Default How come there are no programmers for 2011/2012/

Here's a thread for all of you that are frustrated with the lack of programmers/tuners for 2011 and 2012 models.

Feel free to vent!

What I've heard/read is because they're now using variable encryption algorithms for the communications. I.e. nothing but stock computers can talk to them.

What they need to focus on (instead of hacking the encryption - they won't be able to) is outright replacing/reflashing the stock programming.

Although as long as I can reset my gears/tire sizes and disable warning lights on stuff I overrirde (TPMS, Sway Bar disco) I don't really care about 'reprogramming'.

I saw, in "the other thread", some mention that Chrysler changed vendors for their PCMs. Was that on all vehicles? And do any of them have aftermarket support?

I have my doubts since it's been a full year since the 11's came out and no programmer has got it yet. Thats why I got the Procal.

the computer on the 11 and 12's have proven to be very difficult to crack. i talked to superchips and they've been working on reverse engineering them for sometime now and, while they are hopeful, it will take some time.

There not working with the right people. Post a challenge and a cash prize on the Internet and it would be broken in days.

Do this and you'll need virus protection for your jeep.
Then of course with virus protection it will run slower and crash often

So I went out looking for support for any other 2011+ Chrysler vehicle and couldn't find any. While I think the JK market is important (because I now own one) I don't think we will be the first to get tunes. I see the cars being first as many want to add power adders and such. The diesel truck market is also huge and will probably be near the first.

I don't know if this is a stupid question, but is there any way to swap out the 2011 ecu with a 2010? Or whatever has been changed from 2010 to 2011, I wonder if it could just be swapped.
