I am on 120 cal, how does ecutek unlock? I thought you have to send the ecu for bench unlock and then use ecutek? I do have Ecutek and license, just need to figure out simpler way for unlocking without sending my ecu.
I have heard rumors that Ecutek will unlock 120 cal.
to clear up confusion. When dealing with Ecutek specifically, the first flash ou do with the software is also called an "unlock". Which is basically just flashing a stock file and allowing Ecutek to burn the flash license to the ECU so to speak.
That is totally different than a bench unlock which is changing ECU code to allow flashing through the OBD2 port. 120 ROM ID are "OBD2 flashing locked". the bench flash changes this. Without getting to deep into the ECU underpinnings, thats is the difference and why Ecutek cannot flash directly on the end user side. On the Tuner side it can.
I have received quotes from $300-$700 for Ecu bench unlock which is outrageous. Why canāt the unlock be part of the tune? Especially the ECUs that can be unlocked.
Is it just me or I feel some type of a way with the support group for Supra?
Unlocks for Ecutek are more because a flash license is used during the unlock procedure. the flash license is several hundred dollars by itself from Ecutek. Of course this cost is passed onto the Owner. and rightfully so.Wow, even if you are buying the software and tune from them itās an extra 300-700 to unlock it?
I was under the impression it wasnāt a very time intensive process. Maybe Iām wrong
thank youtons of people. Justin @ Twisted tuning is a forum member and he can answer those questions more specifically, but everyone who has used them has nothing but good things to say.
see above. for the deskey, the license cant be transferred as far as i know. the person doing the unlock needs to have a loose/unmarried license for the bench unlockThanks!! @Twisted Tuning can you confirm? Iām trying to go with Jeff for the 93 tune. I do have a deskey with 375 points, and would also need a deskey swap.
