Oh oh what happened?

draxcaliber

he wants money to tell me according to the post about it. i aint paying any1 a dime were supposed to be a community here, not greedy

kikcaffine

I know how to do it. But I want to hear what happened first.

slow-n-low06

they said the shaft came apart on the inside of the s/c. my scion dealer wont fix it cause they would have to take it apart. this whole s/c experience has just been a bad one for me. and i didnt listen about the header, so trd voided it. im just trying to get the car back to stock so i can sell it

trd is bs on the warrentie you get with the s/c it says puleys, bypass and fuel will void it not headers.

draxcaliber

yes, he did ask for money, he has bills to pay, and to figure out how to do this cost him lots of his precious time, and his precious money too, so if people wanted to know what he figured out and had to do to change back to a stock ecu, he just asked for a donation to help cover the cost of his R&D. so while we are a community, it isn't like he is exploiting you, or we him.

now, however, he does let people know for free, so if you ask him, he will tell you. how is that for a scion community?

I was told by TRD and other TRD techs that once the ECU is flashed with the new software, it cant be undone. I am not surprised if it can be undone, I'd just need to hear of some proof.

Oh it can be undone. There is a toyota factory service manual page on how to rollback the firmware update. Its not terribly difficult to do. I've read it before.

Greedy *LOL* Good luck with getting it back, I asked for a $5 donation if possible as it COST ME MONEY & about a week worth of searching to get that info. Have a good one! Greedy... sheesh *LOL*

draxcaliber

oh so reflash can be undone? thats nice to hear cause what i've heard it cant and quite some people have been buying ecu. Hopefully someone can make a DIY and post it on the tech section.. but if you need to get new ecu you can get used for cheap

The dealer can flash it back, they just have to have the know how. The method I used was to link and and program a used / new ecu to work with your car. So you could grab one from a yard and toss it in the car and have it work.

damn $5? the way he reacted, it seemed like you were asking for a lot more lol.

sorry to hear you're adventure with the s/c is done already..you barely even had it.
