a lot of brands missing from car list and only minor updates from the old powergate unit. At least this is what they advertise on their website

Are you going to be able to put your own files on?

from what i know as long as you are using a modified file that matches the stock file which was read out by the powergate you should be able to flash the modified file.

The information on the site leave alot of questions unanswered this is why i decided to pick this unit up and test it to see what can and cannot be done.

I would assume their car and manufacturer list is incomplete due to the fact that the distrbutor i purchased from told me it would work with my car and my car is not on that list but is on the list of the old powergate II.So i would assume it would be all the car list from all powergate unit rolled into one.

checksum only work true the tool if you NOT correct it with a tuningsoftware the mod file must have the checksum rsa area like in original file if your winols or other has mod the checksum then it can't correct the file when send to car and you risk to brick ecu
