Each ECU is different, so always refer to our guide for supported methods.
For unlocks that support Bench, the AutoTuner Tool is guaranteed to be compatible.

We need to protect the unlock method. Once it's known the unlock can get patched by the manufacturer and then everyone's locked out again. Secondarily, since this unlock method isn't really known, we have to take steps to protect the work.
