What features are sacrificed for an ECU tune

[upstateStinger]

Hello everyone!
I finally have a reliable source for high octane fueling so have been tempted to try out an ecu tune. I've heard that they cause the loss of uvo/kia access features. What exactly stops working? Will the map still work? I don't care about the navigation but really like having the map. I think I remember about of the tunes having a cruise control issue. Is that something that I'd lose too?
Also, do all the ecu tunes(lozic, lap3, sxth/bms) disable features? Any other creature comforts an ECU may remove?

Thanks in advance! Hopefully this isn't already answered somewhere. I did search the forum but couldn't find specifics.

I've never heard this question asked before, so it doesn't surprise me that you couldn't find anything. and I've never heard of anyone 'losing features' to get a tune. but what do I know.

Lost of UVO is an old old bug years ago with spare ECU and no need to be worried about anymore. I have more info about those tunes I’d like to share with you in your DM. Not capped out by octane is such a privilege to take advantage of.

with my Lozic tune and swapped instrument cluster I lost the little MPH read out when I go into cruise control... no biggie
