This is scary... hopefully the tuners get round it. Took a long time before they were able to properly access the ECU as it was.
Indeed, the latest Ford engine calibration uses Bosch Encryption and is mandatory at next service for XR5.
I know that DreamScience have no issues with this encryption!!!

It's up to you, if you decide to go with other Chip manufacturers, then to be safe, get friendly with your Ford Service crew and ensure the latest Cal doesn't get flashed in your PCM.
