Some processors support protection. PPC comes to mind. Not so sure nor confident about the ST10. If you really wanted to lock someone out you'd do this and re-implement the flash loader to take an encrypted bin. Unfortunately OEMs are starting to take advantage of protections like this.

Nobody here (myself included) makes tunes so amazingly amazing that they warrant protection, IMO

The VW emissions farce may change this.

Please do not ask me for tunes. I'm here to help people make their own.

Do not PM me technical questions! Please, ask all questions on the forums! Doing so will ensure the next person with the same issue gets the opportunity to learn from your ex

I think the ME7xxx series of stuff is old enough that the market is sufficiently saturated. Now if you had a good tune for a ME17 late model car, that would be worth protecting. Most often companies approach me to have intellectual property developed and protected against competitors. Patching roms to add new features previously not available in the stock strategy is really where its at and these sorts of things are more worth protecting.

Tell that to JHM, apparently their tunes are so amazing that their sales people can't even tell you which kind of parameters they calibrated, you know, 'blah blah blah... intellectual property... blah blah blah...  Roll Eyes
