Default they are just that, rumors....

Do you really think that APR wants to release a chip that can be programmed by anyone?

I can just imagine the complaints about blown motors they'd get, plus lots of, "How do I work this thing?"

Not to mention that if they released a base program to start with, then any other chipping company could just copy it and release it as their own, which would be a big waste of R&D money.

Default I thought the stock unit was flashable....

But only with the new VAS 5052 or the older 5150.

It may not be true, but I heard from a few that it was.
