Am I being ripped off?
The LS2 ECU in my Cobra has a unique Corvette tune. It would appear that every time an auto electrician or dyno operator wants to unlock my ECU, I am charged a VCM Suite ECU unlock fee. My ECU has been accessed twice so far by different specialists. The first time, I had to pay a $200 fee.
The second time when I had it on the Dyno left me scratching my head, even though it was with a different specialist.
The car was on the Dyno last week to sort out some shifting problems with the 6 speed Tiptronic and adjust pressures in the transmission solenoids. The ECU Access Fee this time was $360.
Am I being ripped or does this con occur every time that someone accesses my ECU?
I have an LS2 with an identical transmission in my WM HSV Grange. The only difference between it and the Cobra is that the Cobra has had the Corvette tune inserted into it. When a GM Dealer uses his Tech 2 to access my ECU on the Grange, I am not charged a fee.
Can someone please tell me where is the difference here?
