This is no more complicated then sending a cell phone picture of a receipt. It is a completely painless and easy process that takes us all of two minutes to do and is turned around within a business day. I'm not sure why you had such a tough time with it but we have done it dozens of times without any issues.

Also lets not forget the countless people whose tunes we updated when we had the new revision before the local Subaru dealer. Unless there updating the firmware on a component aside from the main engine controller (i.e. ABS module which isn't locked anyway), there is no need to go to the dealer to get an ECU update when you use EcuTek.
Mike do you know if there are instructions on how to flash back to factory setting?
