AutoTuner Certified · Every Make
Valparaiso, FL · Emerald Coast
ECU & DME unlocking.
Locked ECU? We unlock it. Any make — domestic, Asian, European, diesel trucks and equipment. Including 2020+ BMW MDG1 controllers, unlocked here on our own bench without sending anything out. Decode your VIN below and we’ll tell you which controller it runs.
Before You Book
Look up your vehicle.
Enter your VIN and we'll decode exactly what you're driving, and tell you which ECU platform it most likely runs. We confirm the exact hardware number on the car before any work begins.
Your VIN is on the driver's-side dash through the windshield, on the door jamb sticker, or on your registration and insurance card.
Vehicle data decoded from the NHTSA vPIC public database. ECU platform shown is the typical fitment for this engine, not a confirmed part number.
ECU Unlocking — Every Make
What we can unlock.
Every platform we handle, and how each one is done — on the bench here, or through AutoTuner’s remote unlock.
Decode your VIN above and this becomes a list built for your car — the controller it runs, whether it comes out of the vehicle, and how long it’s down.
Don’t have the VIN to hand? Call (850) 582-9190 and we’ll look it up with you.
Minimum Downtime
Get the car back on the road.
The clock that matters isn't ours — it's how long your car sits. Pull the module, send it in, and we'll unlock it and get it straight back. Air freight both directions, because a car that isn't moving shouldn't be waiting on ground.

Tell us what you've got
Call or send the form below with your year, make, model and the ECU part number if you have it. We'll confirm we can unlock it before you ship anything.

We email you a prepaid label
No standing at a counter guessing at boxes. We generate the label on our account and email it — you print, tape, drop off. Shipping both ways is included in the price.

We unlock and ship back
Identified on the bench, unlocked, verified. Back out the door the same day it arrives whenever we can — the unlock itself is minutes, so the shipping is the only real wait.
How fast do you need it back?
Both options are air, both directions, prepaid labels included. Flat rate — no zone surcharges, no residential fees, no fuel adjustment. The price is the same whether you're twenty minutes up the road in Pensacola or all the way out in Seattle, and it doesn't change on a Friday. Pick by how many days you can be without the car.
Paying
Settle up in seconds.
Card, tap, or a link on your phone. Mail-in jobs are paid before the module ships back; work done here is paid at pickup.
Have an invoice or a quoted price?
Pay it here from your phone. Secure checkout, card or digital wallet — no account needed.
- Visa, Mastercard, Amex, Discover
- Apple Pay & Google Pay
- Tap to pay in the shop
- Cash
Mail-in work is paid before the module ships back. Diagnostic time is quoted before it starts — you'll never get a bill you didn't agree to first.
