I have been using it this way for the last few years with no issues.
It never sees the net other than to open emails to get my new files, or to update different tuners programs.
I use this laptop for tuning and VCDS only. I have an old dual-core MacBook Pro that I swapped an SSD in that exclusively runs Windows 10. What I take that to mean is "there's so few safeguards in the flashing utility, that the slightest hiccup can cause the flash to fail, so we recommend you take out as many external variables as you can, like USB-C to USB-A dongles or a fresh install with old/incorrect/no drivers". I would even totally buy it if you said that a non-insignificant number of lightning bolt/USB-C to USB-A adapters you've tested would drop connections while flashing.īut to say that "A real Windows 8 or newer device has a lot more safety built in than a mac running VM or bootcamp or parallels" is just unsubstantiated nonsense.

And not wanting to have to hold someone's hand while they figure out how to install a new operating system - and help them troubleshoot why your software isn't working when they neglected to install the correct drivers - would probably end up costing you more in support than you'd make selling the software. That may have been more of what was available a few years ago as we have been doing remote flashing for a very long time now.Not wanting to spend the resources or having the expertise to write an OSX port of the flashing utility is totally understandable - it would negligibly increase your market while costing a ton. Our owner is a huge mac guy and tried for years to have it be just as safe. From what we have found over the years it is true with our software.
