ECU locked
Hey everyone!
Need some serious help here, recently my friend bought a Cobb AP. He was telling me all theses great things about it and I asked him try it on my car. So he was nice enough to unmarry it from his car and stick it on to my car with a stage 2 map. When he did that, the Cobb AP said that my ECU was locked from a third party. My car was tuned before, but because of some scandal, the tuner lost all the business and closed down. Do you guys know a way to unlock ECU's?
Also, can I do it if I get a OP 2.0? I'm looking into self tuning, but I need to unlock the ECU first.
Thanks, any clues would help!

It definitely wasn't cobb, I would say it's EcuTek. I want to make sure that I am able to get access to it from ECUflash.
I did some research, and another member of this forum had the same issue and other tuners couldnt get access to it.

Someone with more knowledge on the EcuTek stuff will need to chime in. If you have any other EcuTek dealers in the are, they might be of help. Check EcuTek's website to see who authorized dealers in your are are. I would think they have the ability to put stock tune/flash back on the car.

I did bring it back to the dealership when I got my recalls done, and I did ask them to flash it back to stock rom, but question now is how do I know if I am on a Stock rom?
and also if the rom was locked, how did the dealer flash stock rom on my ecu?
Again, thanks for all the input guys.

They probably did not if your ECU is still locked.
