EMP Glitch $500

Mail-in $400

Current Supported Bosch ECU

(MG1 = Gasoline / MD1 = Diesel)

LR = Land Rover 

VAG = Volkswagen Audi Group

What is the Mail-In Service?

Some new ECUs have advanced security protections. Our Mail-In Service safely removes these locks so you can work on them using standard tools.

The result: After we unlock it, the ECU works just like a standard model. Any tuning tool that supports your ECU's "bench protocol" will be able to work on it without any extra restrictions.

Fast Processing

We work fast so you don't lose time:

Same-Day Service: We process and ship your ECU back the same day it arrives at our lab.

ECU Opening

Sometimes, we must open the ECU casing to unlock it. If we do, we will professionally re-seal it before shipping it back to you.

The Truth About MDG1 Unlocking

Recently, you may have seen a new unlocking method hit the market that relies on voltage glitching. We want to make one thing absolutely clear: we do not use this method for the ECUs you send to our workshop. When you trust us with your hardware, your control units will never be subjected to that kind of volatile attack.

The Hidden Risks of Voltage Glitching

Standard voltage glitching methods carry massive, inherent risks. By forcing sudden voltage drops and injecting brutal power fluctuations directly into the processor’s main supply line, it creates severe over currents and spikes. For tuners, this means experimenting on the "dark side" of hardware modification:

Catastrophic Hardware Failure: A single badly timed spike can instantly fry the main processor, permanently destroying an expensive customer ECU.

Unreliability & Permanent Damage: It is an unstable process, leading to inconsistent success rates and risks of degrading the internal silicon forever.

Which Should You Choose?

Both Boot Unlock and Mail‑In Unlock options deliver full ECU access for MG1 and MD1 units, but they differ in convenience and risk.

• Boot Unlock: This method has shown excellent success rates and allows same‑day turnaround. However, because it involves direct access to the ECU’s boot sector, there remains a small chance of damage during the process. Please note: While we take every precaution to ensure a safe unlock, we are not responsible for any ECU failures or damage that may occur during the Boot Unlock process.

• Mail‑In Unlock: A safer alternative for those who prefer a controlled environment. Your ECU is unlocked using specialized bench equipment, minimizing any chance of hardware damage. It takes longer but offers peace of mind.

In short: Choose Boot Unlock for speed and convenience, or Mail‑In Unlock for maximum safety and precision.
