Plug & Play Flash Modules
 

I've owned a Hyundai Genesis Coupe 2.0T and 2012 Mustang GT and both had plug 'n play flash modules available. PowerAxel manufactures the module for Hyundai vehicles and SCT/Bama Tuning for the Mustangs. I don't know if any of you are familiar with those devices, but it would be great to get one for the BRZ/FR-S.

You simply plug it into the OBD port and load a particular tune, while still having the option to set the ECU back to stock settings.

Has anyone heard anything on a product like this for our cars?

An Accessport from COBB is what we would use, if they made one, but I dont believe they are.

Dont take my word for it.

But i though you could copy the stock map, and save it for a later use with ecutek.
Also i think you can save up to 4 maps on it to switch between.

You are correct, you can do that with your ecutek cable.

Yes, with EcuTek you can but it's not as easy to use like what OP mentioned or AccessPort.

What's the method for backing up the stock ECU Flash using ECUTek?

I had a genesis and was looking for the same thing... plug and play

I'm hope something like that is coming. All we have so far is ecutek and unichip. Which isn't too bad considering this a new car that's been out less than a year.

You don't really "back up" the stock rom with EcuTek, but you can flash in a stock rom at any time.. just need to know which rom was in your ecu before you flashed in an tuned map.

OK yeah that I knew. I had heard someone else mention they could back up the stock flash with ECUTek so I thought I'd ask because I wanted to get the latest flash that the dealers were using after that TSB Recall and I only had the stock ROM provided to me prior to that. After I asked this question, I have since received the correct stock flash.

You can backup the stock rom with ecutek if you so desire. just use the read rom feature.

I did not see any read rom feature on my EcuTek software. Perhaps the Tuner version of the software allows you to do that.

I don't have mine handy but i could have swore it was on the same page that you program the ECU from. Perhaps you have to query it first. Either way, anyone you buy a tune from will supply you with the OEM rom, so it's not really an issue.

Yeah I don't think on the base user software there is a read rom function...but you can flash with the base rom.
