Re: 2020 FK8 Flashpro jailbreak status 'unknown'

Try the E25 map if you have E85 pumps nearby. Even better.
Thanks, I'll look into that.

Re: 2020 FK8 Flashpro jailbreak status 'unknown'

Funny... shortly after I sent that last message, I got a call from the dealership saying the ECU arrived and the car was ready. Installed a basemap already, and lovin' it so far.

Re: 2020 FK8 Flashpro jailbreak status 'unknown'

ayau - good to know you got your ECU already. My 2020 FK8 ECU was mailed out to Hondata on on July 23rd or 24th (my dealership mailed it out). Sounds like yours was mailed out to Hondata around the same time? I'm still waiting to receive the ECU back. I've been without my car for a week and a half ...

Re: 2020 FK8 jailbreak

In case others are curious, my dealership (First Texas Honda in Austin) said they now offer the 2020 FK8 jailbreak service. They essentially have to mail it in, same as what I would do. However, they charge $350 ($50 more than Hondata) but include the labor of removing, mailing, re-installing the ...

Re: 2020 FK8 jailbreak

I was totally expecting a "no, they can't do that" response, so that gives me a bit of hope. I'll check with the dealership then, thanks.

Re: 2020 FK8 jailbreak

Because you're accepting 2020 ECUs for jailbreaks now, does this mean that other authorized companies can do this as well?

I'm asking because my Honda dealership can jailbreak pre-2020 FK8 ECUs. Does this mean that they can follow your process now for jailbreaking the 2020 ECU? I will check with ...

Re: 2020 FK8 jailbreak

I sent an email to the folks here: https://www.imwtuned.com/store/p19/fk8unlock.html

and they said they should be able to jailbreak the 2020 FK8 ECU if I mail it in to them. I just want to confirm if I do that, the Hondata Flashpro should work normally with this ECU. My ECU was listed as a ...

Wow, that's a bummer. I assume Honda figured it out and blocked it? Anyways, thanks for the quick reply.

Re: 2020 FK8 jailbreak


Due to the current pandemic, and the fact we are working from home, we are working on a way to get the 2020 jailbroken. This will involve it being sent in. Please check the website for updates to this.


Thank you for the update. To clarify, are you saying that the 2020 ECU cannot be jailbroken ...

I'm curious about this as well... specifically for the 2020 FK8.

Re: 2020 FK8 jailbreak

Crap, I'm an idiot! I entered my 2020 FK8 ECU number into the FlashPro website, saw that it was supported (assuming I could instant jailbreak it as well), and bought it at the dealership today. Then I got to the Jailbreak point in the FlashPro Manager software, and everything was greyed out. Then I ...
