BSR Tiguan TDI tune

[Greg Roles]

Everytime a OEM ECU comes out with better encryption, some aftermarket programmer starts work on cracking it. Interestingly one of the guys I have access to is actually paid by exotic manufacturers to write ECU software for them, and runs his tuning programming on the side. I guess when you write the OEM program, you also know the way back into it! Wouldn't surprise me if this is more widespread, company man by day and aftermarket hacker at night.

Thanks for the kind words, and alerting me to BSR's very cool handheld, I'm always looking for better options.

LOL!
Maybe you can get him to try and access the Audi SQ5 encryption for the Oz model ECU - nothing around yet.
