ECU Reflash Limit
Having an AP, I know that much was made of its RealTime mapping feature, which allows the tuning of the car without having to reflash the ROM on the ECU. This was beneficial because it didn't require the tuner to shut the car off after every change to the tune, and also got around to the supposedly finite number of flashes the ECU could take.
Maybe I've missed it on this forum, but not much is being made of this concern -- is there really only a finite number of reflashes, or was that just more of a marketing bulletpoint? If there is a limit to the number of flashes an ecu can take, what is that limit generally? -JT

It's been discussed into the ground.
Search "ecu flash limit", 8th thread listed with the word "n00b" in the title. |

To answer your question, ECU EEPROMs can be reflashed ~100 times before they're burned out.

One flash is all you get. Then you are on borrowed time.

I was just messing with you. Starting to notice a large number of similar noobs who don't research posts over at Enginuity. Is there some critical mass forum user count that pulls em in?
