Immobilizer Delete,anyone local ?

[Scorny]

Hey guys...
I'm just wondering if y'all know anybody locally that is capable of doing an immobilizer delete for an ALH(immo3) ?
The ECU is still on the car and I'm trying to avoid the down time of taking it out and shipping it to Malone.
Thanks.

If you already have a Malone tune on your car and need the immo delete. There is nobody local that can do it. It needs to be sent to Mark. I checked everywhere.
It cost me more in express shipping than it was for the actual delete.

Thanks a lot.

Found my old emails from him.

If he gets it on a Thurs or Fri he does it same day. Mon-Wed turn around is the next day. He charges $45 for fedex overnight and I think it was $75 for the delete. Cost me $45-50 to over night there.

Wow, No tuners in Ontario available to do an immobilizer delete. It's just a bypass.....I'm actually going to start looking around too.

I think the issue is that the ECU has already been tuned by Mark. Most tuners will lock some portions of the ECU files as part of the tuning process to protect their intellectual property. I can't say I blame them, but it does mean from that point on you're stuck with that tuner to adjust the tune including such items as deleting EGR or immobilizer, unless the ECU is later returned to stock programming by the tuner or with their tool (e.g. the Flashzilla in Mark's case).
