Technosquare is no longer offering ECU reflashes.. Read (no options for doggy doors!)

Techno Square Inc. will no longer be offering ECU reflashes due to the recent employment decision of their current engine tuner to leave the company.
Last year was a hard year for Techno Square.. their President and lead fabricator (Richey Watanabe) passed away due after a long and arduous fight against Pancreatic Cancer. As the company struggled to recooperate and restructure, the Engine Tuner decided to pursue other career options in Japan and here locally.
Howard Watanabe, (Richey's brother), the current owner of Techno Square has decided to now concentrate solely on engine building, race chassis preparation, and installations, however he no longer has the ability to offer engine tuning services. Techno Square is also working with Right Hand Drive Japan to help with their importing and legalization of RHD vehicles..
Steve Mitchell, who is a good family friend of the Watanabes (Steve, formerly of M-WorkZ fame), will soon be heading up Cobb So Cal as a manager, so hopefully something can be worked out [as far as Engine management is concerned]... but effectively immediately, TechnoSquare will no longer offer reflashes.

After as the doggy door issues:
The last word with Cobb is that they couldn't or were unwilling to get 03base sedan unit up and running.
TS uses the Techtom to reflash (I think) and I don't know what Cobb uses.
Maybe he can get the Cobb to work on the doggy doors

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
On a serious note, I didn't know Richey passed away
AAM still offers the reflash. I think they use the same software as Technosquare.

I guess they fail to understand the Maxima aftermarket crowd is huge (much bigger than the G crowd) and the 02-03 Maximas and Altimas use a much similiar code in their ECUs, if not the same. Cracking the code would open up a much larger customer base than just the 03 doggy door owners.
They cannot do the 2003's

In my honest opinion, I believe that the best way to get around these issues is to modify the 2004 ECU so that you can send it get it programmed via the UpRev / Cobb system. I am currently working on this process just it's hella expensive since I am the tester and the patch harness is being custom made.
