Unlock Your Mopar’s True Potential: 2015+ Dodge/RAM PCM Unlocking in Virginia Beach

Don't ship your ECU across the country. Get expert, local PCM unlocking and professional dyno tuning at Late Model Domestics.

The Problem: Since 2015, Dodge, RAM, and Jeep vehicles have come from the factory with "locked" PCMs. If you’re looking to add a blower, swap injectors, or simply wake up your Scat Pack with a custom tune, that factory lock is standing in your way.

The LMD Solution: At Late Model Domestics, we provide a seamless, end-to-end unlocking service for all 2015–2024+ Mopar platforms.

  • Bench Unlocking: High-speed, secure unlocking for HP Tuners.

  • 2018+ Security Bypass: We stock and install the necessary Security Gateway Bypass (Smart Access) cables.

  • "White Glove" Handling: Your PCM is handled with the care.

  • In-House Calibration: We don't just unlock it; we can put it on our Mustang Dyno to ensure your new tune is safe and making maximum power.

Supported Vehicles:

  • Dodge Challenger & Charger (RT, Scat Pack, Hellcat, Redeye)

  • RAM 1500 & TRX

  • Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT & Trackhawk

Get Started

Please note this service is required to tune your 2015+ Dodge/Chrysler/Jeep/RAM

(all FCA models, except the 2015+ Dodge Viper and 2014 to 2019 Jeep/Dodge/Ram vehicles with the EDC17C79 PCM).

  • In addition to this service, all 2018+ models require an HP Tuners Dodge 2018+ Smart Access Cable.  We recommend you purchase this cable in a separate order to avoid delays.

  • Please ensure you are sending in ONLY a PCM. No brackets, rubber isolators, or other pieces should be included. These components may not be returned with your upgraded PCM.

  • PCMs with broken “LOCKING” tabs or connectors WILL NOT be accepted for upgrades. No exceptions.

  • This is a one-time upgrade that will not affect other operations of the PCM. The factory tools will still work for service.

  • While there is no hardware change, the back cover of the PCM does need to be removed.

  • EDC17C79 PCMs installed in 2014 to 2019 Jeep/Dodge/Ram vehicles do not need to be upgraded. The EDC17C79 PCM will update upon the first read of the ECM which will allow read/write abilities.

  • As of 12/21/2015, ALL non-original 2015+ Dodge/Chrysler/Jeep/RAM PCMs that are sent in for upgrade must have a stock read performed before it is shipped to us. This read must be uploaded before adding the Upgrade service to the cart.

  • Gen 3 EcoDiesel PCMs cannot be read prior to upgrade. Any spare or non-original PCMs will need to be programmed to the vehicle before or after the upgrade by HP Tuners—this is the responsibility of the customer.

  • If you are sending us a spare PCM, please make sure to send a read from the stock PCM. The stock read must be done as a GPEC2A, 2015+ Dodge or a GPEC2, 2015+ Dodge (depending on which PCM the vehicle is equipped with. Please see the Dodge PCM Identification Thread if you are unsure which PCM you have). If you do not have access to perform the read, please download the latest update from your customer page and try again.

  • Once ordered, you can send either an original PCM or a spare. The spare has to be a compatible PCM.
