In my internet travels I stumbled upon a new tuning solution for the MPS called Versatune. It uses a J2534 interface to communicate with their software on your computer via the OBDII port, similar to some of the solutions used for Evo and WRX tuning. I couldn't find any mention of it here so thought I'd start a thread.
Their blurb says:
VersaTuner is a full-featured performance engine tuning software toolset. VersaTuner is the all-in-one tool for recording, analyzing, modifying, and monitoring your engine’s performance.
It's currently available for the US Mazdaspeed 6 and EU 6MPS, with beta testing for the US Mazdaspeed 3 and EU 3MPS happening now.
I've asked on their forum if they have looked at the Australian market, and if they need any beta testers here. It could be a great tuning solution for us!
More info is here:

Sign up to their forum and let them know we're interested, so we can see if it will work for us too. I imagine if the EU MPS's work with it then we should be OK.

I've also placed the link to this post on their forum, hopefully they can come here and answer any questions we have. Since we can't use the Cobb AP I can see this taking off over here.
