ECU unlocking for Volkswagen, done in-house at our East Tamaki workshop.

Later Volkswagen ECUs are locked from the factory. Before any calibration can be written, the ECU has to be unlocked. Most workshops in New Zealand send those units offshore and wait weeks. We do it here, on our own bench.

What you get

• Bench or bootmode unlock of your factory-locked ECU
• A full original read taken and archived before anything is written, so the car can always go back to stock
• Your ECU never leaves Auckland
• Unlock, calibration and aftercare all under one roof - one workshop responsible

Before you buy

How it is done

Bench unlock - the ECU is opened. This ECU has to be opened on the bench to gain access, then closed and resealed by us. It is done in-house in East Tamaki, a full original read is archived before anything is written, and the unit is tested before it goes back in the car.

Confirmed coverage

Vehicles we can currently unlock post-June 2020: Golf 8, Arteon, Passat, Polo, Tiguan, T-Roc, Caddy, Multivan T7, Taigo, Talagon. ECUs: MG1CS011, MG1CS031, MG1CS002, MD1CS004. Coverage is checked against the live vehicle database before you pay - send us your year, model and engine.

Coverage depends on the exact ECU fitted to your car, not just the badge. Send us your year, model and engine and we will confirm your ECU is supported before you pay. This is a workshop service - the car or the ECU needs to come to us at 27a Neilpark Drive, East Tamaki.
