Please note: In very rare cases, the unlock may not be possible due to the software version on your ECU. Unfortunately, this can only be determined during the unlocking process. If this happens, you will receive a full refund for the unlock service – however, shipping costs are not refundable.

Flashing

After the unlock, you can flash the software to the ECU via OBD2-Port or OBD-Bench setup using the CAN-BUS.
You will need our KM eFlash dongle or a J2534-compatible interface, such as the Tactrix Openport 2.0 or Scanmatic.
The required Windows software and license will be provided free of charge as part of the unlock service.
