You and others, I’ve been waiting as well. So far the reputable ones are only available for 2016 or older models. I unfortunately can’t, nor do I want to, remove my ECU to send it off for bench programming. So, I will continue to wait, or trade it for another vehicle in the coming years.

I was hoping for RR racing to support the later models with their handheld tuner. I currently have the stock intake on mine, it’s a luxury model. My plans were to upgrade to their carbon intake when I bought their tuner. To no avail though, I’ve got neither. Maybe someday, sooner rather than later, they will be able to support this, but if not like stated earlier, I’ll just trade it in or buy another. Couple more years and this one will be paid for and hoping after the next generation comes out it’ll be just as nice. If so, I’ll opt for the sport model and skip the tuning. At the time of purchase, I was itching for one and couldn’t wait, but I knew I wanted the awd. There wasn’t a 350 awd in the state, Fsport or otherwise, so I purchased the 300 awd, the only Fsports available at the time were 200t’s, and I wasn’t feeling a turbo 4 for long term ownership. So, that’s what I’ve got, not regretting the decision, I love the car, but if I had waited for a 350, I likely would’ve never bought one.

Many models, including Mercedes, McLarens, Ferraris, etc are only bench programmable and don’t have plug and play option.
That said, we are working to add the handheld OBD zorogrammer functionality to 17/18 models.

Believe you me, if I could go without my vehicle for the time I’d definitely send it in to you guys. I want nothing more than to have that extra power, like that of the 350. Unfortunately though, it’s a daily driver and I can’t go with out. If ever I get another vehicle and can do without, I will be sending it to you guys, just because your reputation supersedes any other programmers out there.

AWD or RWD? If its the RWD then you have the 2.0 turbo and Burger Tuning has the best plug and play system available.

The OP didn't specify on the 2018 IS300. AWD has the V6 and RWD came with the 2.0 turbo.
