Just making this post to help any future owners in the Bay Area who are looking for a bench unlock that's available in the Bay Area. I got my car unlocked earlier today at CarBahn down in San Jose and they charged me an incredibly reasonable $200 for the bench unlock which was done in person at the shop. In comparison I was getting multiple $400+ quotes from shops in the LA area. One hour turnaround time, dropped off the car and they were courteous enough to drop me off at a nearby shopping plaza to grab a quick lunch, as well as pick me back up when the car was ready.

Ask for Chris or David, and mention that Jeff with the Yellow Supra sent you.

Thanks for the info and how long did it take? I might hit them up soon for a bench unlock. Do they sell ecutek? Planning on tuning the car with it.

Took about an hour, was just a bench unlock. They have their own software they sell, and I went MHD route.

Do you happen to know which unlock they use? I've been reading up on ecutek they only accept bflash, anything other than that won't work unfortunately.

Well it's confirm if you guys are going for carbahn to get dme unlock and planning on using ecutek look somewhere else. They use autotuner for bench unlock, it only works for mhd and bootmod3. Wish I did some more research or even ask what software they use from bench unlock that was my bad.
