Purchasing EcuTek Question

I found someone who is selling an Ecutek that they bought for there 2015 WRX only used it for a week then changed Cobb AP.

Ad says "2015 WRX ECUTEK-01 Programmer Comes with everything you need. Unmarried and comes with license usb stick."

Will this work for my FRS? After I get it, do I just find a tuner to do a custom tune and/or purchase one from a vendor?

Thanks to anyone who can answer these questions.

You're gonna need a new licence, licences are 1 time use.

Ahh okay. Where do you think the best place is to purchase a whole setup?

I can't really help you on that one, I bought my ECUTEK cable and dongle from ebay and then bought a licence from visconti. I tuned my car myself, so I can't really suggest any online tuners.

My plan was to find a local tuner with a dyno. You answered my question perfectly. Many thanks

If you dont want to log and flash yourself no need to buy cable\dongle the local ecutek tuner can provide tune licience and flash it with their cable, saves you cost of cable\dongle
