Haltech, LinkECU & MaxxECU map unlockA customer’s car came in with someone else’s lock on the map.
We unlock the map file without the previous tuner’s password. Put it in the right tray and the desk reads it back to you for free; pay $69.99 only when the read-out matches the car in your bay.

Running a workshop?
Cars change hands and tuners close up shop. When a car arrives with a protected calibration, the desk gives you a working copy of the map so the job can go ahead, and you keep the customer.
How shops use the desk covers what to ask the owner for and what the desk will never do.
Questions from the counter
- Who is the desk for?
- Mostly tuners and workshops who inherit a car whose map someone else protected. Owners who lost touch with their tuner use it the same way: one file, $69.99, no account.
- What do I need to send?
- The calibration file, untouched since its software wrote it. NSP gives .nexmap, PCLink gives .pclx, .pclr or .pcl5, MTune gives a .MaxxECU-save. Pull it from the laptop that last connected, or ask the owner for it.
- What happens to the ECU?
- Nothing. The desk works on the file. You load the open copy in the usual software and carry on from there.
- Do I see anything before paying?
- Yes. The read-out shows the unit, firmware and lock, then facts from inside the opened copy such as cylinders, capacity, firing order and pin assignments. On request the desk sends a screenshot of the map open in its software.
- What if the open copy does not load?
- Tell the desk. If the file will not load in its own software, the $69.99 goes back to you in full.
- Is it right to open a map someone else protected?
- Only send a file you own, or one your customer asked you to work on. Calibrations bought with a car or paid for by its owner usually belong with that car; check with the owner when in doubt.
