From reading firmware.
To writing features.
8 chapters. MapSwitch (two implementations), obfuscation, VIN protection, map transfer, launch control — real features your clients will pay for, built from scratch in Ghidra.

Features your clients will pay for.
No ready-made plugins. No paid DAMOS. Every feature written directly into firmware in Ghidra.
8 chapters. Feature by feature.
Chapters 00–06 are live, including launch control written directly into firmware. Chapter 07 (Certification prep) is in development and delivered free to every enrolled student the moment it ships — lifetime access.
Before you touch the ECU
MapSwitch — Thomas's implementation
MapSwitch — Stanislav's implementation
Map coding (obfuscation)
Map transfer between versions
Code protect VIN
Launch control
Certification prep
Everything you need
to sell ECU features.
- MapSwitch — full implementation in TriCore firmware, with cruise control trigger + dashboard display. Two variants: Thomas's and Stanislav's
- Obfuscation — make your code unreadable to competitors trying to reverse-engineer your solution
- VIN protection (8 lessons) — tuning runs only on the specific car it was written for
- Map transfer — clean migration between firmware versions without breaking anchors
- Launch control — advanced launch logic written directly into firmware
- Certificate on completion (verified on certifiedtuners.com)
- Lifetime access — all future chapters and updates included free
- Monthly Q&A with Thomas
After 3 years of looking
I considered these courses for 3 years looking for easier paths — they don't exist. This information simply cannot be found online — it's a closed topic.
Before you enroll
Do I need Ghidra Fundamental first?
Yes. Practice assumes you already navigate firmware in Ghidra, read TriCore assembly, and understand code flow. Without Fundamental, chapter 01 will feel like a wall. If you're just starting, enrol in Fundamental first — or take the Bundle (€3,100, save €560) and get both together.
What about chapter 07 — when does it ship?
Chapters 00–06 are live and cover the full feature set — MapSwitch ×2, obfuscation, map transfer, VIN protection, and launch control written directly into firmware. Chapter 07 (Certification prep) is in active development. Every enrolled student gets it free the moment it ships — lifetime access, no upgrade fee. Plus all future chapters added to Practice.
Will these features actually sell?
MapSwitch and VIN protection are paid add-ons on most tuning shops — €200–€800 per unit depending on platform and complexity. Obfuscation protects your work from being resold by customers. Map transfer saves hours per new firmware revision. One MapSwitch sale per month covers this course in 3 months.
Does this work on ECUs other than TriCore?
Current course is TriCore-focused (Bosch EDC17/MED17, Continental SID, Denso). PowerPC and Renesas practice tracks are in development at Tuners Guild. The methodology (how to find the function, how to inject code, how to hook into existing logic) transfers directly — the architecture-specific assembly differs, but the reverse-engineering workflow is the same.
Ready to build what clients pay for?
By the end of 8 chapters, you've written MapSwitch into real firmware, obfuscated your code, VIN-locked a tune, and migrated maps between revisions — every feature a tuning shop would charge €200–€800 to deliver.
