Finally installed my IE intake manifold to take advantage of my Snow Meth kit that I will tackle next weekend.

I just checked the screenshot from John and Unitronic where I purchased the ecu and that number does match.

Hey guys :) Hoping somebody on this forum might have some insight into what I need to do to solve an issue I have after replacing my stock ECU with a replacement that had an immobilizer defeat performed on it. I have a 2012 MK6 with DSG transmission, and purchased a replacement ECU to install an...

I am in need of a used ECU so that I can get the immobilizer defeat installed to replace my current MED 17.5 ecu that can no longer be written to tune wise. Apparently, I change my tunes so often that I reached a max number of times that the ECU could be programmed, lol. Here is my current ECU...

John from Uni has never seen this happen apparently. Freaking weird. I may be the only person this has happened to :)

I sure had no idea either, and there really isnt concrete info about this anywhere on the web that I have found. Stuck with my Uni tune for now which is a good tune, but I prefer the IE k04 tune.

This does suck for people that like to switch between a crackle IE tune and a non crackle tune every few months or so. Or people that use Stratified and load new revisions 7-9 times. I doubt I have flashed 20 times, but it is very possible within a 3-4 year time span since getting my K04 tune.

Makes complete sense. Never thought about it before, or read it anywhere so I thought I could change between my tunes at will as many times as I wanted :) I guess I need to find a used ECU now to be able to go back to my IE Meth tune after installing the Intake manifold :(

I guess I am just confused as to what could have possibly happened to my ecu to cause it to have to be completely replaced. I have never had any tune related issues or issues flashing over the years. I have had APR, Unitronic, IE, and Stratified tunes for my k04 and now have a faulty ecu...

Last response from IE....

I have tried two different computers as well. I will have to try and get a screenshot of the error when trying to use the Uniconnect tool. The car runs perfectly fine with the current tune file on it, but am stuck using it essentially.

This :)

Long story short, got my car back from a trusted shop down the street to get a water pump replaced along with a new MAP sensor harness. I am currently using a Unitronic K04 tune, and wanted to switch over to my IE K04 tune since I acquired a Stage 2.5 Snow Meth kit. I am unable to change tunes...

The Unitronic dsg tune works great with the Stratified Pro tune that I was using before switching over to my IE k04 tune.

Adding to this older thread. I just swapped over from Unitronic to IE for my k04 tune and I feel that something is not right with the tune when I go even more than half way throttle. There is a very noticeable delay like I am hitting a brick wall feel. The Unitronic k04 was super smooth and tame...
