Title: flashing concerns Post by: dilly on February 08, 2019, 04:22:47 PM to anyone that knows
if i were to get an ecu/car with a tune on it already, and perhaps that tune is "read locked" or whatever you want to call it, can i boot mode read it to have that as a back up file and reflash it later possibly without issues? not really sure how it works and no i am not looking to rip an off the shelf tune to give to others. it is only for my ecu and mine only for dev purposes of creating a new file and always having a working/running file to fall back to. thank you Title: Re: flashing concerns Post by: vwaudiguy on February 08, 2019, 10:58:58 PM Might help to know which ecu you're talking about. Could also just get a spare ecu and immo off.

Could also just get a spare ecu and immo off. i am not concerned about the immo at all objective is to not buy a spare ecu. that's why i posted otherwise this topic wouldn't exist i am only asking if you bootmode read a locked file can you flash it again without a problem? either obd or bootmode write to the same ecu, not another ecu with same part #'s. for theory sake say it is a m box Title: Re: flashing concerns Post by: vwaudiguy on February 09, 2019, 03:26:08 PM The question(s) you're asking 100% depend on what ecu, and in most cases, which tuner. It's sort of like asking a contractor "how much to build me a house".

It's sort of like asking a contractor "how much to build me a house". all do respect why does it matter what tuner or ecu? i am not trying to flash the ripped request upload disabled file onto another ecu. all i want to do is back it up cause it is a known working file for that car. so if i dont like the file i make i can go back to the known working one.for a fyi also ecu number is undetermined due to the fact i am looking at vehicles to buy. due to most of them being tuned and i am assuming via off the shelf software i would like to eventually due my own file Title: Re: flashing concerns Post by: nyet on February 10, 2019, 06:49:10 PM all do respect why does it matter what tuner or ecu? Do want an accurate answer or not? Because it depends. Title: Re: flashing concerns Post by: dilly on February 10, 2019, 10:00:13 PM Do want an accurate answer or not?

is the eeprom stock? If you can't answer the latter, you're going to have to provide the name of the tuner. Either way, considering the availability of community tunes for the M (I assume you mean 2.7t) I don't see that preserving the tune has any value whatsoever.

If you can't answer the latter, you're going to have to provide the name of the tuner. Either way, considering the availability of community tunes for the M (I assume you mean 2.7t) I don't see that preserving the tune has any value whatsoever. because i dont see the point of looks for a riser. obviously a valid reason to add a riser and yes i know the community files are easily at the ready. but whole point of my reason is to have a back up that works for a fallback just in case something doesn't work out correctly thanks for the insight, i am learning keep hitting me with the facts |
