Just curious, you may know something I don't.

Just a thought...
This...

I'll also interested in the method in flashing after the first flash. Since license is Zero not sure the next step in flashing after.

I think he is just making a general statement like "this is awesome!!! you'll be mad if you have to wait."

I like the way you think though.

i'll make a video. the procedure is the same each time. the license count goes from 1 to 0 when it pairs with your ecu. you can flash it unlimited times after that

I don't want to burn a bridge but there are a lot of cool option/features and it just makes the car so much fun!

Plus John really takes care of your personal tune if you get a new mod or what not. A few bad apples have been on here saying his customer service is subpar but it really isn't. He is just a busy guy.

Ps I get nothing if you buy from him so not trying to sell anything for him and I really don't think he needs my help in the sales department lol

Can't wait I am picking up my exhaust tomorrow and should have it installed over the weekend. After the tune I will be done performance mods on my car until I dig deep for a header!

I do get that, and totally agree with you, I just know I won't regret getting it later on, when all features are out, and as bug free as possible


I guess what you meant was "you will regret you didn't get it sooner".

Alright -

I already see where this is going.

Guys stop emailing and PMing me repeatedly for the same shit. Your starting to piss me off. STOP.

Gmookher- I don't care if your Ecu is messed up from a flash from another vendor.

There's a reason I didn't send you a tune file, it wasn't ready.

You will get a tune file from me when I say it's ready for you. You continue to harass me on a daily basis and its laughable that you now want a refund. Not going to happen.

Damn that sucks that right after I tell you guys that he is hard at work making our racerom tunes awesome and working out the bugs that he makes it known he is being harassed.

Guys we all paid a good amount of money, it is understood that everyone wants an update on what is going on which is what I was trying to put out there. He is making our roms awesome and is busy making them bug free.

I am currently runnin a buggy tune and trust me it is better off giving him some space to make your tunes bug free. I test so you guys get perfect tunes (helps that i have three cars and two that can run this software)!

If you have questions that I can answer please direct them towards me and I will answer what I can, otherwise give John some space to get all the bugs out.

/rant

EDIT:And I don't work very hard all day so I will happily answer the questions i can answer and will let you know straight up if i don't know something.

Damn should have had your "other vendor" read the flash instructions John posted for us all to use lol. Sorry had to.

But on the real is your ecu bricked?

Alright just lost my long post ! Grr

No Ecu is not bricked, just pissed off.
Ecutek knows what the problem is and will have updated software tomorrow that will prevent the Ecu going into this state tomorrow. This time next week they will have a another update that will be able to get the Ecu out of this state via obd2.

So just sucks because I flashed this file 10 times yesterday and didn't have any problems. Btw we know why I didn't have problems its but its complicated Ecu stuff...

Anyways any customer that flashed MY flash into there car having a problem gets their Ecu shipped to ecutek overnight on me. I'm also providing a rental car free of charge. Basically all you need to do is provide a proof of payment and ill Paypal you or send bank check ASAP.
