    Got a Arrow Ecm, Have a SAE pass thru programmer , can I program my own ECm?

    I picked up a Arrow PCM for my TA 2.0
    I happen to own a high end repair and service shop.
    We have a new DREW technology pass thru device to program ecms.
    I know all the guys here have been going to the dealership to get their ecms installed.
    From what I gather the ECM is already programmed, just the vin needs to be written and idle relearned.
    I have access to the OE ecm data via my account with Dodge...
    Has anybody done this job outside the factory store or dealership?
    Thanks
    Mark

    I think I'll give it a shot end of next week..I'll buy the software license for a day and try to program it.
    A lot depends on what Dodge has released on their dealer site for programming.
    Maybe Arrow would know?

    The WiTech is like $3000 a month so I don't think a non Dealer will be able to do this and if you "brick" it up trying the wrong way you will be out the money and need a new one, I would suggest just doing it through the dealer.

    Wow..they really have the factory stores with a 3k a month lease cost for the OE software package.
    Thanks for the response...I found a way to check the software coverage on my pass through device..
    We've coded and programmed many modules and ecms...and be won't eating this one up.
