yes it can be remapped using EcuTek.. the place you took it too must have been using opensource software.

I was answering this specific question
you seem to have a chip on your shoulder.. to my knowledge there are two tuners using the non-ecutek software within the uk and are trust worthy (you being one of them), and a number of non-trustworthy tuners using it, if someone doesn't pay for an ecutek licenced remap the first time you could argue they are locked into non-ecutek software as the cost to get it mapped elsewhere + the first remap exceeds two ecutek remaps, of which there are lots of dealers.
I was purely answering the original question.

Certainly no chip here Simon, merely asking for clarification from an official source.
I was looking to purchase a Subaru that had been mapped with Ecutek, the owner asked for the ECU to be reverted back to standard by the agent that mapped it so I could have a tinker. He was told that I may not be able to then map it as my software would not give me access.
This leads me to believe that although the standard map can be reflashed with Ecutek the lock, to those outside of Ecutek, cannot be removed.
If someone now pays for a PPP then decides they want to tune their car further with me, where does this leave them
