Hmmmm....looks like I'm going to be in the same boat when I go to flash my ECU for it's Harrop base tune. I guess I need to contact Dynosty where I purchased the license, cable and dongle for my car. I also noticed in the EcuTek software on my PC that there weren't any flash points loaded onto my dongle, but I was putting this off for the time being until I was ready to install my supercharger.

So if we ordered the FR-S/BRZ/86 Tuning Package (that is advertised as FREE with purchase of the EcuTek hardware and license), are we still required to purchase and use flash points every time we want to flash an entirely new tune, or even make an adjustment to an existing tune?

That part has me confused, and I couldn't find anything on Dynosty or EcuTek's websites explaining the flash point requirements for the (free?) software in simple terms.

I do understand that the RaceRom package is a separate purchase from the package that I purchased, but do I also need to use flash points to flash the RaceRom as well? Sorry, for the questions, but this is very confusing.
