for all Ford applications (e.g. gas cars, F-Series gas trucks, diesel trucks), one for all GM applications and one for all Chrysler/Dodge applications. The Ford product will begin shipping in mid-September while GM and Dodge products will follow shortly thereafter.
All Cortex programmers are fully Internet updateable using a software utility that can be downloaded via www.superchips.com.
