2020 Tune capable?

A bit confused on tune-ability. Dealer Software updated me to 07/21, but the car is a 2019 production date.
Can it be flash tuned, or is the software date what matters more than the vehicle production one?

Pull your DME and check its date anything before 06/2020 should be good

OP, if the DME is before 06/2020 you can. But not the chassis production date, you’ll have to pull your DME because they both different dates. Also, if you get updated again, you’ll need to unlock again so avoid the dealer.

Thanks for the help, I’m heading to tuner now to apply stage 2, and will share how it goes.

Update: Vehicle was tuned with no issue, which helps confirm software date doesn’t matter, so long as the hardware is unlockable version from 06/2020 or earlier, as others mentioned here.

Thanks all!!

Unbelievably fast, still working up to it and will drop an impression thread once I spend some more time with it. I went with Mission Performance and incredibly happy with it so far.
