Your in a bit of a bind because with no ecutek dealer near by to flash you back a stock ecutek rom, your ging to need to buy a ecutek cable for about $400 and do it your self.

If you spending that then you may as well stay with ecutek, unless you can get to an ecutek tuner and they can flash it to stock for you.

With an ecutek stock rom in the car its unlikely dealer would pick anything as its a srock rom but has ecutek licience info in it. But average dealer does not have facilities to pull roms and analyse they just reflash.

I can pick ecutek stock rom by comparing it to real stock rom with hex editor.

With your current ecutek tuned rom the dealer cannot flash and may notice the auto blip features or map switching ect. or they may assume ecu is stuffed. depends if they are trying to wezzel out of expensive warantee work.

To switch to oft and be able to flash a completly stock rom, your still going to need to get a stock ecutek rom flashed somehow as oft or anything other than ecutek cannot flash your car till that is done.

not sure if you could complain to the car dealer you bought car from or maybe talked to previois owner thay may even have an ecutek cable.

i understand why ecutek lock ecu but it does suck in your situation.
