This is the question people that really needs to be answered. In the past, when ecutek was installed on certain subaru ecu's it could not be completely removed. As a result an owner could NOT install another tuning software such as Cobb AP or OS on that ecu. The ONLY solution I'm aware of involves getting a new ecu. I had an Ecutek license for my 04 WRX and fortunately Crawford was able to swap ecu's for me when I wanted to switch to Cobb AP.

I guess since Ecutek will be the first to release their product (as they were with the WRX) they won't know if it any other tuning software can be used on an ecu after a Ecutek tune is "removed". I personally will wait until other tuning options are available to find out if there are any other compatibility issues.
