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. |
Hi Jon,
I was on my phone.
I had huge problems with Ecutek with their rom file itself. Triggering cel's, taking out crusie control for over a year I battled with this. I had to talk with Ecutek directly in the UK about it.
The software for the delta dash sucks. It crashed a lot. Having being able to change maps, It still did not work. And Ecutek locked the ecu's so you could not reflash them with Cobb or OS tuning. Bitch move on their part.
Next, While I really do respect your work. I know a lot of vendors are trying to jump on the hottest ticket before anyone else does. I am sure you can tune just fine. But for the rest of the world. Ecutek dealer support sucks balls. I had two motors blown over ecutek. By some big name brand tuners. I do not plan on having anymore.
It will also take more time to tune on a dyno unless they have live tuning now. So anyone should expect to pay for for a tune.
Are they still locking the ecu's down so you can remove Ecutek in the future?
How quickly are they going to update the rom files? And if a customer has a problem with the file. Not the tune. How quickly are they going to address it?
B.T.W. I hated Cobb from the get go with their ecu locking. But after Ecutek and OS, I had to bite the bullet, I now run Cobb AP/SD
I really think if Ecutek is going to get out of where they have placed themselfs, They need to start with open tuning to show how open they are to the "new" world!
