does ecutek works with the locked ecu for supra 2020?
Only if we bench unlock. I have the tools to bench unlock for EcuTek.

If you want to send me your ECU I can make this happen. But due to us being in other countries you may be out of a car for 1-2 weeks if customs is slow due to pandemic issues.

yes and no. Need to have a bench unlock performed by someone with a BFlash programmer. Due to the way Ecutek does their licensing, right now the unlock only works with BFlash.

How do I know if it's locked? I have BM3 and I am able to flash any rom. Is this something recent?
Got my Supra on Dec 2019.

Btw, do you know about this flash count limit where you can't flash it anymore?

If you are able to flash now you are fine. Newer production cars have the new update. And some dealers install it. Such as in california. Most the cars sold after Jan seem to have this update.

As for a Max flash count I think I have surpassed 1,000 flashes on my personal car so far. All ecus can wear out after a number of flashes. However mine is still working at 1000+

if you have BM3 already, you can use that to see what ROM you have on there iirc. Connect and read codes. or start the process of flashing, but not actually hitting the button to start the flash. Should be info on ROM ID.

I picked up my Launch Edition in August last year, so I doubt my ECU is locked. I have the recall notice for my rearview camera brightness (although I don't notice any issues). Can I get this recall done and just tell them not to re-flash? Or should I avoid it altogether?

I would avoid it if youre not having issues. you could always tell them not to flash it. doesn't mean they wont.

I'm picking up my Supra tomorrow. I'm assuming the ECU is locked. What are my options as far as flashing/tuning if itā€™s locked? Will any tuning mods work with a locked ECU? BM, JB4, EcuTek or MHD?

JB4 will work.

I can unlock an ecu to use with EcuTek. Removing it takes under 5 minutes. And I do a same day turn around.

Once unlocked can it be locked again by the dealer? Will the dealer alway try to lock the ecu everytime its brought in, even for an oil change?

No, I told them not to flash my car when I got an oil change last week and they didn't. I put a piece of duck tape over the OBD2 port and it was still there.

Good to know, I'll do this and ask to talk to the tech
