Default Tuner for 2015? ESC Turn off?

I'm not sure whether I'm just a dummy or I can't find someone who makes a tuner for a '15.
I'm not looking to just regear/tire size. I want to make the throttle a little touchier and add some other features.

On a related note: Do any of these tuners allow you to turn off esc completely or I need to wire an ABS switch?

Press and hold the ESC switch for 5-8 seconds in 4 hi and it disables. If you want to permanently disable it, you need a switch as I don't know of any tuners that'll do that in 2 hi

The Diablosport Intune will allow you to put it in "dyno" mode while in 2wd. This disables the ESC completely. You will probably just have to wait a bit longer until 2015 support is released though.

I had the Diablosport product on my last jeep and liked it a lot. Hopefully they come out with 2015 support soon

Check out the RIPP announcement that was recently posted. The 2015 kits come with a new ECM that "can be manipulated by RIPPs tune." They literally have you remove the whole ECM and replace it. That sounds to me like Chrysler took another step to lock the ECM.

Saw it and thought the same thing. Someone will figure it out, they always do

Default tuner

Diablosport has.... and for a mere thousand dollars (unless you already own the tuner) you can tune your 2015 Wrangler. I'm going to wait for a while and look for feedback
from people who have tried it. With any new product, I hate to jump right in before they figure out the bugs that are usually normal with anything that's new. And I don't have a thousand dollars to spend.

I did a cut off switch in mine. It cost me 5 bucks in parts. It kills the ABS ESP and traction control completely.

I had Diablo swap out my ECU with their aftermarket one. I was actually their test bed. No issues so far. The new ecu looks exactly the same when you open the engine bay.
