This is 100% why I just pulled the trigger on this. Ask @ColonelAdama , I’ve been trying to get this answer for 6+ months. I was looking at autotuner, but you have to go in/send your DME to a licensed place every single relock (for smog), Armen said he only charged 50% for re-unlock, but now I’m...
The m-link will fully unlock it and keep unlocking it at home also. This is exactly why I have looked into all of this. The Femto is $200 plus shipping there & back + insurance. The MHD local unlocked is $300+. The m-link is the same price and no shipping/removing/worrying about DME getting lost...
Thank you. I bought there pack just in case, but have my own portable as well, figured $20 for just in case.
They already shipped mine, bought the 2 needed MHD licenses as well and pulled my stock files off the DME using MHD already.
I’m still trying to figure out your supposed fuel starvation issue at stock levels you keep talking about. Then you said you’ve never taken it on a track. WHAT THE ACTUAL HELL?
I’m running close to 500 hp with E45 and I’ve never seen my car have fuel starvation issues. Want to talk about...
From everything I’ve asked, put together and read, once you reflash back to stock using your own image, the CVN & CID is the original.
From what razorlab posted before, once he put MHD (or whichever tuning software) this is when the CVN & CID numbers changed. The unlock itself doesn’t change...
Armin Hohvn (he now unlocks using autotuner and also does remote coding) confirmed if you have the original file, it will rewrite with the stock CVN CID numbers. So, with your confirmation that this will allow you to download and save the original stock file as a pure image (aka identical...
Appears this works, can backup your original file (according to the post above) even if that costs a little extra, that is peace of mind every 2 years and $0 out of pocket costs ever again.
This, this is exactly what I’ve been looking for. If it’s capable of backing up the original file (and saving that mofo to 20 different hard drives). True story, had 3 computers, all in a raid backup configuration (every hard drive mirrored), left on deployment, Hurricane Katrina rolls in a few...
Lynne can pull your actual file so you can save the stock one, thus allowing you to revert back to full stock for small purposes if you needed it. If not, this is Ware auto tuner and FM two might be a little better for people that have to have the stock DME.
Glad it all worked out. I hope I wasn’t too harsh, but I’ve seen dealerships try and deny warranty work because someone’s “been in here” and potentially caused it. I didn’t want to see you get screwed over. Happy they were able to fix it. Have a great day!
@ColonelAdama some information for you and your clients. I will let some of the dust settle and get 1st hand knowledge, but looks like this works. Let me know if your clients have the same experience.
Let us know how it works. I have a 2022 also, live in Komiefornia, so therefore need a way to flash back to stock, lock the ECU, smog it, then unlock it again and flash the previous tune. I’m not keen to have to go somewhere or pay someone for the rest of the life of the car to keep locking and...
Why are you doing all of this, unless it’s something you did messing with it that caused it, if it’s under warranty? What is actually wrong with people, that’s rhetorical.
The more you mess with something under warranty, the greater chance warranty work is denied because you dicked with it...
So, to finish this lovely afternoon finale hour, lol, of the “cheaper” versions that appear decent versus the more expensive counterparts, which manifold do we recommend for mainly drag versus recommend for circuit at this point giving value to dollar. @razorlab @omfgzilla
I’m all for saving money when you can, but a $3,000 extra manifold versus a $20,000 block and rebuild is not a place I would personally try saving at, without imperial data showing me there’s no difference on multiple hot lap tests.
