So anybody that has femto experience.

I sent my ecu off and they received it today. I get an alert that it’s complete and on its way back. Beside the message it says this- “Old ecu, can be unlocked using bench tools. NOT UNLOCKED” I have a a 2022 with a 21 date code ecu. Why would this have happened? Thank you

Unlock type (bench vs FEMTO) is not about a date, but the security version (ECUSECUSERV) in the engine computer.

what does your tuning apps unlock check say?

So is it possible that MY24 can be bench unlocked?

This is bizarre. First 2022 I've ever heard of not needing femto

This just doesn’t make sense. I’m wondering if they mixed up mine
ith another.

Totally possible. Femto sent my ECU back locked... So there's that. I put a label on my ECU w/ my vin so I 100% knew it was mine.
Ask them about it - They were very quick to admit they messed up.

And I also wrote my vin and name and ecu type on it as well. I am dumbfounded. There is no way my ecu is just a pre 2020 that’s crazy. Did they pay for shipping back and fourth for you because I’m already out 400 just in shipping

Did the ROM ID end in 3GM?

"what could go wrong sending my ECU halfway across the world for some company to do sketchy things to?" ?

I used Visconti - so he took care of everything. I'm sure they did something for him.
