No. This is a hardware level thing which is discussed in this thread. You could have an ECU that does not require bench unlocking, take it to a dealer, they update the ECU and now if you want to tune you'd have to bench unlock. But that is a different matter. This is hardware-level locking. You either have the newer boot-loader 'enabled' ECU or you don't. If you don't, you're a lucky man.

however if you are on the old hardware, you can be updated via software by the dealership. there are solutions for this though. such as preventing the update by telling the dealership to not fucking touch your car... or bench unlocking it after they update it. |

Great news! As for me, I always wait until the warranty is out before making any software updates. Maybe, I'll change my attitude now. Anyway, I think it's better to browse many sources of information where you can find some useful tips. I try to do it when I've any difficult issue. Sometimes, they publish valuable information. My favorite site is https://news.kisspr.com because of the cognitive approach they promote. For example, I've found material about how a woman sold her idea for one billion dollars. I'm sure you'd be able to find some piece of advice related to the issue described in this topic.

I heard in the grapevine that the ECU blockade has been hacked, but I can't share anything more right now.
Hopefully over the next few months we will see the first unlocked ECUs. Of course, I want to see it first before I believe it, but it is good news people are working on it and seem to have a positive outcome. Stay tuned for more... MR |

Chris Harris / Ian Litchfield podcast from last week (or maybe two weeks ago) had a few seconds of Bosch ECU coverage, and Ian appeared to indicate it was just a matter of not too long before something was available... as if he knew something.
