It would be best to use the beta, then you can try reading with the various controllers we currently support.
That strategy isn't on my list, so I am unsure what PCM type it is.
Is that something I need to apply to get a copy of? I remember getting a copy once upon a time a while back, but currently I just have the latest release installed on my tuning laptop/computer.
Great and done. Is there something in particular that you think would help in reading a Blackoak ecu? Anything I need to do when going to attempt to read it? I know you mentioned using various controls until you find one that works....can you go more into that? Sorry if this is rudimentary, I am used to just plugging into a car and it recognizing what I am tuning.

Well, a step in the right direction. It gathered some information and realized what vehicle year at least. Got the above information today when I drove out today and it gave the following message upon failing to read:
Controller Unlocker: timed out
Any ideas? It would not read the ecu. This was with 2.25 beta software. I followed the instructions that it gave, turning the key off, waiting 3 seconds, then turning it back on and clicking ok. Just would not read.
Gotcha. I guess I will have to drive back out there and plug into the car again to get a good info log.
I find that when told to wait 3 seconds, cars time out on me if I count to "3 one thousand" lol. If I count to 4 or 5, I never get the timeout issue.
Good to know, I can try that when I go back out there tomorrow. It is just slow since it is not my car and having to drive 45 minutes each time I want to try since the car is currently inoperable and will be until we decide on a tuning solution. He may just have to break down and get the other software if we don't figure something out.
One mustang I did would not work unless I closed and opened the door. Though it was strange but could have been a weird coincidence
I just bought a 2002 Ford Taurus Id love to be able to TURBOCHARGE and tune. Maybe OLSD 3bar?
It only has 155hp, and it would take some boost to get to 400hp. I have attached the tune, and some info.

Please let me know if there is anything else I need to include :-)

I also have a Focus SVT. I just installed the latest version but have the same problem. I have been digging, is there a resolution?
Thank You.
Hi Eric, Just found this list and my 08 MKZ is on it but I can't read my PCM to send you a file. I keep getting the error message "controller unlocker: x11 service not supported" but I am able to use the VCM scanner to get real time gauge readouts. Any Ideas ?
Thanks,
Ross Converse
Hi Eric, this is all I have, screenshots. Thanks, RossAttachment 68141Attachment 68142
are 2009 Focus supported?
What is the turnaround time on adding a vehicle. I have a 2015 Mustang GT I'm currently waiting on the definition to be added.
If your having trouble with a 2015 GT it probably has a custom/encrypted tune on it already. Do you have an SCT where you can "Return to Stock"? and then read it?
