Service Scope

Unlock access begins with compatibility.

ECU / DME unlock review

We review supported BMW, MINI, and Toyota Supra applications to determine the correct path for reading and writing the factory control unit.

Tuning and calibration inquiries

Tell us your intended outcome and current modifications. Unlocking provides access for supported tuning work; it does not by itself change the calibration.

Mail-in or local service

Many supported modules can be handled by mail. Some applications or states may require the vehicle locally. We confirm the method before you proceed.

Compatibility Details

What to include

  • Vehicle year, make, model, engine, and trim
  • Full 17-character VIN
  • ECU or DME family, if known
  • Hardware, software, or calibration numbers shown by your tool
  • Whether the vehicle or ECU has already been tuned or unlocked
  • Existing modifications and the outcome you want

After the request is reviewed, the shop can ask for secure photos of the ECU label, connectors, or diagnostic screens when needed.
