I think this would be VERY useful. I know I'd reference it, and tell others to use it too!

Yes there are always two sides to every story. Good point! I'd love for the tuning shop to get on here, identify themselves, explain their side of the story and confirm that they lock tunes and don't release passwords. Perhaps if they did this and explained their honest reasons for doing this it might make more sense to us all. Hmmm...... What do you think the chances of this happening are? Wouldn't you prefer to know if the workshop is going to lock your tune or not before you pay them the cash?

It's logical so long as ownership of the tune is firstly agreed upon. If you have commissioned someone to build you something, especially when charged an hourly rate I think that the client has ownership unless otherwise specifically stated. This means that the owner has the choice whether to share their tune with someone else or not. Who would let a workshop tune their car if they knew they, or another workshop later on couldn't view it. Either to enhance or edit the tune (because of an additional mod to the car), or to check if the orginal tune was the reason their car blew up?

Anyone had any experience with this? I took my car to a tuner with some issues. They told me they were unable to view the tune in the aftermarket ECU as it had been locked by the previous tuner. The guy who had the car before me and had the ECU installed and tuned told me he wasn't informed it was going to be locked. I asked the previous tuner for the password and they told me they wouldn't be releasing it. NO MATTER WHAT! My only choice was to go back to the original tuner to have the tune adjusted, or to start a tune again from scratch which means extra time on a dyno. I personally question the ethics and anti-competitive behaviour of this. Plus if your car blows up from an unsafe tune noone but the tuning garage can access it..... This means they have totally removed themselves from all tuning accountability. I figure that $150 to $200 per hour (sometimes more) entitles me to own the tune a tuner puts in my car as at this hourly rate I am paying for both their equipment and knowledge. Similar to a small business owning the intellectual property of customised software they've had a programmer build (at a similar hourly rate). The original tuner has said that they inform all customers that they password protect their tuning. I question this..... If it is all out in the open lets get a register of tuners that lock and don't lock your ECUs on you. ALSO IF YOU ARE HAVING YOUR CAR TUNED, MAKE SURE YOU CONFIRM WHETHER THEY ARE GOING TO LOCK YOUR ECU ON YOU. ANYONE HAD ANY SIMILAR EXPERIENCES? OR KNOW OF SHOPS THAT LOCK ECUs?
