Added benefit is that many pro tuners offer files custom made for your specific mod setup. These can be emailed to you and uploaded and installed at home.
Cobb told me they need the DME/ECM to cut it open and physically alter a circuit to allow access through the aldl OBD2 port.
Interesting. That is new. Porsche must have locked the ECU on the newest 991.2 cars. That sucks!

I looked at the process on COBBs website. If I had a brand new 991.2 TTS I would definitely pass until they refine things. There will be a software way around the lock at some point.
