NOTE: After EVP unlocks and flashes your ECU, the Can Am Diagnostic Software Tool (BUDs tool used by Dealers) should not be able to flash the ECU. This is by design so that the dealer cannot relock the ECU. Regardless of the safety we have built in to prevent this, it is your responsibility to ensure the dealer does not attempt to flash over our tune. They may brick the ECU which may necessitate another unlock and associated cost. All other Buds functions will continue to function. It is also imperative that the VIN number is not changed in the ECU. The vehicle will not run if the VIN is altered. After the unlock is performed and you install your ECU into the vehicle, you will need to reset the maintenance reminder on the dash. This can be done by navigating to the “settings menu”, then “reset maintenance” and holding down the center button on the keypad for 5 seconds.
