Read the thread.
This has already been covered.
EcuTek isn't responsible for losing your motor - EcuTek only provides tools for a car to be programmed. If you didn't have a good tune in your car you could have brought it to your EcuTek tuner or another local EcuTek dealer and had the flash removed.
You also could have bought the flash cable when you got the tune - giving you the ability to put it back to stock.
And so you know - all ECUs in all cars are LOCKED. There is a special handshake called the seed key that's there to prevent people from flashing the ecu - yeah from factory!. EcuTek and Cobb break into the Ecu and reverse engineer everything and write software- giving people the ability to tune.

Just like Cobb, EcuTek locks the ECU when the car is programmed.
The big difference between the two is Cobb has a handheld programer to allow the owner to remove from the car (unmarry).
EcuTek has always had a cable available for sale to serve the same purpose as Cobbs hand held - it was however very expensive so no one every bought it.
This is where EcuTek's pricing change has come in.
There's a new cable, new price - dealers like myself will be selling staged packages to go with the cable.
For those of you that want to do self tuning - they will have that as well.
Pro Tuning support for BRZ will come first, then user tuning.
