Now that bricked ECUs can be repaired, its not so scary to mess with the beta versions, but anyone messing around with the beta version should be aware that Tactrix is going on vacation for a while starting at the end of this month. If you brick your ECU during their vacation, you'll be without a working ECU until they start up shop again.

Yep. Beta is for beta testers only, if you somehow get the beta and "brick" your ECU then Tactrix can fix it for you for a fee.

At least that's what I get out of the thread in regards to the beta. Most of the rest is the usual squabbling and "looking down their noses" at each other of the vendors on these forums.

90% of the Known people who have obtained the beta "unofficially" bricked their ecu. That is why its not a public release yet.

No one is looking down their noses @ anyone.
Beta testers are people who can contribute to the project thru testing and development. Colby chose certain people because they are good at what they do, whether it be Tuning (razorlab) or Rom dis assembly (sic, gunzo, mrfred).

I know people are impatient, i also know that given the track record of noobs with this software (in its current state) that 50% will brick the ecu on the first try. Colby doesn't want that so, it wont be officially released untill its stable or has recovery.

Keyword is KNOWN. But those unknown who weren't stupid I'm sure the number is the same. I bet the number of successful flashes by unknown users was much higher and failure rate with bricked ECU was below 10% of total unofficial releases.

I'm glad I brought my MR to Jon to get it tuned or attempted to tune. Ecuflash in the wrong hands can be pretty dangerous if you don't know what you're doing. Hopefully Colby will find a solution for the issues we saw in flashing MRs. Keep me posted Jon!

I had no issue with a MR, however just one. Doing a ralliart next week, I'll report back on that one.

That is normal, you need to exit programming state and also clear DTC's (all within ecuflash) before starting car.

Bryan, may I ask how much HP the MR gained after you tuned it and what mods it had?
