I also hate the fact that the CarTunes software that is given to us to upload the file after we spend all that money to buy it expires. It is actually pretty dumb that it does as we should be able to roll back to our stock ECU image without having to beg for a new version of the software that development has actually seemed to have stopped on. So my curiosity got the best of me. MTH and CarTunes is the property of MTH and I don't like "hacking" nor do I condone it. However, changes made to my computer are fair game. So I figured out what exactly was happening by doing nothing more then using a program to monitor my system as I ran the file.


Overall it is pretty straight forward. It seems that a file is created in your windows folder called PCGWIN32.LI4 which is hidden.


Then a registry entry is created here…


HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\2E67FB18-CDA137D0-7BD7F55D


However, he got a little smart and if you roll back the machine after the error is thrown, it will create another key


HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\CE5283B0-579D7DFA-99CFFE4A


Remove these one or two keys and delete the file (along with setting your box back to the date that you got the software) and you should be unable to get it back up and running again allowing you to upload and download and as long as you don't activate the software with the date set current, you can continually set the date back and run the software as needed.


This was tested on version 1.1.17.2 and it works fine.
