My programmer for my other vehicles just needs the chunk of hardware, then burns in the new data for whatever set-up you have (heads/cam, exhaust, tire sizes, tranny, etc.), even your VIN.

The idea being able to swap out the stock ECU if you need a dealer visit

Is that possible on these ECUs?

Thanks for all the info ...
This is exactly what I'm trying to do, so I don't have to go to the dealer with a modified ECU. Are you the one bidding against me on e-bay?
