Am I right in assuming that if we buy the cable, we can make a backup of our stock ECU so we can revert to stock at any time?

If a tuner uses their software/cable to write my ECU, can I use MY cable to revert to stock?

Can I use MY cable to back up a pro-tuner's custom tune so that I can re-apply it if I have to revert to stock for servicing?

After receiving a tune via ECUTek's software, will a standardized OBD-II data logger still work?

If not, will ECUTek provide free logger software that can save files in a common format (CSV file)?

Thank you.
Yes, yes , yes and yes

Some of the ecutek data logging is custom features that might not work with a generic data logger - but there is ton of oem stuff to log.

If you purchase the ecutek cable you can do a lot.

Backing up your ProTuner map can be done but will only be able to go back into your car- not another one.

Hope that helps
