simple question about ecutek
this may be a silly question, is ecutek just a tool that plugs into your ecu, which allows you to modify it, and at the end you're still driving around with your ecu in there, or does it actually replace your ecu?

In case you're not familiar with it, it's also fairly expensive software, and there's a several hundred dollar licensing fee that goes back to the EcuTek company for each ECU that you re-flash with it. That's why it's generally the tuners that have it, and not individual owners.

I can understand having nothing tangible in hand but why would you want to get a tune from one shop and then have an unlock code so that you could bring it to another tuner? Cheers, William T. Knose Jr. Lead Programmer I-Speed USA |

I could see it used for customers that are in the middle of no where and need a new map because modifications have changed.
Found an example of someone that has a problem and could use this solution. Though if the tuner had reprogrammed the ECU correctly from the time it left the shop, this car would not have any problems. http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/showthread.php?t=990335 Cheers, William T.

it would be good if the owner of the vehicle can just take it to any shop/tuner after it has been tuned.... For example what if the car sucks because the tuner didn't tune it correctly? do you think they would actually go back to the same tuner? probably once but that's just to fix the problem.... and most tuners will charge for a retune. so i'd rather have some other tuner that is compitant to do the tune.

If you're just looking to tune the car yourself there are plenty of open source FREE solutions available.
