Remote unlock

Q: The process takes a long time

This is false . We use UPS Next Day Air shipments to and from our location in Auburn, Alabama in the USA. When the ECU shows up, we typically have it programmed and out the door the same day. Rest assured we do everything to make the process as fast as possible.

Q: If the carrier loses the ECU, I have no recourse

This is false . Each shipment under Remote Unlock is insured for its declared value. Furthermore, the loss rate at UPS is below 0.01%, making this shipping method very reliable.

Q: All future updates will require a Remote Unlock

This is false . We have already proven otherwise. Our teams evaluate case by case, depending on the ECU type, its architecture, and long-term strategy.

Q: I will have to pay customs fees that will double the price of the Remote Unlock

This is false . Remote Unlock is a service that can be assimilated to a repair. For this reason, we have implemented a simplified UPS procedure that, with the proper documentation, avoids import fees. Furthermore if you're in the USA, you ECU never leaves the country!

Remote Unlock

by AutoTuner

AutoTuner gives you access to previously unreachable ECUs through a simplified procedure and controlled timelines.

Remote Unlock is not a barrier but an opportunity.

Objectives of Remote Unlock:

LONGEVITY

Preserve the longevity of the Tool and your business: the more opaque the internal workings, the less quickly manufacturers can react with patches or blocks.

SECURITY

Secure our solution: by preventing the spread of sensitive information and keeping the core process under control, we protect our technology from copying.

VALUATION

Value our R&D work: Remote Unlock protects our research efforts, allowing us to continue providing relevant and sustainable improvements.

Step-by-step process

We know that this process requires some organization and can generate some inertia in your activity.

That's why we designed a complete logistics solution to support you from A to Z and limit frictions.

Here is the detailed flow of a Remote Unlock with AutoTuner.

How it works

Identification (OBD or Bench)

The process begins with identification, via OBD or Bench depending on the ECU concerned. At this stage, the need for a Remote Unlock is clearly indicated. No ambiguity: if an unlock is required, the AutoTuner interface will alert you.

How it works

Purchase the Remote Unlock

Buy your Remote Unlock service directly on our website.

How it works

Disassembly and opening of the ECU

Once the need is confirmed, you must proceed with disassembly and opening (if required). We provide detailed resources to help you in this step: video tutorials, diagrams, technical tips… everything is designed to make the operation easier, even if you are not used to it.

How it works

Shipment to AutoTuner USA

Shipping is simplified to the maximum. We provide a pre-filled UPS Next Day Air labels for shipment. Just box it up and drop it off at any UPS Access Point.

How it works

Remote Unlock procedure

This is when our technical team intervenes. The method used is deliberately confidential. Why this level of secrecy? Simply because this guarantees the effectiveness and longevity of our solution.

How it works

ECU return

Once the Unlock is completed, the ECU is returned via UPS Next Day Air. We don’t joke about timelines.

How it works

Reassembly and finalization

Upon receipt, you just have to reinstall the ECU in the vehicle and continue your work.

The Unlock only works with AT tools

This depends on the mode. Bench mode is limited to AutoTuner Tools, but OBD is unlocked to all. Of course, we can't guarantee every tool will work, but we're not specifically doing anything to lock anyone out.
