3) Logged and written to someone else's car - unsure of original flash.

Also, on the flashing screen if you hit query ECU nothing on there confirms a corresponding ECU license, just that it has one and that flashing won't consume one.

Not got any info from ECUtek but nothing has ever pointed to the dongle being tied to the ECU. The only reason the dongles are keyed is for locked tunes and the ability to add software features and licenses remotely.
awesome, thanks
