Any tuner should be able to access 2012 and newer, 2011 where the "bad" ones but AlienTech has protocols for boot mode and OBD2 for 2011s

my advice call some tuners around and ask or simply e mail them ,

the tuner in Atlanta will have what you need , but I highly suggest you contact him beforehand , he can do remote flash with out you having to dismount your pcm from vehicle.

these are his phone numbers 678 681 4029 or 678 862 3917, his name is Andy Cunningham or AC

call him he is super easy to understand and he will walk you thru the process even if you are not comfortable doing it , then he will ask to have the pcm mailed over to the shop .

INFO@PCMTUNERS.COM , i see his website is fully operational as well .http://www.pcmtuners.com.

hope this helps !

I'd love to know more about an ECU remap for these cars. My 2013 needs a little bit more pep in his step.
Would that tuner in Atlanta have the correct remap file? I've never tuned a car before and am wondering about the first step to this process.
Just posted an update/thread On tuning you might wanna check it out

Hello there folks , so big update i finally found a cost friendly tuner that works !
as the company from Europe was a no go either
So had to go as far a China :LOL:
PCM Tuner magic car tool with 67 integrated modules can read and write EMS2205 among other ECUs that aren't as popular or tune friendly , however ACTUAL READ needs to be done on BENCH MODE and sometimes BOOT MODE (open unit) using Module #53. checksum and writing can be done tru OBD with module #4 ,just make sure your internet connection is stable and continuous and have a handy charger or battery stabilizer or simply use gauge #2 (minimum), jumper cables like i did using my wifes Expedition to stabilize Voltage . While i did not read the unit since i already have The Original file at hand plus my ECU been opened once, in order to Tune or Calibrate you will need the Original from your own ECU, sadly sharing yall mine won't do yall any good because vin number mileage and immobilizer system . etc. The other option will be to buy from a reseller database Original files where you should be able to find the exact software used for your particular ecu, year model, vin , hardware number ect, while those files are inexpensive, the liquescence to acquire them is . Being the tool is a Master version you can use a file service from your tuner of choice or any file service and just simply flash into the unit if you do not feel comfortable attempting calibration yourself . You will need Calibration Programs if you are , ECM Titanium ,Winols , HEX Editor ,Bit box, etc. Some old versions can be used free ,good for practice while latest ones require purchase of license/certification . I myself still figuring installation and how to use some of these Programs ,good news there are free lessons on YouTube courtesy of HP Tuners as well as full academy courses you can buy from them . The concept is the same regarding what Program you decide to go with and they explain to detail in very simple terms . From what i have seen , learning the binary system is a huge help to identify maps or potential maps . There is so much information out there and even Forums that their main focus is Tuning and calibration . check out the link below
and always look ECU list before buying any programmer for that matter .

Keep i mind there is an 8hr difference between this particular seller and US mainland. of course you can go with any seller you want , but at least is a start for those who want to learn like i do

Be careful with these Chinese clone tools. In short, you get what you pay for. The PCM Tuner magic car tool that @Mercurios2011 mentions is cracked/cloned Chinese software, which (other than the virus) generally works.

The hardware is total garbage. I think this PCM Tuner magic car tool is no longer available, but not to worry, China will release a new/alternate clone tool sooner than later.

If you are using REAL hardware, like the Scanmatik2Pro or a J2534 device (like the CARDAQ3) from a reputable manufacturer with the cloned/cracked virus you should be fine, just use a spare computer you get for cheap and don't connect it to the internet and don't login to any of your accounts. I would not reflash an ECU with the cloned hardware. Good luck, happy tuning.

I had no clue they stop making these ,after the mistake i made that night playing with it .I had to re flash it and delete the evap from the pcm as well , car still runs strong with peak power at 6500 even with 7k open limiter with hopes on runing peak at 6800k,but even the guys at Dynochip couldn't understand why it cuts off at 6600K anyway.

Long story short i was supposed to get it dyno and send the data to them ,but never got around it, and i simply stored the the tool away. I still have both StG2 service files and even got an old laptop and installed winols (old version) but i deviated from the tuning all together and left the car as is ,still manage up to 39 mpg when crusing.

After such a long time i wonder if one of the sections within the map itself is incorrect,but who knows .
