The back to stock rom and the base uprev rom which you can modify because its just a copy of the stock rom ....

You get en e-Tune . Which needed some of your datalog then sent them to uprev.
They work on a tune then lock it. Simply to prevent other peoples to potentialy modifying it thenhave a chance to blow your engine. Its safe for both side, you and them.

Why would they let you get an etune and possibily letting you sharing it to someo else with similar mods ?
They would lose money .

Since I got my Tuner cable upgraded to Pro version I now lock everything I tune.
Im not letting other tuners see the tweaks I have done.


If you arent happy with their etune . You are more than welcome asking them the base rom of your ECU then tune it the way you like with your tuner cable. I doubt they would let you touch their etune rom !
Good luck with that
The question is:
Why when I purchased three years ago the e-tune procedures works in a way, and now after three years without advice, after I spent my money on Uprev products the procedure changes?

To reply your question: I like to see what's happens, I am simply curious with some of money.
I live in Italy, so for a safety reason I made the maps directly from Uprev. Here there aren't Pro-Tuners.

So if I choose between Two products, for example Cobb and Uprev.
Three years ago Uprev "says": well, you can look my maps with Tuner Version.
And I bought Uprev.

Now, after 3 years, Uprev changes Idea: "No, now that you had bought my software, the maps are locked!"

Well, I thinks that it's not correct.
As is if tomorrow Bill Gates will say: ALL PEOPLE that mounts Windows will installs ONLY Microsoft Software.
Ok, Windows is your, but I payed to used it when I bought my PC. Why now I can not work as yesterday!?
The same is Uprev.

For the safety: perhaps you are right, but REMEMBER! Every owner that modify his car assumes a risk.... ....if I modify the Map without know what I do, or I mount myself the braking plate without know what I do. The GUILT is not of Uprev or Brembo.... ...but mine...
