What would my best options be? My car depended on the disabling of a certain CEL to pass emissions.

No your good as gold at present.


Ecutek updates just stop you creating new tunes on USA ROMs that disable emmissions systems like rear O2 or evap flex kits or evap purge boost control or disabling emmissions codes.


However if you already have working tunes you can still flash those no problem at this time.


So all ok for you till you need to update/ change the current tunes.


However I know some workarounds if you get stuck
