	Swapping ecu files L to M box. « on: September 10, 2016, 01:39:25 PM »

I want to flash from a 4B0 907 551 L file to a 8D0 907 551 M file. The ecu has a GIAC tune on in. Can I change the ecu files without effecting the tune? Are there any specific steps I have to go through to retain the tune while flashing the different file. I know both are 1024kb ecu's and should be interchangeable. I have been searching for a answer for a few hours and the search function gods have not shined on me.

The file is the tune.

Sorry, I didn't structure my question properly. Can I alter the information switching the box from the 4B0 907 551 L to the 8D0 907 551 M box file since this ecu already has a GIAC tune on it.

No. GIAC moves and encrypts the maps that they alter, and put bogus values in recognizable map locations.

So essentially contact a GIAC tuner and have them swap it.
