None of the existing unlocks are resistant against dealership/ota updates. So the answer is yes - unlock will be removed and you need to send your ECU back again. Last edited by femtoevo; 01-06-2022 at 02:00 PM.. |

ECU only needs to be mailed back if you aren't using EcuTek and tuning the OEM ECU. If you have a cloned ECU, we can do the unlock remotely. No shipping of the ECU required.

No, the ECU needs to go on vacation for a few weeks.

When it's sent in, they read the ecu and can unlock it for you. If you ever want to upgrade to a cloned ecu your original ecu won't need to go back. Quote:
If you are tuning with your original ecu then it will need to go back to Russia for the unlock again. This is normally done at a discounted rate - but shipping is still not cheap |

I know it has been covered a bit, but if you or Marshall could explain how the flex fuel and map switching works it would be appreciated. Are different base tunes still required for the various fuels you use? Let say for example someone switches between 98 and E50 depending on the day / week. I assume they still have to have pre-loaded up a 98 tune and an e50 tune to begin with? If switching from E50 to a 98 blend, would you switch to the 98 tune or just let the flex fuel system adjust the boost / timing as it detects a change in fuel? Still confused about when the flex fuel does its thing vs when you have to physically change maps. Offline maps is a big positive though. While the BM3 system is good I've been caught out a few times due to internet reception issues, server issues and connection issues. |

Granted, you need your tuner to provide a tune that takes advantage of the flex fuel kit. On the Supra I have the Visconti flex fuel kit and it works seamlessly with Ecutek, my tuner (Marin) made it work. If you don't have the flex fuel kit, you may need to flash each time that you want to change blend though. |

very interesting feedback from both ViscontiTuning & femtoevo
i am not in the US but PP Performance already shipped my ECU to femtoevo so it will arrive back hopefully next week or so. I tuned many of my cars with PP Performance and they did an excellent job and they deal directly with femtoevo. however, i need additional ECU to clone it. is it possible to buy directly from you guys at ViscontiTuning another ECU in which you can ship it to me and our friends at PP can clone it locally here? please let me know if you can offer another ECU? |

I had a 2020 M8 tuned by DME in Houston. Also had catless downpipes installed by them. I received an over-the-air software update notice. I thought to myself...great this will be an improvement to various aspects of the car. I was wrong!! Immediately upon approving the update my tune was deleted and I got a check engine light. DME offered to retune the car but I had already decided to sell the car so I took it to the dealer to have oem downpipes installed. I then sold the car. Lesson learned.

You'll need to disable the over-the-air programming after you do tuning. It takes 30 seconds to do in the settings menu on the car. But if your ECU is already up-to-date its not going to immediately attempt to flash back to stock. It should only be looking at the software version, if the software version if out-of-date it'll want to update. We always try and tune using the latest software version to help avoid things like this. John |

I want to run anything from 98 to lets say, E50. The flex fuel kit is installed. In addition to that, do I need a good 98 tune and a good E50 tune - with the flex fuel looking after everything in between? Or do I just need one of those base tunes (presumably the E50 one as it would be more aggressive). |
