Also lets not forget the countless people whose tunes we updated when we had the new revision before the local Subaru dealer. Unless there updating the firmware on a component aside from the main engine controller (i.e. ABS module which isn't locked anyway), there is no need to go to the dealer to get an ECU update when you use EcuTek. |

Is the car warrantied still? Tell the dealer the car is doing weird things when you downshift and maybe theyll replace your ECU for you and you'll be back to stock.

i am sure each ecutek licience number is unique so if yu get a cable or take it to ecutek tuner you can read the ecutek licience info from your ecu so you wont need doco.

Did you buy it from the Scion dealer? If so, then you shoudl take it back and complain profusely that they gave you a car with a non-factory tune on it. If you can get them to admit it was their mistake, then they would have to fix it. And would probably extend your warranty instead of putting it in your record as a negative thing if they were to discover it later. |

Because in your OP you stated you wanted an OFT. You can't put thenOFT on an ECUTek locked tune, so we have you the advice to complain to the dealer that you've got some funky ECU mods that they should remove by reflashing or replacing the ECU. If, on the other hand, you actually want to keep ECUTek, then just buy the cable/dongle and a tune as the ECUTek tuners suggest. I thought you needed the dongle associated to the license on the car, I guess not. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Glad you mentioned that. With an EcuTek cable, you can connect and grab the license info from the ECU. Take a photo or screen capture. No visit to an EcuTek dealer needed. That would be the documentation you need to replace the license if lost.

They are independent of each other. The dongle is just the software license for the laptop/computer enabling ProECU to run. You can key tunes to a specific dongle ID so they can't be shared and viewed by another dongle, but the license for the ECU just allows it to be flashed & logged by any laptop running ProECU.

How about we put out a call to all twin owners in the OP's area and see if we can't help him out. Find the right file to reload and send him on his way.
I'm in Savannah, a little far, by if needed I'll grab the cable and my laptop and go on up. I'm sure there is someone closer though. Let's help a guy out. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
