Hypertech for 2013 G37?

I contacted Hypertech and asked when they were releasing the software for the 2013 G37. I got the following response:
We do not have a tuning device for this make and model, we may eventually but no word as to when at this time. We will not know the availability for a new application until a week or so prior to the release...
After a couple of follow up emails, they wouldn't even say they were working on the 2013 Infiniti models much less when they would be available. LOL, that's not they way to keep a customer interested.

Has anyone been able to get more info from Hypertech regarding the 2013 G37?

I can see where they don't want to put a hard date out there, but not even telling a potential customer weather their model has something coming or not, seems asinine.

I have a used hypertech unit on the way, but my friend has an older G37 so I think he will end up with it. I guess I may as well go for the Uprev even though its more than I need (I may do an intake later but that's about it). This is my first dealing with Hypertech, and I'm not impressed.

Plug the Hypertech in to your car. It will not recognize your ECU, and youll see a message.
Then plug the Hypertech on your computer, after youve installed their software.
It will communicate with them about the ECU number, they will crack that ECU number, and you will get the update in a syncronized download update.

No need to mention its a 2013, there has been no real difference since 2009.

I'm hoping they will get on it ASAP. I had my ECU replaced for a TSB, loved the hypertech tune pre replacement. but now, I can't get it to write over.

I plugged in the Hypertech like you said. It gave me the error message saying the verson was wrong. I then plugged my laptop into the hypertech. I didnt see anything happen.

I then told the Hypertech software on the laptop, to restart the Hypertech via USB. It ran the Hypertech again, and I get the same version error message.

How does it communicate with Hypertech about the ECU number? I didn't see that happening.

It looks like the Hypertech is a decent product and would be be perfect for me since I plan to stay stock, or maybe just add an intake. But, the current product appears to check the car's year before looking for the ECU info.

So, I guess I will sell the Hypertech and get an Uprev.

I want to get the Uprev Standard. I have heard you can get these for $450. Where is the best place to order the Uprev Standard?

Any news on the Hypertech units for 2013 G's? I was using mine on my 2010 but the lease went back in Sept. 2013 and I got a 2013 but it wasn't until the other day that I tried and realized the tuner is no longer supported/compatible. I'm calling them tomorrow so I'll report back :/

No luck or good news from HyperTech The very unhelpful and dull technical service rep said the 2013 models are not supported and he had nothing to offer beyond that. He hinted that in fact the 2013 may be supported in the future but under a new product number, claiming that the data capacity may be close to reached on the current 62005 units since they support all G's since 2003. So in the end i'll give them another month or two for support, if not my unit will be up for here soon for sale.

Any reasoning or experiences to back up that post? Besides the non-support of the latest G models the Hypertech unit performs quite well and greatly improves driveability/throttle response.
