Fetmo Unlock question

[Supra Jr.]

Going to be unlocking my 22 Supra ecu very soon and I thought of something that gave me pause. Now I never go to a dealership for anything and I'm lucky to have a great Euro shop in my neighborhood to work on my car if needed BUT it just hit me that what would happen if they ever come out with a serious recall on this car or if you need to take the supra in if say something like a electric problem happens or some small problems happen in the car that would still be covered in this car even with unlocking the ecu?? How do you go to a dealership and make sure they don't re lock your ecu and you waste $2,000?? What have all you ecu unlocked guy's done if this happens, cause this could be a major problem. I understand losing my warranty but I don't want to be afraid to drop off my car incase of a recall or small covered repairs.

They sell locks that you can put over the ODB port, as well as you could speak to your service advisor before hand.

I think most people just don't take their cars to a Toyota dealer if it needs work. Either do the work themselves or take it to a shop that knows what they're doing.

Don't want to go to a dealership ever but like I said just incase of an important recall or if something goes wrong under warranty I don't want to pay out of pocket if the dealership could fix for free.

You won’t need to do the clone again.. you’ll just need to pay for another bench unlock

I'm not doing a clone to begin with I'm doing an unlock

I always say this if people say anything about warranty......dont modify your vehicle.

I'd rather die as a result of recall than go back to a dealer for anything.

I have a 4/20 DME, how much does a bench unlock cost? I am still undecided if I am going to tune car. I might even sell it.

If your unlocked ECU gets a software update, you go back to being locked.
