I notice that a certain thread has disappeared in the gen3 section, probably because it went off topic a bit.

I was just wondering what EFI's stand point is on the discussion of privateers attempting to hack the seed/ key combinations of locked pcm's?

The reason i ask is because i have a few friends that had their pcm's modified by hptuners software and thus efilive cannot overwrite the pcm.

I'm not interested in reading any existing tune, i just want to overwrite the whole flash, so we can get it to a usable base with efilive.

Sure we *could* pay someone to unlock it, but seeing as i have a bench harness and plenty of time to wait for some software to find the seed & key, well why not.

Perhaps if you guys all ready have a program that can do this, you would be willing to release or sell it to customers and lock it to their V2 Serial number, Thus limiting it's distribution.
