Flashing EcuTek over BrzEdit
BrzEdit has been giving me a lot of grief. I'm thinking of switching over to EcuTek.
There are still a few things I want to try with BrzEdit, but I'm keeping my options open. Before I buy the EcuTek license, I'd like to know if I might experience any issues with flashing an ECUTek map onto an ECU with a brzedit map? Or potentially any other issues... |

Brzedit completely disables the ecu read process (by changing the seed-key algorithm I believe). This means that you must first flash the brzedit 'stock' rom before you can connect and flash with anything else, including ecutek.

Or is there an actual option in the software to revert to stock? |

Sweet! Thank you all for your help.
One more potential issue. I've read that the stock rom is different between countries. (Namely Australia and the US.) This seems bizarre to me since it's literally the same car. Is there a place I can find a repository of stock roms (for each country)? |

Nope... Epifan just sent me an email with links to all the roms. I think I have all of them. Pm me your email and I'll see if I have yours.

I know it's probably not relevant. But flashing with BRZEdit over an EcuTek tune and you lose your EcuTek licence.
This happened to me and the Australian EcuTek distributor wouldn't give me a new one. It's probably in the T&Cs but I paid good money for that damn licence and now that I can tune with EcuTek I'd like it back. |
