E38's Being Locked by GM?

[Chalky]

Browsing on a Corvette forum and it is being reported that GM is locking E38s. Supposedly, ecms are getting software upgrades when in for service. Also claims Tech2 will no longer read ecm after upgrade.

Anyone confirm this?

Nope just checked, if anything the security algo changed just like it normally does every year. I put ZERO faith in anything Diablo says, they have been promising T42 support for YEARS now LOL

Thanks for clearing that up.

Well I did get a call about someone having this issue, my guess is one of two things.

1. They decided to change the security algo, highly unlikely because then they cant even flash over them LOL
2. There is an error in the TIS file itself, I've seen this happen. I'm about to play with this on the bench right now.

I wasnt able to replicate the issue using the same hardware # and the same calibration on the bench so we'll see later this week if we can pinpoint whats going on. So far its far from a big deal, stock computers are locked anyhow LOL
