ECUTEK?????

Does anyone know if you have to buy the ECUTEK to program your ecu or can somebody that has the unit, can just reflash it?

The short of it is you do not need to purchase a cable and software to flash the car, the tuner who builds the map can just flash your ECU if that's what you want. Or if someone else owns the cable and software they could flash your car, the map is what is built specific to your vehicle/ECU.

I would be glad to explain the entire process to you if you want to hit me up. I see you are a little confused on the process.
