Ecu unlock
Anyone got an estimate on when ecu might get unlocked..? Debating to just send out my ecu to FEMTO. Or waiting it out n doing jb4 in the meantime.
Those of you that have sent out ecu for unlocking hows the process? N overall cost? |

I too questioned the same, but grew impatient and decided to send my ECU out to Femto. I did it with Visconti tuning, very quick, sent it out 23rd of May and got it back on the 31st. Total cost was about $1895, but I chose to pay that rather than dealing with any issues.

even if it does it probably won't be cheaper. for example, a 2019 ZR1 corvette costs 2k to unlock and at least 1000 for the tune. same for 19+ chevy trucks.
10 years ago I could license and tune any ford or gm product for $100...my how times have changed. |

Mike at x-ph (who posted earlier in this thread) has been able to help me in the past with shipments to CA (that were not available from the manufacturer to ship to CA)

Second to the "Pharma-Cartels", no one messes with the "Environmental-Cartel", specially in Cali.

Will the "unlocked" DME go back to its locked state once it goes to the dealership for service? And if so, will Visconti/Femto unlock it again at no cost?

I believe FEMTO now has a location in Finland where they unlock ECUs

Yes, this is covered over and over as well. If the dealer updates, it will get locked. Femto charges a discounted rate for 2nd+ unlock. Pricey route to go for sure.
