Would this be a program you would contribute to the open source work on here, or would it be purchased, or would the ECU be sent to you for unlocking?
I have purchased an ECU off a JDM IX GSR which should arrive at a similar time to my cable, so then we can get cracking on the JDM/UK ROMs as long as it will read/write the flash with the mismatched immobiliser code. If I had a way of querying the immobiliser to work out the 2 byte immobiliser code that needs to go into the ECU, then I could have two ECUs to start my car with.
Still getting from prototype into production but the "XFlash" will be a physical device which will store and flash into the ECU, ROM images that you load into it. That means you can load a standard file or any other files into the unit and swap between them. When the unit first hooks up to the car/ECU it will read out the original program and keep that in the "XFlash" as a base which can also be loaded like any other file made with the OpenECU editing tools. We're just tying up some details with Colby at the moment to try and make this as user friendly to tuner and novice alike. It's the sort of device that can just live in the glove compartment of the car to swap files without a laptop if needed. It can also be loaded with files by a tuner who can send it out to a remote location for a novice to load in new tunes without detailed ECU editing knowledge.
