Typical cost / time to unlock a locked G31 ECU
Just trying to do a bit of a process check here.
Maybe I'm wrong, but I thought I'd read that getting a locked ECU unlocked was a 2-3 week process and cost something like $1,500? Or am I way off? Asking because I was quoted something quite different from a tuning shop. Just trying to figure out what's what? |

The tuning shop you got quoted by likely doesn't realize your ECU / ECM is locked. |

The $1500 and 2 to 3 weeks is about right to have the ECU removed and shipped out to be unlocked. The last paragraph, he states that the information from his tuner is quite different. So either you are correct and he was quoted something much cheaper because they think they can do a bench unlock at their shop or he's saying he was quoted something considerably higher which means the tuning shop wants more profit to ship out for ECU unlock. So if he was quoted much less than 1500, you're correct they don't realize he is an LCI. If it's considerably more than $1500, it's to get his ECU shipped out unlocked and they just want more profit than what he's expecting. Either way I apologize, you were just trying to help the OP. |

That sounded pretty out of whack to me. CLARIFICATION: upon further email exchange, the $4,000 covers unlocking AND tuning . . .so call it $2,500 for a tune. Definitely less of a price gouge after that clarification. Last edited by dhodory; 08-10-2022 at 07:22 AM.. Reason: Clarification |

Unlock only.
I took it to mean: "F*ck off, we're not interested in your business." type of quote. Which is a shame, but hey, that's their right. They can quote however they'd like to whomever they'd like. It's their business. And no, I'm not going to share their name. I didn't come here to trash any specific tuner. I'll just keep looking and will take my business elsewhere.
