Does anyone know of a shop in Houston that can flash a 2005 Corvette ECM to my VIN when it is not installed in the car? I tried two dealers and they said no. My car is not street legal and I would prefer to only bring the computer to the shop instead of trailering my dead car and pushing it in and out of the trailer. Post here or PM me if know someone that can do this.

What year is your car? Same trans (auto/manual)?

We have a Tech II and can do it but if you mix/match the year/transmission/VIN, HP Tuners will have a cow.

It is a 2005 manual from factory and year/transmission/VIN will all stay the same. The original ECM was damaged in an accident. The actual transmission is from a 2007 ZO6 and diff is from a 2008 Z06, but trans harness is original to the 2005 car. I will call you tomorrow.
Thanks,

Np problem. We have a '05 bench harness and 12VDC PSU so we can bench flash your PCM

Stephen is missing an adapter (that is specific to 2005) needed to flash my ECM. He seems like a good guy and I wish he could have done it because they have a first class shop.

So if anyone else can do it, please let me know.

Thanks,
Eric

Yes, sorry Eric. I thought I had the E40 harness but I can't lay hands on it.

I have established communication with the (externally) damaged ECM and it seems to be working in spite of being hit pretty hard in an accident.
