Aren't all the post 2009 ECU's locked now Rich?
I could be wrong but I know mine was (CR 170 2010 A3).
I think the rule is if it's a tri-core ECU then it will certainly be 'locked'.
That said, I think Alex (AKS) managed to map mine without doing a full break on the lock but I appreciate that's a very high level noddy description :ashamed:

My Scirocco R 2010 was locked. When Regal mapped it for me it was the first that they had done in the country, they had to take the ecu out of the car. their counterparts in Germany connected to it over the internet and I guess they hacked it to bypass the encryption. They also managed to flash it without increasing the flash count which was nice for the old warranty ;). Mind you it took them 8 hours!! Before they took the ecu out, they flashed it, dynod it, turned off the ignition and the ecu reset itself to stock.

R-tech is the way to go, even at that distance.
Fit the Rev G Diverter valve before your map.
HAd mine done at R-tech, went in with just an intake and ran 193bhp and 222ftlb.... left with issues but ran 232bhp and 286ftlbs nik said it was poor and said he thought the turbo was cracked... it turns out my turbo was cracked :sad1: Statllers in sheffield fitted me a new borg warner K03 and all was UNBELIEVABLE. Went to the Charity rolling road day and my car ran 267bhp and 324ftlbs... at stage one!! no other modifications, no fuel additives.
R-tech are in a different league! :happy2:
