TuneLock Feature


TuneLock is a free feature in the Woolich Racing Tuned software that allows the user to lock tuned maps within a bin file, to prevent other people from simply reading out their custom maps from the ECU.

The Tuner can choose their own password, or use the Automatically Generated Password option. The bin file including all maps, settings, etc is then locked to the Tuner's account and cannot be viewed or modified by anyone else unless they have the TuneLock password.

The TuneLock password is linked to the account used in the Woolich Racing Tuned software when the lock was applied.  If the same user is logged in to the Woolich Racing Tuned software, they will not be asked for the TuneLock password to view or unlock the bin file.

If another user tries to open a TuneLocked bin file, they will require the password in order to view the file.  If the password is not known then the bin file can not be opened or viewed.

This feature is aimed at workshops that invest a lot of of time in creating custom tune files and do not want others to be able to simply copy their work.

It is possible to request a Key Transfer for a TuneLocked ECU, but the existing tune can not be read out, and the next tuner will need to start with a new stock bin file and write the ECU again. Writing to the ECU using a new file after the key transfer will clear the previous tune, and also remove the TuneLock password.
