Unlocking the original pcm vs buying unlocked pcm

Direct Connection laying out parts to get your Hellcat into the 9s and keep the warranty.

Just buy the Mopar stuff when its available and go with that.
I wouldn't worry about the code if it still maintains factory warranty.

Interesting thought. I wanted to run a flexfuel tune. And HP Tuners seems to have really good Datalogging software.

P1400 is "aftermarket calibration detected" that code will certainly void the warranty.

Except the Demon ECU also flashed this code.

Anytime the ECU is swapped it will trigger the code unless its been disabled. Why dodge didn't disable the code for the create ecu I have no idea

@white1 the in house unlock equipment you bought are you going to be able to unlock 18+ for hp tuners?

Yes. The only 18+ we've done so far is for a 21 TRX, but should be doing one for a hellcat durango this evening

If those are all patch jobs.... ouch.

Have to ask the manufacturer of the PCM. They all look like that when the cover is removed

There is a small component there you attach to in order to read the ECU you first read everything, make the require modifications to the code and upload the new code

A acquaintance of mine is trying to buy a PCM at the moment and can’t find one. Are they hard to get at the moment? Or is he just looking at the wrong vendors? His car is a 2015 out of warranty and I told him to just unlock the stock one but he doesn’t want to.

I have a 15 unlocked pcm $200

 

[16GoManGoHC2]

I have a 15 unlocked pcm $200

I’ll contact him today and see if he still wants it thank you very much

 

[covidcommander]

I have a 15 unlocked pcm $200

For a 2020 I'm guessing I would need a 2020 pcm?

Can you upload a better picture of the board and Ramen noodles?

 

[16GoManGoHC2]

2015 won’t work in a 2020

 

[16GoManGoHC2]

Chuck I’ll take that PCM I’ll PM you thank you very much

2015 won’t work in a 2020

Is there a year range or a 2020 needs a 2020 pcm?

I think 2018 and up, I know the 15 and 16’s won’t work.
